watchOS and Apple Watch Apps

Hi
I have Apple Watch 5. I noticed that after updating to watchOS 9.0 the battery is draining faster. Previously my watch lasted all day but now I need to charge it at least twice a day. Has everyone else experienced this?
Thanks

HI. a watch unpair and re-pair fixes this. tbh unpairing and repairing the watch after an update cleans a lot of things up. it wouldn't hurt to do this after every watch os update.

No issues regarding charging once a day. However I do see it going down fast. I charge my watch at 6:00 AM and it use to be close to 70% but now is always 60%. I use the fast charger so only takes close to 50 minutes.

Thank you. Unpairing and re-pairing the watch indeed fixed the issue.
