From my experience with so many Apple OS updates, I'd suggest you to stop doing so many things and let the Watch do the work for a while. After one or two days the battery drain will stop.
Here's what fixed it for me:
Disconnected and reconnect from your wifi network via iPhone. When I reconnected it pushed over to the watch and I was good to go. To test it I turned the bluetooth off on my phone and seen the cloud icon in glances.
Hope this helps
My watch battery died today hit 0% and I only wore it for 5 hours. I would usually be at 80-90% at this time. WTF?
I have noticed that Watch OS 2 can cause some issues when updated.
I had the same battery drain. Wipe your watch and re-pair it and it will work and be fine.
Apple really need to look at how they deliver watch os updated. I personally believe it should be direct over wifi on the watch and the phone should have nothing to do with it.
PSA: If you're having battery problems. Re-pair your watch and restore from backup.
I had this problem yesterday when upgrading from GM -> Public Release so I just re-paired and it's at 99% after wearing it for 3 hours now, so much better.

Not a notification but a feature! Use Digital Crown to travel back and forwards through the day. Spin the Crown and see what happens. Press to get back to current time.
It's actually a pretty useful feature. If you have something like the Weather complication or the Calendar complication, you can time travel to see what the weather will be like in the future, or what calendar events you might have next. This also works with some third party complications as well.
Anyone else have issues with almost no watch OS 2 apps working without crashing on 9.0.1? Parcel works but the rest are not
I find the OS overall to be very laggy. Theres a delay most of the time between pressing the button and having the watch react to it. Anyone else??
Not seeing this issue myself, I am finding the overall experience with os2 a lot better.
Strange, using it today was frustrating to say the least. Constant Siri mistakes and laggy UI.
I have to agree. I haven't experienced any speed improvements on the UI or apps opening quicker. I found it to lag more on some UI interactions. Also can anyone explain to us why watch os updates take too long to download ? I mean it's ok with iPhones when so many users update to the latest OS but the delay is even worse on watch os updates which doesn't have such huge install base. Sth is wrong with Apple servers and iCloud services in general. It's unacceptable for Apple not haven't figure it out yet. Maybe they should buy Google or Microsoft
Anyone having trouble re-syncing the "photo" watch face to the new picture you choose? I've got it set so that it picks the picture from my favourites folder (only one picture at a time), but it won't re-sync on the photo watch face, only the photo album watch face.
Anyone got any idea how to fix it?

What delay in updating? You do know that the phone has to download the update first then send it to the watch?I have to agree.

I make a new album every time I want to change the set of photos I use as a background and it works pretty seamlessly when I do it like that.
Hey guys I'm gonna buy an apple watch that already has watch os2 already installed on it. Will it pair with my 6s plus as is or will I have to reset as new?
