Latest Galaxy Watch update could drain battery, according to user reports

Some Galaxy Watch users say a recent update has made battery drain noticeably worse.

Reports span multiple models, including the Galaxy Watch 6, 7, 8, 8 Classic, and Ultra, though others say their battery life is unchanged.

Google Play Services is emerging as a possible cause, but Samsung has not commented yet.

Because battery life is a key Galaxy Watch selling point, a widespread issue could hurt user experience and trust in updates.
