WatchOS 10.1 battery drain issue
My Series 8 watch upgrade to WatchOS 10.1 this morning and now my watch battery drains in 2 hours or so. What is the fix for this?

Mine too.

If the battery drains too fast after an update, see all the replies to:
Battery Drain since watchos 7.4 - Apple Community
WatchOS 7.5 battery drain - Apple Community
FWIW, in some cases, unpairing the watch, completely erasing it, then pairing and restoring the backup will resolve the battery draining issue after an update. (Simply unpairing and pairing again may not work.)
Unpair and erase your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Also, some people have found that simply waiting a few days after an update resolves the battery draining problem.

Update 10.1.1 didn’t work on my series 7 watch. It battery barely last 18 hours. I reset and repaired the watch last night and it looks like it didn’t help that much.
Battery drain is not the only problem. I can no longer switch between watch faces! And the timer has issues - there is no verbal acknowledgement by Siri that the timer is set.
Experiencing the same thing here, my running activities are just screwed up, this is crap, need an immediate fix
Thanks, that worked! (But it should not have changed).
Cool fix, but I've never had "always on" and it still drains pretty fast. Hoping there is something else I can do with my lowly SE.
I'm having same problem on my SE watch. Coincident with last big iOS update for me, as best I can tell.
