Battery Draining After WatchOS 9.2 Update

I ran the update to WatchOS 9.2 last evening (Model MWWQ2LL/A), and today it he battery is draining incredibly fast. To put it in perspective, between 5:00 and 5:30 each morning I put on my watch and take it off between 9:00 and 10:00 in the evening, and normally the percentage on my battery is no less than 30%. Today by 9:00 am my battery was at 10%. I charged it fully, removed it at about 11:00, and after less than 2 hours it is down to 72% already. Is there anything I need to do after the update that will fix this?

I tried all the above suggestions such as resetting the watch and my iPhone – nothing worked. I was surprised to find that I could talk to someone at apple here in the UK with it being New Year’s Eve but I managed to (UK 0800 107 6285). This lady asked if I had reset my watch using a backup which I had. She suggested resetting it from scratch on my iPhone as if it was a new watch. I did and SUCCESS!

Your suggestion seems to have done the trick. After charging overnight my watch is only down to 90% after over four hours. Thank you so much for your help.
