Anyone else notice a lot more battery drain on their iwatch since beta 6 and up?
I normally am 82% charge left by 5 pm daily and now it's 66 % at 5 pm for me!

Yes, went from 80 down to 28 today having barely touched it. Series 8 watch, cellular but near my phone most of the day. Battery graph just shows a constant drop from 7am this morning when I pulled it off of the charger.

Latest dev beta on my S8 watch. So far best battery life. Even with 87% battery life. I can get 24 hours with light use.

I have a series 7 watch----when OS10 came out I started losing battery, I would be at 50% by the end of the day. Now, I'm between 11%-21% by the end of the day---it's been happening since the beginning of the year and getting worse each time. I have reset, wiped as new, etc---works good for a few days then back to losing 80% in 14 hours. Long gone are the days when I was 76% at the end of the day with my watch. I wish they would fix this as just about everyone I know with an apple watch says the same thing regardless of their OS.
