Watch Battery Performance Vastly Reduced after watch OS update

After recent Watch OS update I am getting about 7 hours time less than previous. Used to last 15+hours. Now only about 9 hours. Apple Watch 8 and not doing anything different with my daily routine.

After a few days of use, it should return to normal after the new operating system has finished its housekeeping tasks.


If not, try power cycling the Apple Watch and the iPhone.


If that does not help, then unpair the Apple Watch from the iPhone, and pair them together again.
