WatchOs 6.2.6 Draining Battery

After upgrading to a version of watchOs 6.2.6, my 40mm 4 series apple watch is already running late and does not reach 6 hours ... Before version 6.2.5 for 2 days, as settings No changes have been made, no apps was installed the most !! Have I done the procedure to restore the Apple watch and open as new without starting the backup and continue to drain the battery further ??? Do you want a note of clarification about the software you are making available, this is making my Apple watch so useless!?

I am having the same problem and have tried a number of suggestions and they have failed. I believe it's a software issue and hope they are working on a patch.

Both me and wife had the same issue I have the 44mm newest Apple Watch and once I got 6.2.6 my battery life barely made it through the day. I hope they fix it with 6.2.8

I ended up contact Apple support directly and they suggested completely resetting Apple Watch. Seems like it’s back to normal now. I get about 36 hours battery life

The fix for me.. was reseting the watch to factory... and did NOT restore from backup. Pain to set everything up again.. but now back to regular battery life.
