In some Apple Watch Series 5, "Shutdown when the battery level reaches about 50 %" multiple reports

Some "Apple Watch Series 5" users have reported unexpectedly shutting down with sufficient battery levels.

Roughly summarized, it seems that the battery remaining display is strange.In most of the reported cases, the Apple Watch shows the remaining battery level of nearly 100 % for a long time, then drops to nearly 50 %, and then shuts down.Complaints have continued for multiple Watchos versions, recent Watchos 6.26 and 6.Some say that a problem has occurred after the 28 update.

For example, Macrumors reader TODD (WatchOS 6).2.8 Applied) also states that if the shutdown symptoms above are restarted, the same 53%battery level as before the restart will be displayed, and if it is not set in a charger, it will shut down again.

Another user reports that Apple Watch has shut down with a battery remaining 50 %, and then charged to 99 % in a short time, but could not be completely charged to 100 %.

In addition, the same complaint can be found in the Apple official support community.There is a 100 % display for about 4 to 9 hours after full charge.It is said that the remaining display starts to decrease, and when it reaches about 15 to 33 %, it suddenly shuts down without a warning of the battery level.

In addition, the overseas Apple Information Site IMORE reports the strange behavior of the remaining amount display (remaining 100 % for a long time) in April this year, and the problem has not been resolved for several months.Some users who complained of the symptoms have been resolved by having Apple exchange the main unit, but the other methods such as resetting, re -pairing, and deleting dials were ineffective.It is also delivered.

The trouble with the Apple Watch Series 5 battery has been reported immediately after the release, but at that time, the battery was unusually fast and was different from this symptom.

Even in the latest cases, there are cases where the battery display is strange and there is no shutdown suddenly, so it is not clear whether it is a problem on the WatchOS side at the time of writing, or an individual difference in hardware.I want to wait for Apple's response to the future.
