I had been getting a little over 1 day of battery life with my Galaxy Watch Ultra 7 (T-Mobile); however, I installed the January `25 update earlier in the week and now I can't even get through an 8 hour workday with a full charge.

I haven't installed any other software on the watch.  Anyone else seeing their battery life go to **bleep**?

Wow that doesn't sound right I would factory reset your watch and start from scratch

Trying to avoid that if possible.  Will give it some time to see if there is a patch or some other fix.  Verizon is a pain when setting up a LTE watch.  Have to call almost every time.

Do you have the non-LTE watch version, or do you have LTE turned off?  I have disabled cellular support - can't even imagine how dismal my battery life would be if I turned it back on.  This update has, for me at least, ruined the watch.

I leave the house, for work, in the morning with it fully charged.  On my ride home it's switching to power save mode.  The update is 100% to blame, as nothing else has changed.

The Watch Ultra only comes in LTE.
I got rid of cellular plan for my watch. I switch watches frequently and Verizon is a pain to deal with swapping back and fou I am 78% off charger for 20hrs .

I also wear the Galaxy ring. That is 2 days in for that. I don't wear the watch to sleep anymore.
