@klandwehr I have just reset it and turned off background refresh to see if that helps

@klandwehr I’ve seen this has been a widespread issue. I’ve seen some comments on Reddit that the 6.1 beta has shown a lot of improvement.

@klandwehr I had a battery issue with a series 1 watch after the iOS 13 upgrade I traced the cause to the new Reminders app and assumed it was because of a version mismatch (series 1 doesn’t have watchOS 6, yet, so still has the old Reminders). If you continue to see the problem, you could try to remove Reminders from your phone?

@klandwehr Did the reset sort it? Mine charges overnight. I've been wearing it today for about 8 hours so far and it has 67% charge still. That includes a workout of 1.25 hours.

@Miraz not sure I haven’t taken off the charger since I reset it, I will update you tomorrow and let you know if it works

@Miraz well after resetting it lasted from 8:00 AM until 5:30 (10%), better but still not acceptable

@klandwehr Argh. Not good. In the few days I've had mine, battery life has been good. I wonder why some are OK and others not?

@Miraz @klandwehr It appears to be software related, but primarily on the cellular models.
