I was just wondering if anyone else is having problems with the Galaxy Watch Active battery life since the update? My battery now only lasts about 6 hours and its driving me insane. Not much point to a Watch if I have to take it off to charge it twice a day. I've tried turning off stuff on it and turning the brightness down. Nothing I seem to do makes a difference.

Had exactly the same problem. Do a backup, then reset the watch and restore the backup. Fixed it for me.

I've had the same issue, since update my battery is draining fast. Usually my watch would last all day and still have 40- 30% battery- now 30% drains in 5 mins.

Same problem with Watch 3. I had to charge it 2 times during the day yesterday,   and it completely drained overnight. 

Battery usage showed ~20% watch face, ~20% samsung health so I applied minimal watch face but no obvious difference on battery life.

Did a backup, reset, restore   ,  I'll let you know if this fixed the issue.

Well I reset the watch, I left everything in factory default today to see if that helped it hasn't. It will be dead within the next hour. Its so disappointing, only got it last month.

That doesn't seem right to me @Bexstar . Would you be able to let the watch battery drop under 50% from a full charge and send us a screenshot of the battery usage so I can see if there is anything malfunctioning or draining too much battery? 

You can get this info from the Samsung Galaxy Wearable app > Settings > About Watch > Battery.

I've just sent mine off to get repaired/looked into as since the updated the battery life was all over the place and I only got mine last month.

At one point the charge went from 100% to 45% in 7hrs (whilst I was sleeping) then it went from 45% to 0% in the next 26hrs! Just didn't make any sense at all I barely used it throughout so didn't understand why the battery dropped so quickly initially.

Then when I charged it back to 100% it only lasted around 6hrs.

I've reset it numerous times, turned notifications off, uninstalled/reinstalled the samsung apps, used a dull watch face and none of it worked.

So I'm just waiting to see what they say after looking into this issue as I know a lot of people are having the same problem.
