Ah you mine using data watch only? Ok fair enough. I have the gps only model as I don’t use cellular on my watch and it drains too much for my liking
Apple Watch 4 on WatchOS 6.1 showing battery drained at 10% after 40 minutes of workout tracking
This happened two days in a row. After updating to WatchOS 6.1, my fully charged Apple Watch 4 would show battery level below 10% after a 40 minutes work out which is the exact same routine I've had prior to updating to the latest OS since I purchased it in Oct 2018. Before the update, it usually takes 30% of the battery for an hour of workout tracking.
Yesterday when it first happened, the battery seemed to be completely drained in 40 minutes of workout. Today the same thing happened and the watch shut down itself again. It could't be turned back on unless it's connected to a charger. When I placed it on a charging dock, it powered on itself and showed 68% battery left. I'm unsure if it's a software issue or the battery needs to be replaced. Seems odd that the battery would suddenly fail after an update.
Anyone experiencing the same issue?
Just tested to have AOD off during the night and then took off cellular during day as well. After 23 hours with 3.5h of active use I still have 50% left! Conclusion is that during the night with AOD off I manager to drain less than 2%/h I lost 14% during the night (9 hours). But keeping AOD off really feels wrong, might as well have kept my AW2.
Next I will try to see what complications impact battery life. Siri off, no Noise and no RTW in all scenarios.

The next iOS update fixed it for me. That one is honestly the worst update I’ve had. I don’t criticize Apple a lot but omg, the update is horrendous. It broke so many things.I did as soon as I updated. I backed my iPhone up to iCloud, unpaired and re-paired my watch and it returned back to the battery life I had.
Can anyone who is having battery issues check their usage statistics and confirm their total usage equals their standby?
6.1.1 battery life seems better. I was averaging a 2.8% usage per hour on 6.1 with AOD switched on and light use. Now I am consuming 2.4% an hour. It may not seem like much but over 20 hours that's 8% less.
