Series 5 and Watch OS10… battery life cut in half

[Rychiar]

Anyone else with a series 5 see their battery life completely go to hell with the watch update? I know my battery is aging but I still would often have juice from 7am til midnight. after the update it was dying at 6pm

same, granted my battery health is getting pretty bad (77%) but before 10 it manageable, now I will be lucky to make it through a 9-5 work day.

guessing i will be forced into doing a battery replacement finally.
