Lol. I would sit and cry. Update, seems to be working now.
Just got off the phone with a Sr Apple Watch advisor and she confirmed there's abug with this as well as Meridien and most likely others. Initially I was advised by another advisor to unpair, reset, etc and then try again. Didn't work.
Super buggy experience running Runkeeper. Went on a 45km bike ride today, thing crashed on me two times and I lost the data each time. Thankful for any patches provided! For iOS13, WatchOS, and RK!
I have an issue where my active calories are counted correctly until around 6pm (or about 900 calories burned) and then it resets to around 600 calories. That being said, anyone who has my calorie count shared on their watch sees my accurate, higher calorie total. Hoping this is what they mean by calibration issue. Found someone on Reddit with the same problem.

yes, when I get done with a workout, this happens to me. I quit the workout app and it stays on. I never waited long to see if it would turn off, I just restarted the watch. I’m hoping Apple will fix this one soon.
I think it's a waking up issue in Theatre Mode. I noticed if I tap it once and wait a few seconds, the screen eventually turns on. Definitely needs to be addressed.
I don't know about 6.0.1, but the issue appears to be fixed in the 6.1 beta. I installed the 6.1 beta because that bug was driving me crazy, and I haven't seen it since updating last week. (I had seen the bug occasionally in early 6.0 betas, but it seemed more common in the GM/release build.)
I installed watchOS 6.0.1 directly on my Watch, without my phone involved (well, actually, it asked me to accept the new ToS on my iPhone). Went by pretty quickly, seems to work fine.
That sucks... First world problem of course, but still. Apparently the HomePod shortcut issue got resolved with today's iOS 13.1.2 update.
for which watch ? My aw4 battery life went back to normal (and is even a bit longer than before ) once I deactivated the noise measurements. Try it if you have an aw4 or earlier.
Not doubting your experience at all, but as another data point, I have the noise complication on my 44 mm Apple Watch 4, and other than the first day, my battery life is about the same. Maybe a little worse, like 5% at most. Ended the day yesterday with a little over 50% left.

I think this is because Apple calculates how long your heart rate takes to return to normal. This is supposedly an indicator of how fit you are.
Bingo. Apple Watch measures HRR, and takes about three minutes to do so, beginning when you End the workout. So apparently this is normal behavior, and not any reason to restart the watch nor something to be fixed.

Update: literally just had this issue again after updating last night. So it’s not fixed in this version
thanks for the info. This seemEd like new behavior from the watch; it was something I never noticed before.
The noise app was the killer. Disabled until 6.1 and now the battery runs fine.
This looks like a battery issue. I wonder if Apple implements the same battery management that they have on iPhones.
$29 replacement soon?
I presume you are writing about the S5.....I guess I'll stick to my good old S4...the battery seems to last forever
