The latest update drains the battery of my Apple Watch 4 extremely quickly. Starting with a dull full charge in the morning, it drained to 10% by 4pm while working in front of a computer all day.
Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 6
Same for me !
I switched OFF my watch yesterday noon and turned it ON again.
After 10 hours, I only lost ... 26%.
Problem is then solved, but I do not know what the solution is ?
Have a nice and happy day.

I turned the watch off, waited few minutes then turned it back on and that seems to help. It’s almost 4pm and the battery is at 76%. Much improved. I will continue to monitor.
I am having this issue too, it literally takes 8-9 % every hour! It only drains the battery when the watch is connected to the phone.
The same happened after the last update 6.2.5. , I waited for several days as advised, didn’t helped, I've restarted both the phone and the watch.. didn’t help, Unpaired the watch... didn’t help, reset the phone‘s network settings and paired the watch again... didn’t help either and then I played with the airplane mode and switching off the Bluetooth, and that worked, so after about a week after the update my watch was back to normal 2 days of battery life.
Then 6.2.6 Update came. At first I was reluctant to update and when my partner updated and after a day or so his watch battery life was back to normal, I decided to update mine too. Big mistake!
it’s nearly a week and I need to charge my watch twice a day.
I would appreciate any advice.
Apple Watch 5 - OSWatch 6.2.6
Battery draining very fast - since 6.2.6
Battery status displays : 100%
I can't trust my watch anymore

Not sure if Apple fixed something but I charged my watch this morning 100% and now after 12 hrs I still have 66% left , much improved.
6.2.6 drains battery life very quickly
