I agree with you. My watch was getting 2 full days of battery life with normal use and not having to shut every app refresh off. If I wanted a basic watch, I have a dresser full. This last update needs tweaking. No matter all of the modifications to the settings, my battery is dead in less than 8 hours.
Or, there's something wrong with your watch. I'm finding I've gotten progressively better battery life with every iteration of watch OS 3. All of my thirty or so apps have background app refresh enabled. I don't know if my watch would have lasted two full days as I charge mine every night. However, I routinely have well over 50% batter left at the end of the day. I took my watch off the charge about 7 hours ago and the battery has dropped 3%.
Those replying with all of these suggestions need to fix the update and stop writing to people as if their normal use of the watch and it's settings are the cause.
