WatchOS 11.3 battery runs out quickly

Since the recent update I notice a high battery drain that lasts less than usual. Does this happen to others? Thanks :-)

Did you already try to force restart your Apple Watch and iPhone after the update?

Force restart iPhone - Apple Support

To force restart your watch, press and hold the Digital Crown and the Side button together for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again.


In general, the first couple of days the watch may use a bit more battery life than usual, there are still some background activities going on during that time.
