This was unexpected…

Installed on my Series 5.

Thanks for the heads up. Installing on my Series 6.

Now I realize why I wasn't seeing an update for my Series 3!

It seems to be fixing some issue on Apple Watches Series 4 and later.

My 2$ take: chargers not getting recognized… again.

I think you're right!

about time. The recent 8.4 update was a nightmare. Laggy displays, freezes on scrolling etc. Something I've never experienced before on earlier versions. Hopefully 8.4.1 will fix that.
P.S. mine is a 5

I have not experienced that on my Apple Watch Series 5.

The only (expected) behaviour is that my battery lasts less. I can’t get a full day in from a 80% morning charge (off charger at 9:00, out of battery at 19:30). But it’s not that far off, so won’t complain

Anyone else having issues with this update? After performing the update, my S4 isn't fully charging and is dropping charge fast. I took the watch off of the charger, after 11 hours on it, and it was at 98%. And now, after 20 minutes on my wrist, it's at 93%.

Battery drained faster yesterday on my S5 than it has in the almost 2 years that I’ve had it. I have never experienced a battery drain issue before. I’ll keep an eye on it for a couple days.

I don't see any difference in battery drain on my 6.

My Series 5 had battery drain on the first day I installed the update but after two forced reboots my battery life went back to normal.

No more lags or freezes with 8.4.1
Battery is still the same: full charge late at night. Then I wear it in bed. 10-20% in the next evening (unchanged from before 8.4.1)

My battery life is back to normal.
