I have the series 5 with cellular. After updating my watch it will not make it thru a full day. Is anybody else having this problem? Or can you give me some tip on how to improve my battery life. I use to go two days before I have to charge.

Hi,
Sorry to hear you are having issues.
As for me personally, I’m using an AWS4 running watchOS 9, and haven’t had any issues with battery runtime, and the max capacity % for my battery actually requires service. But I have seen no change with the battery life with updating watchOS.
That being said, you might need to confirm your battery health on your watch by going to Settings > Battery > Battery Health.
Note: If your Apple Watch requires battery service, you can confirm that here, and you are also provided with available service options.
Next, I would confirm if you have Optimized Battery Charging enabled. It’s usually enabled by default, so try disabling it and seeing if that resolves your issue.
If you are still having issues, you can try enabling Low Power mode on your Apple Watch, as it was introduced with watchOS 9 to help maximize battery life.
The following resources should be able to further assist:
Also, the charging time has increased big time too. Used to be a bit more than an hour, post upgradd it takes at least 3 hours.
I think they do this on purpose, so we buy a newer watch. So annoyed
The same problem with Apple Watch 5
since the 9.02 update
My wife and I have the same issue. Both series 5 watches can’t make it through the day immediately following the update.
Maybe Apple will send out an update to fix our battery life.
