Since installing watchOS 7.3 my battery life seems to be drastically reduced. I normally only had to charge it once at night. But now I have to charge it multiple times a day.
Is there a fix for this? Or is this a one off and I should get the watch replaced?
Anyone else having this issue? I have changed nothing between updates.

After any IOS or OS update I find that a few forced restarts both your iPhone and your watch are needed.
First try force restarting your iPhone by whatever method your version calls for. As soon as you see the Apple logo force restart your watch by holding in the crown and side button for 10 seconds till you see the Apple logo then release. Log into your iPhone and wait for your watch to boot, then log into it.
Thy this once or three times, failing that I'd try unpairing the watch from your iPhone then pairing it back setting it up as new

Thank you so much! This worked very nicely. I did the restart process as described and it worked beautifully!
