Galaxy Watch Active unexpected battery drain after Samsung health update

[Qwerty7]

Basically up until today I was getting 2-3 days of battery from my watch, pretty average. There was this Samsung health update that became available last week, but I only installed it today. Ever since then, Samsung health has been eating up the most battery and it has been draining 4-6% an hour, which would mean it would barely last a day. Is anyone else having this problem? And when will Samsung fix this?

As of 03-21-2021 there is still no fix to this battery drain.  WHY?  Do you not care?  I had to buy a new watch but NOT Samsung. This is a VeryFitPro. It was only $35 on Amazon and this battery life last 7 days PLUS. It does all i need it it do including phone calls and text. I only wish my $300 samsung gear s3 would get  a quarter of half that. Please Fix this.

Having same issues here

Battery was 100% at midnight when I went to bed.  I took it off the charge dock at midnight, when I woke at 8am the battery was down to 45%.  I factory reset my watch and installed all the updates and it is still draining fast.  I dont even have the heart rate monitor running!

I ended up sending my watch to Samsung for repair.  They have offered to refund or replace the battery under warranty.

Well... I'm also have the same problem. All this is because of new version of Samsung Health app. I tried a previous version and everything worked fine so I decided to keep it. But now I got a new Galaxy Watch 4 and it needs latest version of Health app. So, now the problem is back and I'm really sad that after more than a year the problem is still not solved.
