TL;DR<\/p>\n
Pixel Watch owners have been complaining about their battery life suddenly taking a nose dive.
\nMultiple generations of watches have been impacted, making this look like a software issue, rather than hardware failure.
\nGoogle now confirms that it\u2019s identified the problem, and is developing a fix.<\/p>\n
Smartwatches are great, but battery life continues to be a problem. Sure, they can do a lot, but what good is all that potential if there\u2019s no charge left when we go to use them? Things can be dicey enough when our watches are behaving as they should, but this week we learned about a new problem that seemed to be affecting Pixel Watch models<\/a>, dropping battery life from the normal day or two we\u2019re used to, down to just 12 hours. Thankfully, a fix is already in the works.<\/p>\n Multiple reports from owners spanning from the Pixel Watch 2 up to the current generation all shared similar tales: battery life diving even as the watches sat idle. Disabling the Always-on Display didn\u2019t seem to make much of an impact.<\/p>\n Some wrote that they saw the situation improve after a full device reset, but that didn\u2019t look like it was a universal solution \u2014 and definitely not one we\u2019d prefer. The good news is that Google is on the case.<\/p>\n
