I recently did a software update on my watch and had to reset it to link it to my new iPhone. Ever since, my battery is draining so much faster…barely even getting a full day out of it. Prior to that, I had to charge like every other day or less. No real changes in routines. Any tips/recommendations for reducing this drain?

What is required is a forced restart of your Apple Watch. A forced restart is more than just turning your Watch off and on. Observe the battery usage for the next 24 to 72 hours. If there is no improvement you’ll need to unpair the Watch from your iPhone, force restart the Watch and the iPhone and lastly pair the two devices. Battery usage will return to normal in 24 to 72 hours.

The odds are a 3rd party app or complication is stuck syncing or having issues supporting the update. Try the above well known fix and you should be good in a few days.
