I finished the update a few hours ago and I noticed that the discharge rate is much more significant since the update, both while using and on standby.

I don't usually complain about battery life unless it's truly an issue. I wanna see if anyone else has this issue, so I can determine if I should wipe it and restore from backup.

Thanks for any useful feedback!
 
No difference at all regarding battery life after update (mind you, it is only one day).

Usually get two days use with about 20% remaining at the end of it. That said, I normally charge it every night (unless I go away and forget the charger).
 
Seems about the same so far here. I usually charge every day at lunch with 20-30% left and right now this morning I have 46% after updating yesterday at lunch.
 
Alright, I'll restore my Apple Watch and see if it's better.

Thanks!
 
We frequently hear from members complaining about the battery tanking after every single update, but most of them usually resolve after a few days or after unpairing/re-pairing.
