thewayneBoy, do I have a tale to tell!
Either the OS has something wrong or my battery decided to die a couple of weeks after my Apple Care expired.
I updated to 8.5 on Monday or Tuesday. My normal routine is to sleep with my watch so the vibrating alarm can wake me without disturbing Russet. Get up, put my watch on the charger for a top off. Get home from work, top off watch, exercise, go to bed.
Normally when I get home, the watch is around 50-70% charge. Today I get home, it is DEAD. Bone-cold ded. And I noticed no warning from it. So I charge it up to 100%. Five hours later, I'm getting ready for bed and I decide to top it off. I guess it's probably down around 80% at worse, based on experience.
It was at 41%.
Now, I have not done anything remotely unusual with my watch tonight. Taken no calls through it - it's not a cellular model, I haven't even done any exercise tonight.
(that's one cool thing about it: if it's in Bluetooth range of the phone, and you don't have your phone on you and you receive a call, you can answer calls on your watch! I've done it a couple of times)
So either my battery has completely failed, like I said about two weeks out of my extended warranty, or 8.5 has a serious bug!
I normally run two alarms, my get up in the morning and my get ready to leave work. I ran a 10 minute timer during the day, haven't used the stop watch in a while. Those, exercise, the EKG, and sometimes the pulse monitor are about I use it for.
Thus far, a cursory Google search doesn't show anyone posting about this being a bug with this Watch OS edition yet.
So something weird is going on. I'm going to be leaving for Phoenix Thursday morning for a couple of days, I might be able to squeeze in an Apple Store visit. I've got something else to talk to them about.
