Google confirms: Fix is in the works for Pixel Watch extreme battery drain issue
Google says the issue only affects "a small number" of Pixel Watch owners.
Owners of Google Pixel Watch have been voicing concerns over a sudden and drastic drop in battery life. The issue appears to be widespread, affecting multiple generations of the device. Rather than being a hardware failure, it seems to stem from a software problem. Google has now confirmed that they are aware of the issue and are actively working on a solution.
While smartwatches offer a multitude of features, their utility is significantly impacted if the battery dies before one can take advantage of these capabilities. The situation becomes even more problematic when the device begins experiencing unexpected battery drain. Reports from Pixel Watch 2 owners to those with the latest generation models indicate that the watches are losing battery life at an alarming rate - from the usual day or two of use down to just 12 hours.
The issue is particularly troublesome when the watch is not in use, as disabling the Always-on Display didn't appear to have a significant effect.
