I used to get about a 4 day charge when charging my watch. The last week or two when I charge I'm going only getting less than 2 days. Any thoughts? 

Thanks

I don't know how you managed to ever get 4 days out of the watch. On any of the three models of watches I've owned , I never got more than 36 hours, even with the BT only model. That's just fine with me because I prefer to charge daily anyway and the extra 12 hours gives me plenty of buffer time in case that's not possible. The battery is simply not big enough to sustain 4 days unless you are in watch only mode. The average in non Ultra watches is 32-36 hours of uptime.

The adaptive battery should have normalized by now and re learned your usage patterns, but give it a few more days.  The new update gave the Ultras a couple of extra health features, so it's possible some of the sensors may be more active at certain times.  If you don't want these new health app features, you can likely turn them off and see if that helps.

 

Did you clear the watch's cache partition after the update?

No I did not clear the cache. I'll have to check how to do that.

I still have the same situation. From about 100 hours on a charge to 36 hours on my ultra watch. I'm thinking a full reset might fix it. Looking for tips, pros and cons on doing a reset.
Thanks,
Don.....
