Battery Draining?

[Dankees]

Please help me.

Within like 30 minutes, my battery dropped from 100% to 85%.

I am running Watchmaker for the face. I have it on with Always On Display, but dimmed out. I only have notifications for texts.

I don't have it light up with my wrist gestures.

(I did notice sometimes that the second hand was moving, as if the watch wasn't hibernating.)

I am connected to my phone and Wi-Fi.

Battery failure maybe? I bought a Moto 360 Sport recently. It was brand new, but since these things have been sitting on the shelf for years the batteries are still getting old. It drained very fast after getting it all setup. The Urbane is a few years old now, isn't it? Maybe the battery is just going bad? What does the Wear OS app show is draining the battery? Maybe a watch factory reset? I have had to factory reset my watches many times over the years and then re-pair with the phone to clear out weird Wear OS bugs.

That happens to me as well occasionally. Usually its just some process on the watch that is stuck in some sort of loop, which causes the battery drain. A simple reboot/restart of the watch corrects it.

If not, then it could be something in that watch face your using. Try using a different (and simpler) watch face as an experiment to see if that corrects the problem.

And if all else fails, a factory reset as suggested above.

Well, I did a factory reset. Let's hope that'll do the trick.

I shall test it out today and hope things work better.

It was working OK yesterday, then I loaded anew watch face to it and it got all sluggish and screwy again.

Let's hope that was a fluke and won't happen again.

I will post a follow-up.

So far, after 4 hours, I lost about 20% battery life.

That's about normal for me. For you too, or did it used to be even better than that?

After 13 hours, I was down to about 44% left.

Not bad.
