Steps not registering on walking pad

I want to say I love the new Apple Watch but something that is annoying me is the updated way it counts steps. In my last model, I could put my watch in my pocket when I’m on my walking pad at my desk (since no arm movement) and I would get steps counted.

However with this new watch, that does not work and even putting it on my ankle does not give credit for every step. I will have walked 3 miles and only gotten credit for like 1.

Does anyone else use this watch with a walking pad at their desk and figured out how to get credit for all steps??

Battery life craters on WatchOS 27 w/Watch 10?

Anyone having issues with battery life dropping significantly after upgrading to OS 27 on a Watch 10? I used to get 24-28 hours a day, now I get 12-14 hrs of life, usage hasn't changed. Battery health at 88%.

Apple so far is telling me I need to turn off features like Optimized Battery Charging, but it's going to 100%. And that I should turn off the always on screen....which used to be fine. Running 27.0.1.

Anyone else running into this? I did run the 27 consumer beta, but have upgraded to the final release version a couple of weeks ago, so shouldn't still be indexing.
