Galaxy watch battery drain after May update

[engmohammedyehi]

My watch battery started draining rapidly after May update. This is really started to be annoying. Each update they fix something and break other stuff. This is started to be a bull*****. The last update they fixed the battery drain and broke the encoding for some languages. This update they screwed the battery again. I don't know what kind of engineering is this?

Having the same problem. Got a brand new Galaxy watch a few weeks ago. Battery life was easily 3 to 4 days even with intens usage. With latest update (firmware version 1.8.19021402) it's down to less than 24 hours with everything off! The one and only reason I got my a Galaxy watch was it's battery life. Worst purchase in my life (and this is my 5th smartwatch already).

I've had my 42mm galaxy watch for 2 months. I'm not overly active dont listen to music on it.  It's gone from lasting abut 48 hours to lasting 11 hours today. 11 hours! I dont understand.
