Battery after update

Argh ... hopefully this is a temporary/isolated issue and they haven't wiped-out the gains from the previous version!
I think it is holding up a better after the reset. The battery did take a big hit doing the restore but it seems more stable.
Mine seems crippled or worse as well...HOWEVER I have noticed more consistent and better caloric reading throughout my normal daily routine and activities...so maybe this is why?
OP- have you noticed a difference in your activity ring readings, like do they seem higher than usual after the Watch OS 3.1.1?

I see no difference in the activity rings, and my battery is slightly better with 3.1.1. Forty minutes of exercise with a bluetooth strap attached and average use today and I'm sitting at 90% after 9 hours off the charger.
My is running for 40 hours with a 39%, I bought this watch on Black Friday, the battery is new.

Can't complain, I think I will not do another update anymore. I'm going to keep my watch with 3.1.1
I notice that I'm receiving more notifications than the previous version of watchOS, twitter did not work, now is working.
My watch is series 1.

Glad to know its not just me.. My S0 has died twice in midday.. The first time, I thought maybe I didn't get a secure connection on the charger the night before.. But today, it died at like 4 o'clock. Which is something that never happens. I'm generally dumbfounded if my watch battery ever says low power during the day.. I'm not really too sure what it is.. But, I'm going to monitor it pretty closely the next few days. Even going to put the battery power back on the watch face lol
Also on an S0 as well and after the Watch OS 3.1.1 my battery had taken a hit, but I was getting more consistent caloric readings throughout the day instead of sporadic like normal of that I was used to.
Today I decided to unpair and re-pair my Apple Watch and that seems to have improved my battery life. I set it up as a new Apple Watch rather than restoring from a backup. When arriving home tonight I'm at 62% since about 8:45am this morning, compared to last night being around 22%. I will continue to monitor tomorrow and the days coming.
That's a huge difference in battery from 62% from 22%. Perhaps the setting up as new was a key.
Thanks for that tip. Im just going to repair this morning before I get my day going. Won't take to long
If I do this and setup as new, I will lose all my data then correct?
I may try later just unpairing and re-pairing..
Also will just try rebooting the watch first.
