My Apple Watch battery has been draining quite fast since this latest update. I have turned of and back on, I have even reseted it. With how long the battery lasts there really isn’t any point in wearing it. Please help.
Lots and lots of people are experiencing this.

I am one of them. No workarounds seem to be working sadly.
just have to wait for another update to fix it. ☹️
I did read that third party apps were at least part of the problem. I took mine back to what my watch came with. It helped. I might gradually add some apps back, but will make sure they are only apps I need.
Apologies I mean to update this thread. I’m confident it’s MobyFace. I uninstalled that and instantly battery was back to normal. I’m now back to a day and a half battery life on my S8. It’s been fine since with all other 3rd party apps installed.
Was just contacted by Apple support also to provide information about the issues and resolution. He confirmed it was likely to be MobyFace.
The app that I seen mentioned most frequently here as being the trouble maker, is Moby Face. If you have that particular app, it may be worth uninstalling.
Saw that too, but pulled all for now. Will gradually add some back in, just wanted to make sure there isn’t another one causing problems as well.
Short battery life
