Bought a shiny new Series 4 Apple Watch (finally reasonably functional, useful for recording my current diet/workout plan, and promising decent battery life) on Monday.
Battery was surprisingly drained when I got home last night. (farewell dinner for a member of our already-understaffed IT department, joy!)
This morning? It went from 100% to 18% in just over 3 hours, and all I’m doing is sitting at my laptop working. Maybe I get up occasionally, stretch, and grab a (diet) soda.
W.T.F.
Naturally, Apple offers no visibility into what could be draining the battery, but force-killing the few apps I have and turning off pretty much all background activity and notifications haven’t slowed the drain.
In the time it took me to type this, it dropped another 3%.

Good: Power-cycling the watch seems to have fixed it (for now).
Bad: I power-cycled my watch. This is not the future I was promised.
