Apple Watch Battery Drain and WatchOS 7.5

Is anyone else having a rapid battery drain with WatchOS 7.5? I have had this issue in the past where Apple updates the WatchOS software and my 9-month old Series 6 starts losing battery life at a rapid pace. I had it in the fall last year with WatchOS 7.0 and again with one of the intermediate releases. Both times the issue was fixed by another patch, but I'm getting tired of upgrading to the latest OS only to see my battery life plummet (I'm at 48% right now after only having the watch on for 5 hours).


Does Apple not include battery life in its beta testing? This is fairly ridiculous.

If the battery drains too fast after an update, see all the replies to:

FWIW, in some cases, unpairing the watch, completely erasing it, then pairing and restoring the backup will resolve the battery draining issue after an update. Also, some people have found that simply waiting a few days after an update resolves the battery draining problem.
