My Watch Ultra was working just fine battery wise (except when Samsung interferes and turn my Wifi on by itself for No Reason, causing fast battery draining if the Wifi doesn't connect).

However recently the battery is draining with below min usage and wifi not turning on. It looks like the worst part is happening during sleeping.

Any one having same problem?

One UI 8

Sys ver 16

Wear OS 6

Hi @IyadJabbour, thank you for reaching out to the Samsung Community. It can definitely be frustrating when things change after an update, and we would be more than happy to help.

There are a few things we need to know first:

Have you run diagnostics on your device?

When was the latest update installed? Sometimes after an update, the device needs time to relearn your usage patterns, which can cause increased battery drain for a few days.

Have you made sure all of your apps are fully updated?

Do you have any health trackers or features enabled that you are not actively using? If so, try turning those off and see if it improves battery life.

We look forward to hearing back to be able to further assist.
