Apple Watch 5 battery life with watch0S 7

Updated my Apple Watch to WatchOS 7 and the battery life has PLUNGED. Last night I did some troubleshooting and turned OFF the Battery Charging option. When that was turned ON I would get approximately 10-11 hrs of Watch life. Thinking that with it turned OFF my watch would charge to 100% (instead of the 93% with Battery Charging turned on) that I would regain some useable time. Today, after approximately 5 hours of the watch running I have gotten the ‘10% of power remaining’ alert. UGH!

Any suggestions as to how I can regain the useable time?

Responding to my own question, I unpaired the watch from my iPhone, and when I paired it again I did not do so from a backup. Subsequent to that, battery life is back to normal.
