Hello @userwnYhtTkbGp, thanks for reaching out to the Samsung Community. A quickly draining battery can certainly be frustrating, and I would love to provide some assistance for you. First thing I do want to mention, after an update your watch's software will have to relearn routines and the battery can drain faster, but it will catch back up within a few days.
But as for things you can try to help the battery I have some troubleshooting steps.
First I would suggest running diagnostics on the device to make sure everything is running the way it should. You can do this by opening the Members App> Discover Tab>Diagnostics>Under Connected device diagnostics section tap on Watch Diagnostics.
Next, since you said this happened after the update, make sure all the apps on the watch are updated too.
Turn off any unused health trackers like Sleep, Heart Rate or even Stress these can help preserver the life of your battery throughout the day.
Turn Off Watch always on by going into Settings> Display> then toggle the Always on Display off. Depending on your watch, you may need to tap Watch faces, Watch Aways On, and then tap the switch to turn off the feature.
It is quickly becoming summer so keep in mind that extreme temperatures can also cause the battery to drain quicker as well.
I have an article with a few other things you can try if you would like, and I will link it below.
Mines draining 1% basically every 2 minutes . Talked to Samsung for over an hour. Their fix is to basically turn off all its features. They didnt want to help with anything so I started a class action lawsuit
