      london2tim, 31 Jul 2024battery drains at 15-20% an hour with everything turned off... moreSomething is wrong for sure. I got my Watch Ultra on July 17th (it was pre-ordered) and I am wearing it constantly since then. Battery lasts 2.5-3days with AOD on, wearing it during the night for sleep tracking, notifications on and some workouts every other day. Will do the update today, to see whether it has any impact.

        xPandamon, 31 Jul 2024I get 2 days with AOD on, so 3 days should be possible. 4 ... moreThanks, initial impressions looks decent enough. Got it set up about 7pm and was about 83%. Have AOD turned on and did some light exercise tracking. Just a half hour walk with the dog and by 9am next day had lost about 10%. Had a Xiaomi watch S3 before and could genuinely go almost 2 weeks with AOD turned off and doing an hours workout tracking most days so I've been spoiled.

                    Meanwhile My Watch 6 was last updated on April 20 with stuck on March Security Patch. This is how Samsung treats its year old Flagship products

                                Can it will solve the battery drain issue since most people has try turning every connection before? Probably just hardware defect at this point?

                                  First and last update, I'm sure
