Hi
Depending on your daily usage, it can be normal for your watch to require nightly charging.
In tests, for example, Apple achieved 18 hours of battery life with the following usage: 90 time checks, 90 notifications, 45 minutes of app use and a 30-minute workout with music playback from Apple Watch via Bluetooth. Other examples of battery life under different usage are available here:

If your watch is experiencing shorter battery life than Apple's examples suggest you should expect, try the following steps, which have helped to resolve battery life issues for some users:
- Try restarting both your iPhone and watch. Turn both devices off together, then restart your iPhone first:
- If that does not help, next try unpairing and re-pairing your watch:
- The Watch app on your iPhone takes a backup of your watch automatically when unpairing via the app. When setting it up again, choose to Restore from Backup. Most data and settings will be restored, with some exceptions (eg Apple Pay cards, passcode).
- Unpair your Apple Watch and iPhone - Apple Support
- Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support
- For the best performance from your watch, keep both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth permanently enabled on your iPhone.
