Watch GT 3 | terrible battery life after harmonyOS 4 update

I used to get 8-9 days of battery life from this watch *easily*. Consistent 7% drain during the day, another 3-5% in the night. No sweat. It used to last so long that I often forgot that it even had a battery and ran out sometimes because I forgot to charge it.

Then suddenly after the update, it barely gets 2 days now. With the amount that drains in one night without even me wearing it and the watch doing absolutely nothing, I used to get two entire days.

This is so awful it isn't even planned obsolescence anymore, its forced obsolescence. Worse than apple.

Like do they think this'll end up with me buying another huawei watch or something? I'll just get a samsung. At least with them the 2 day battery life gets you almost a second entire smartphone on your wrist, so many more features. That and they don't brick your watch with an update after 2 years to sell you another one.
