Is anyone else experiencing battery drain from the recent update? I have a new watch and this recent update, in under an hour (53 minutes to be exact), had my battery go from 55% to 39%.

I am also having a major battery problem after the update. I need help from Apple. My watch went from over 80% one evening and powered off shortly after I woke up the next morning. I'm charging it for the 3rd time today.
Sent my Apple Watch Ultra into Apple. They replaced the watch, didn’t explain what the issue was. Was there & back in a week.
I did charge it to 100%. It’s been 16 minutes and it’s at 82%. I’ll let it drain to 50% and then power it down until I decide what to do with it.
The battery health has just decreased another 1% to 89%. If your watch battery is draining fast, you may want to monitor the battery health as well. I’m no longer going to power up my watch at all.
Saem for me! My series 4 batteries are draining at least 40% faster and can’t hold for the whole day of use as used to before this last update. Terrible!!!
same here
I applied watchOS 9.6 and iOS 16.6 about eight hours ago and at least so far the battery life appears to be much longer!
I spoke too soon. My watch was fully charged at 6:30 this morning and now it’s at 36%. So frustrating.
