Why is my Apple Watch Series 9 battery draining so fast?
Watch series 9 w/ cellular running watchOS 11.3.1, paired to an iPhone XR iOS 18.3
Bought it brand new around 2 months ago had excellent battery life for the first few weeks and then suddenly it started draining around 10% per hour. Its been draining like that for the last 3 weeks. Currently I have to charge it around 2-3 times a day its unusable. So far I have tried:
- Rebooting multiple times ( pressing the crown + side button)
- Updating my phone
- Updating my watch
- Unpairing and erasing (Twice)
- Resetting sync data
- Turning off live activities, always on display and low power mode
The battery health is still 100% according to the settings app so I am out of ideas.
Would greatly appreciate any suggestions because I can't get any official support from apple because my watch is a cellular model and the authorised apple repair shop in my city said they cannot file claims on cellular watches.
