Has anyone noticed that in Nightstand mode, the 'tap' to turn the screen on is way more sensitive after the update? Mine sits on table next to my desk on the far side corner and if I just tap anywhere on the table or even tap the end of my desk it turns on. Before the update I'd have to at least tap the watch stand itself with a mildly strong tap to turn it on.
Got a tip for us?

Yeah, sometimes I wonder if it's my imagination. There have always been bugs, but I do think they are worse now. Listening to tech podcasts, lots of Apple people seem to be saying the same thing. Maybe I'm less patient now that I develop iOS apps full time.
This update is AWESOME, it let my watch stays up to 3 days* with a single charge!!

Well since the update I seem to be the only person experiencing major battery drain issues now, cause I been googling and I don't see anyone else complaining about it. 
Issue isn't fixed. Set DND in a group iMessage in my phone, still constant notifications on my watch (causing me to keep the watch off for periods of time )

Not just you mate, this morning I'm two hours off the charger barely even looked at the thing and it's down to 74%. Did you find any fix?
My usage says I've been using it for an entire hour of that time, something is definitely up with OS 2.1.
Did you ever get a fix for your battery life drain? I'm wondering if Apple Music has something to do with it on 2.1.
Actually it did get better for me after a few cycles. I think after 2-3 days it was back to normal.
