Ever since watch update the other night, my battery is running down very rapidly & I am constantly losing connection to phone. Despite being all of 3 to 15 feet away from it. Watch 5 Pro. Utter hunk of junk for past several months & new update has made it substantially worse. Are there any fixes for this?

      Oof 😭 that sounds frustrating. A Watch 5 Pro losing connection while it’s literally 3–15 feet away is wild 💀. And the battery drain getting worse right after the update makes it even more annoying. Hopefully there’s a fix or another update coming soon. 👀⌚

      Have you tried restarting both the Watch and your phone after the update? 👀 You could also check Galaxy Wearable → Watch settings → Apps/Connections and make sure everything is updated.

      If the battery drain and connection issues started immediately after the update, it might be worth clearing the Watch’s cache or reporting it through Samsung Members. Hopefully it’s just a software bug and not the watch itself. 🙏🏾⌚
