Apple Watch update 10.3 battery now lasted two hrs?

I updated my Apple Watch 7 gps yesterday. Them battery went down to 9% within a couple of hours. Had it on charge overnight and went to 39% after about 3 hrs charged 3 times today back on charge again now used to last a day and a half? Any clues as Its useless unless it lasts at least a day? Thanks

I had the same issue. It started about a week after installing 10.3. I was used to get about 48h on my Ultra and it dropped to less than 24 h. After closing all apps, I performed a soft reset (crown + button for a few seconds until the Apple logo appears) and removing all third party apps it is back to normal. I will now reinstall the third party apps one at a time to check if any of them causes the issue to come back. My guess is that one of the apps did not handle the update gracefully. I think we have all seen this before with iOS apps. Some of them will crash before they can start after OS updates. Hope this helps.
