Apple Watch Series 2 Battery Drain Without iPhone – Fixes

apple-watchiphone

Can anyone else confirm if their Series 2 Apple Watch battery drains faster when it's not connected to iPhone? I leave my watch at home when I go to work, because my work poses too many threats for it, and it seems the battery dies faster in this situation. I assume it's because the watch is looking for the phone. Anyone else experience this? Are there any settings to change to fix this?

Thanks.

Yes, my Series 2 drains faster if it's not connected to iPhone. I put the watch in Airplane mode to save battery when it's not near the iPhone. It lasts much longer. You should try that.
