I have an S0. Since new (2+ years), I've had to charge it every day. On days with a lot of Exercise app, it won't make it through the day. 4.2.2 did not seem to make a difference one way or the other.
Once a day is normal, I wouldn't call it bad. Wear it during waking hours then charge it overnight. There are things that you can do to eek out some extra life (Google is your friend), but in general, a day's use is all it was ever meant to give. Yes, exercise tracking (with the heart monitor on) will kill it. If you do a lot of exercising, either turn off the built in heart monitor during activity (see watch settings) or get an external blue tooth heart monitor to extend the watch's battery life.
I have the S1 and so far, it hasn't changed much one way or the other. I typically start my day around 5:30AM, workout for about 45 minutes during lunch using the exercise app and heart monitoring on the watch and end my day around 10PM on average and will have around 45% life left on the watch.
but my watch was so reliable on watchOS 3 that I had to charge it once in 2-3 days!!

That's quite good then!!
I've noticed a significant battery hit since upgrading to WatchOS 4, keep hoping they'll fix it but it doesn't appear so (yet, at least).
