Galaxy watch 4 classic battery drain

Latest update has really ruined this watch battery drains like mad locks randomly on your arm where u need to enter the pin. Avoid the update if u didn't install it yet

Is it that bad?

[Franciemccool]

Yes

There is definitely something going on. Mine was doing it before the last update too. Watch drains rapidly 10%+ every hour. Not lasting a 12 hour day. It's happened twice now. Each time I've reset the watch and it resolves it for a time. Just waiting for it to start doing it again....

There is a newer and much larger update ending DUJA that is already out. BUT...as is always the case with Samsung it is being rolled out in stages so depending on where you live it may or may not be available now.....UK being one of those having to wait.........

[Franciemccool]

Yes we always get update 2 to 3 weeks after everywhere else I'm the uk

Hoping this new update fixes battery issue and gmail issue, but I don't think it adds google assistant ..........

Just wanted to say I experience exactly the same. Battery now draining 10% or more every hour - even with all the battery saving tips I've found implemented! Even went so far as to disable wifi, nfc and permanently set screen to 1/4 brightness.
For me it all started Sunday 24 October.

I've had it for weeks before that, and would get about one week out of it before. I just gave it a short charge each morning, while getting ready (prob. 10 min.).
Also note that I slept with it on and had blood oxygen monitoring and all other health features turned on. The only battery saving features back then were no AOD and a dark theme.

Contrast that to now, where I must do a full charge twice daily - even with so many battery saving tips and features that it is no longer an enjoyable experience to use the watch! This is simply an insane decrease in performance!

Edit: Spelling.
