Watch 3 battery suddenly draining very fast after OS8 update
Since the recent update of my phone (iPhone 11) to iOS15 and my Watch series 3 (cellular but no service activated) my watch is running out of battery by late afternoon.
Previous to updates, the battery would be at ~45% at the end of the day (22:00) but now it is down below 20% before 17:00.
I am also noticing increase in battery usage on the phone, but nowhere as severe.
Is this a known problem, possibly relayed to OS8 or iOS15 or both?
I know watch series 3 is old, but it still being sold by Apple and is supported using OS8.
