Apple Watch Ultra battery terrible after Watch OS 11 upgrade

My watch is under used and, until I upgraded 48 hours ago, my battery would only lose about 30% in a 24 hour period.

Following the upgrade to Watch OS11, I lost 60% in 24 hours and this was repeated on the second day.

Battery health says it’s at 93% but it feels like I need a new watch now. Lo and behold if I was to use the watch for directions or as it was designed.

Any help gratefully received.

Thank you.

I have an Apple Watch Ultra and it is excellent.

Before updating to OS 11, I only charged it every 36 hours at least.

Now the battery is terrible, and after the update it loses more than 50% in less than 6 hours.

I did not modify the settings or add any other applications and the same daily use.
