Sorry, I ought to have been more specific. To demonstrate the voice issue
as that is clearly access related.

I was Kinda surprised by that too, Brad, and they didn???t say. The only
reason I can imagine is that the two issues started at the same time, so it
does seem like there???s a possibility that they are related.
Best,

Why would they tell you to call Accessibility to discuss the battery issue.
I don???t see how this could have anything to do with accessibility.
This seems like a blow-off move.

I heard back from Apple. They are looking into the Samantha issue. They???ve
suggested I call accessibility to discuss the battery issue. I will do that
when time permits.

Mine is using Samantha right now, and I absolutely can???t get it to change
back, no matter what I do. That voice really grates on me. She sounds like
she has been out drinking and smoking all night and has a bad hangover. Lol

I just saw that language switch thing yesterday. I had never seen it before. In
my case, I have Samantha set, but then it sometimes just switches to Russian,
which I also have. But I don???t want it except if I???m trying to read
Russian, which I don???t usually do on the watch.

Hi!
Yes I have that Samantha thing happening too and I am using Swedish Alva.
It takes time to switch her back to Swedish and stop her from speaking Swedish
with the Samantha Voice.
So write to the accessibility team and I will give them feedback as I am a beta
tester.
Bless.

Oh, and one more weird thing. This one happens during the day, when not in
sleep mode. My watch keeps switching back to Samantha. Currently, I am unable
to get it back to Siri voice 4, my usual voice.
Thanks,
Donna

Hi Gabe,
Thanks for the suggestion. I???ve tried that, with no change. In fact, the
problem is getting worse. Last night when I went to bed at ten, it was at
100%. When I woke up at 3:30 this morning, it was down to 56%. But it???s
definitely related to sleep mode. When I get up, I force power off the watch,
and when it comes back up with sleep mode off, the battery behaves normally.
Cheers,
Donna

Hi,
I'd also double tap the side button to bring up the app switcher and close any
apps that appear like they might be battery drainers. Heck, if your battery is
draining that fast it might be worth closing all apps and then restarting your
watch again

Try restarting your watch, and see if that helps.

Hi all,
For the past three days, I???ve been waking up to find that my Apple Watch
battery is severely drained. When I went to bed last night, it was at 100%,
and when I woke up this morning, it was at 56%. Before this week, it would
generally be right around 92% when I woke up. The other thing that seems
strange, is that when I went to take it out of sleep mode, there appeared to be
some kind of count-down timer running. Anyone have any idea what could be
going on?
TIA,
Donna
