Hi, since the update to 7.5 my watch is experiencing fast battery drain. I have powered off my watch and phone and also un paired my watch, then repaired my watch. From a fully charged state of 100% at 7am my watch is at 63% now at 8:24am I haven't done anything except wear it around the house this morning while I work at my computer. Any idea on what's going on?

That sounds a bit extreme...some app or process is clearly burning a lot of extra cycles there.
Try turning Siri off if you are not really using it, does that make any difference?
Then it could be interesting to see which apps were most active on iPhone at that same time, especially if they are syncing frequently with the watch too. There is a lot more battery detail provided for the iPhone, under Settings > Battery.

Just this week this exact same issue started for my husband (Apple Watch 5, OS 7.5) and for me (Apple Watch 3, OS 7.5). What's weird is we've been on OS 7.5 for awhile now, and this only started this week. But it seems to be getting worse every day. I put my watch on this morning at 6am with 100% battery and it's now 10am and I'm below 50% battery. What in the world is going on?
Ok I just turned Siri off on the watch and I checked the activity by app on iphone battery. On the iphone wallet was using 30%, Safari 22% and reddit was using 20%. I'm at 35% battery on the watch now at 10:15am so I will see if it improves the life through out the day with siri off.
so for the next time frame its 11:52am and I have gone from 35%-28% battery life. A much better burn then this morning when i used 37% in roughly the same time frame. Thank you for your recommendation!
Weird... my husband is seeing Wallet taking over 30% of his battery on his iPhone as well. I am not seeing that. But my Watch doesn't seem to be draining as fast as his right now. He had already turned off Siri... it doesn't seem to change anything.
Yes your issue sounds similar to mine.
Yes it is pretty difficult to really nail this down with high certainty. It would be nice if we had similar more detailed battery usage and consumption feature available on the watch as well.
