Just got an apple watch 7 41mm today. Overall love it. But ive heard that the battery is meant to last 18 hours?

It was 50% when i opened it, and it got to 20% in 6 hours (mind me that it was hardly used. On my wrist and glanced at with always on display.

Honestly that didnt really bug me, however i slapped it on charge until 80% and just saw it go from 70% to 66% in the matter of minutes.

BH is 97%, so it it just the case if watchOS 10 bugs? Will it get better?

    5 months old S8 with WatchOS 10.1.1 here. Battery health 100% and I’m experiencing massive battery drain in the past 3 days.

    I used to charge only in the morning from ~30% to 100%. Yesterday I had 20% left in the evening and recharged to 100%. Woke up with 45%. Recharged again to 100% and did a factory reset and restored from backup, lost 20% charge in two hour afterwards. I did another factory reset, this time without restoring from backup, still 10% drain per hour, even with always-on disabled, what worked like a charm until 3 days ago.
