Update draining battery on galaxy watch 5

[Joel14spurs]

Has this update ruined anyone else's battery life? Any workarounds?

I've actually experienced an improvement in battery life somehow

[Joel14spurs]

My battery normally only drops by 30-40% in a 24 hour period. I'm down by 80% over 16 hours atm

[UNKNOWNUSERNAME]

that's the way mine used to be, it lost 80% in 24hrs now its losing less

Me too! Quite a significant one. It's really weird. I have a Watch4 too and swap between the 2 so I'm never without, and I have just this minute got the update for that. It'll be interesting to see if there's a difference there.

[UNKNOWNUSERNAME]

I'm quite shocked, although I'm happy about it.

Hilariously, my Watch4 appears to be going down the drainage route judging by tonight's performance!😆 I'll do a side by side settings check tomorrow and maybe it will catch up

I have the watch 5 pro LTE. Before the update. I could get 3 days 9 hours after a full charge. After the latest One UI 5 update, I had even cleared the cache, I now get 2 days 3 hours.

So after a series of reboots, mine has actually normalised. Suggest multiple reboots until you see a difference
