Apple Watch battery lasting around 10 hours – is this normal?

I have an Apple Watch Series 5 (cellular) which is about two months old. Since going back to work I’ve noticed that the battery is not always remaining charged for a full day as it was when I was on holiday - The past couple of days it has lasted about nine or 10 hours. When I am at work I am not always able to have my phone with me and so it is not always connected to my phone and it uses my data instead. I’m just wondering if this is the reason the battery seems to be draining faster?

Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 6

If you also own a Mac, there seems to be a bug in connection with iCloud surrounding the ‘TrustedPeersHelper’ process. Check once your activity monitor on your Mac and see if there’s such a process popping up. Also check your watch’s diagnostic logs (Watch App). If yes, I have a solution over at:
