Galaxy Watch 3 software update battery drain

[kradcliffe]

I got a software update yesterday and ever since the watch has been draining super quick. Was perfectly fine until the update.

I've tried rebooting but it's still draining quickly.

Thanks but I don't want to have to reset everything. Took long enough to get the watch working as I want it.

Tried to reset with a backup in place, but after restarting it won't pair. Ah well I've had enough of this. Will be contacting Currys to see what they can do. I'm outwith 30 days so I'm sure it will be a complete circus. Oh well.

Such a shame as it was working perfectly well until yesterday.

I updated my Galaxy Watch 3 as well but mine seems to be fine. I have seen others also facing the battery issue. I will keep an eye anyways

My Lte Watch 3 is showing nothing ? Are yours all bluetooth ?

Just a quick update. I had to factory reset the watch then completely uninstall all the watch apps from my N20U. It has now paired and restored the backup. Battery life seems fine once again.

A lot of hassle though setting up pay again and recalibrating the BP monitor.

Samsung really need to work on their updates though .... I won't be putting another one in.
