Summary
Google said it is aware of a battery drain issue affecting a small number of Pixel Watch users and is working to roll out a fix as soon as possible.
Some affected watches that normally last 24 to 48 hours are now dying in under 12 hours, with owners reporting drops of about 20% every few hours even while idle.
Reports span newer models including Pixel Watch 2 and Pixel Watch 4, pointing to a software problem rather than aging batteries, though Google has not identified a cause.
Users have tried restarts, pending updates and full resets without restoring backups; the reset appears to help most, but many owners say they have seen no battery change at all.
