An Apple Watch 4 user who experienced battery charge plunges after updating to the watchOS 9.5 lamented how it’s drained from 100% to 0% via Apple’s discussion community.
In his words: “I started checking the charge level on my Apple Watch 4 after a full charge. No activity on the watch.”

Responding to the complaints, another Apple Watch 7 user said the watchOS 9.5 update drains the battery quickly.
“Same here, v9.5 drains the battery quickly. Apple Watch 7. Before the update I could reach almost 2 days, now at the end of the day it has only a few % left. I do not use any of the health monitoring and tracking apps so the problem must be elsewhere.”
