Watch Series 3 battery draining fast after 7.3 update, need to go back to previous os

Is there a way to revert the watch os to the previous version? I don't want to wait for a fix that may take months to arrive.

No. on any Apple device, once you update there is no going back.


To understand Apple Watch performance and its relation to your battery, see:

“Battery life” is the amount of time your device runs before it needs to be recharged. “Battery lifespan” is the amount of time your battery lasts until it needs to be replaced. Maximize both and you’ll get the most out of your Apple devices, no matter which ones you own. See the "Tips for Apple Watch" section in:
