Battery Issues

My watch just updated last night. Sitting tonight watching a movie it dropped from 50% to 33% over two hours doing nothing at all. Has anyone else been having battery issues recently like my example? Thanks in advance.

Have them from time to time (not really often), in my case a reboot usually fixes it. Another thing to try is resetting the sync data, which has also helped in the past.

Not uncommon after an update. A lot of times, it can take close to a day for the watch to get back to normal. At least that has been my experience.

Mine completely drained overnight after update

This is happening to me after the last update as well. Drained 40% in 4 hours at one point last night while sleeping.

I usually wait at least 24 hours before I judge. But Watch OS 7.5 did restore my battery life. Today so far:

Almost 7 hours in standby. Did an 1 hour Exercise (Workout) and currently at 81%.

By the end of the day after 16 to 17 hours probably still > 50% has it been earlier. With 7.4 at times I did get low battery warning by the end of the day an in average I ended the day in low 30%.
