WatchOS 5.0.1 battery drain

I've had my watch on for approximately two hours today and the battery has drained from 100% to 63% under normal wearing conditions. I updated the OS to version 5.0.1 last night and the watch has been on the charger ever since. As with most OS updates, I shut the watch off and back on as a secondary "reset". The battery was lasting at least two full days - often three - under 5.0.0 and earlier. I'm chalking it up to be something fishy regarding the 5.0.1 update.
