Apple's latest watch update has effectively made useless many versions of their watch from SE to the latest generations, mine included. The issue includes lightning fast battery drain & overheating while charging. This is a outrageous & no word nor fixes provided. Mine will not charge without being off. Otherwise it either charges enough to stay at a low amount or just overheats. I have a Series 6 that used to last all day and now barely two hours of not even using it (just being on my arm). I have several other watches from them I am keeping offline to avoid this fiasco.

Yeah, it’s wild! The 2 main causes I’ve seen are either a random 3rd party app, or if the iPhone isn’t on iOS. Seems like pretty obvious things you would test in QA.

Fortunately I had my S4 set NOT to auto-update, so I’m holding off now until a fix is released!
