"This update includes improvements and bug fixes for your Apple Watch."

Owners that saw shorter battery runtime after watchOS 9.5 are hoping for a fix.
(The first page has links to Apple Watch battery troubleshooting/tips here & here.
Our page of Apple Guides/Tips/Troubleshooting also has an Apple Watch section.)
There's been threads in the past about battery drain after previous watchOS updates.
(Never owned a Watch, but wonder if like macOS updates, it's reindexing afterwards.
But if it's reindexing affecting runtime, the runtime reduction wouldn't be permanent.)
