Yeah, unfortunately 10.1.1 was the worst battery life of any 10 release so far for my series 7, and the 10.2 betas have only been marginally better. It really doesn’t seem like Apple know how to fix the underlying issue at this point.

Yes, Apple is only working on damage control and the users who have paid so much money for the products have to only deal with their mediocrity and just compromise and express their frustration on online forums.
I’m having similar issues. I went from a watch battery that lasted an entire day without any issues to one that gives me a low battery message at 3 PM.
One thing that seems obvious to me but I haven’t seen others mention it— Watch OS 10.1.1 makes the screen too bright, even at the lowest display brightness. Backgrounds seem illuminated where they weren’t previously. It’s no wonder that the battery gives out after 7 hours of use. My battery “health” is listed at 84% which tells me there’s a real issue with the software. How long will it take Apple to fix this? The issue has been reported since the original Watch OS 10 release in Septeber
Just happened to me after updating a few days ago. I was on the phone with a tech supervisor for well over an hour doing all sorts or analytics and tests. The last one actually wouldn’t run and we had to call it quits. I went from only charging every other day to less than 10% in less than 12 hrs. Unreal! I’m supposed to get a call back tomorrow to try to run the test again.
