I run several times a week using the Workout App, always the first thing in the morning. I have noticed a pretty drastic change for the worse in battery life with WOS3.1. At first I thought it was some other App, but the battery drain happens consistently on my run days.

On the days I run, my Watch drains down to about 80% during my phone-less run. Since WOS3.1, it is down to 10% by the end of the day. If I do not run, like today, it will be at 60-70% at the end of the day. If I take the weekend off from running, I can easily go two full days without charging. The 50-60% additional battery drain only happens "after" I run.

The rest of my days activities do not change that drastically between my running and non-running days. Recently, I have been charging it every night while trying to determine the issue.

Does anyone have a guess as why using the Workout App in the morning will cause the Watch to use more battery for the remainder of the day and then, go back to "normal" after charging?
