Apple Watch 8 battery Drain

I have an Apple Watch 8 and until updated it I would charge it maybe every other day. Today, after updating to 10.1 my battery lasted maybe 8 hours. Does anyone know how to roll back to the previous software?

Apple Watch 9 - WatchOS 10.4 Battery Drain Since updating my Apple Watch 9 with WatchOS 10.4 the battery has been awful. Before the update I was getting 2 full days of battery even with gym workouts on both days, now I'm having to charge my watch every night. It's like being back to having an Apple Watch 3. Are there plans to get this sorted? clearly something in the software is taking a lot more power.

Battery drain Watch 9.3.1 I WANT MY BATTERY LIFE BACK!! After updating to 9.3.1, my Apple Watch 7 battery drains in a couple hours with no apps open and no use. It has been on the charger for a total of 4.5 hours today and needs charging again now, having been charged to 100% again just 2 hours ago. A reset made no difference. COME ON, APPLE! FIX THIS. FAST!!!

All Apple updates require a certain added strain on the battery for a short while. The device, for example, goes through some re-indexing. Allow a day or two for battery use to return to normal.
