My Apple Watch 5 battery draining after the watchOS 11.2 update?

Hello, I have a Apple Watch 5. Sense I updated to WatchOS 11.2 it kills my battery. It doesn't last longer then 12 hours. I turn off activity monitor because I read that kills it. I also restarted many times. Is there a better fix for this? It worked fine on 10. Apples slogan should be why are you still using us? I have a Iphone 13 that won't charge unless I use Qi charge. TVOS takes out simple thing like rebooting it with your remote. I really think I'm going to stop giving money for their service if you can call it that.

Thanks

You can let Apple know directly about your thoughts and report watchOS issues by using the Feedback link:

Feedback - Apple Watch - Apple

Apple does not follow these user to user communities and this is the only way to reach them.

Odd I thought I posted a reply. I must have not have. Any ways...

You're correct. Just looked at a face place that I bought for it, and it's a 7. Anyone have any advise for the new lets turn these features on and kill my battery. That then I can just turn off? I'm not going to buy a new watch just because Apple likes money. I never had any issues with any other WatchOS.

Figure this out myself. I just uninstalled a lot of apps, and turned off way too many notifications. I DO LOVE HOW IT WAS FINE ON THE PREVIOUS OS! Thanks Apple make the user do all the work!
