Latest watch update effectively makes watches useless (alien.top)

Apple's latest watch update has effectively made useless many versions of their watch from SE to the latest generations, mine included. The issue includes lightning fast battery drain & overheating while charging. This is a outrageous & no word nor fixes provided. Mine will not charge without being off. Otherwise it either charges enough to stay at a low amount or just overheats. I have a Series 6 that used to last all day and now barely two hours of not even using it (just being on my arm). I have several other watches from them I am keeping offline to avoid this fiasco.

I can add my wife's latest Series 9 was partially affected but appears fine for now, also I have read a lot of other user's some of which have the Ultra who are affected. It doesn't seem to be everybody but it sure is a lot of people and models. I do not want to test it on my other older watch models and mess those up (not all can be updated to this version but anyhow).
