Upgraded OS is using more battery power

Yesterday I installed the OS update on my Gear Sport and now I've noticed a significant battery drain compared to before the upgrade. Anyone else notice this?

I have not. In fact, my gear sport has better battery.

Must have been a glitch with one of my installed apps that caused the battery drain. I updated 3 apps on my watch and rebooted it, and now it's running better. After 24 hours of use, the battery percentage went from 100% to 79% which is great IMO.

Mine is using more battery, but likely that some or all of that is because I've been using the watch more to look at the new features and check the settings. It is not a major increase (maybe 5% more in a day) and I expect it to revert back to usual battery life in a day or two.
