Apple Watch battery draining fast after 6.2.1 update

Since update 6.2.1 my iwatch 5 battery is draining very quickly within 2 minutes it has gone from 100% to 97%, then 97% to 92% within 5 minutes.


You can actually sit and watch the % go down like some ticking timer.


Apple needs to sort this out quickly as the watch is dead within about 3 hours. The watch is rendered useless.


No new apps added or changes made to the phone only the update.


Anyone found this issue since the update?

click on iwatch app on iPhone.

once open click your iwatch, in my case Neils Apple Watch.


Then Tap the little i to the right of the displayed watch face.


then tap unpair iwatch.


then on your iwatch go into settings, general, reset, erase all content but remember to keep celluar settings when prompted. Once erased just reconnect to iPhone and restore from back up
