We love theApple Watchhere at T3 but compared to some other wearables it doesn’t exactly have battery life to spare, which is why reports of excessive battery drain are so concerning. Some users have been going from a full charge to completely empty in just two to four hours, not that they can time it on theirApple Watch!
Luckily it looks like Apple is aware and tackling the problem. It’s new WatchOS 10.1.1 update “provides important bug fixes and addresses an issue that could cause the battery to drain more quickly. " If you’ve been having battery issues then definitely take a moment to check for a new OS update.
This new update comes just two weeks after the 10.1 update so clearly Apple rushed to urgently fix what is a serious issue. The 10.1 update also fixed a variety of issues including one that displayed the wrong elevation level for users and introduced some new functionality for the super cooldouble tapfeature.

If you were worrying about this problem before upgrading to an Apple Watch 9 orApple Watch Ultra 2, then you can rest easy knowing it’s one of thebest smartwatcheson the market. The next update to the Apple Watch will likely be WatchOS 10.2, which is already in beta, this should likely bring bigger changes than this most recent patch, but certainly nothing as urgent.
