To those of you who have installed watchOS 9 Developer beta, is your battery draining faster than normal? I installed watchOS 9 last night and I’m already down to 40% battery life remaining and it’s only 3:40 in the afternoon. I will reboot it when I get home to see if things improve.

For me it’s draining about 10% faster than before. So that’s to be expected.

It was down to 24% when I got home from the office. When I got home, I rebooted it and then connected it to its charger for a bit. It’s now back on my arm, but I’m keeping a close eye on how fast it drains. Anyway, I appreciate the response sir.

I forgot to follow up in this thread. Anyway, I reset my Apple Watch the other day and now my battery life with watchOS 9 is almost back to the way it was prior to installing the new beta.
