The following steps have helped to resolve issues with battery life for some users:
- Restart both your iPhone and watch:
- Turn both devices off together, then restart your iPhone first;
- To turn your watch off: press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider; drag it to turn off;
- To turn it back on: press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo.
- Unpair and re-pair 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
- Restart both your iPhone and watch:

Jul 7, 2016 8:11 AM in response to jrwill228by Jonathan UK,The following steps may also help:
- If you have not yet done so, update both your iPhone and watch to the latest software, starting with your iPhone:
- If you have used any third-party fitness tracking apps (such as Strava) to record workouts, check whether there is presently a paused activity within any of those apps.
- If there is, end the activity from within that app on your watch (not on your iPhone).
- For the best performance from your watch, keep both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth permanently enabled on your iPhone.
- Under earlier versions of iOS and watchOS, some users reported experiencing battery life issues in connection with using corporate profiles and/or Exchange Calendars. If you are using an Exchange Calendar, one or more of these steps may help:
- Archive your Exchange Calendar for all items before today.
- Remove / delete all old inbox messages relating to calendar invites (accept and decline notifications).
- Create a rule in your Outlook Mail account that moves all future accept and decline replies - immediately upon receipt - into a separate mail folder that does not sync with your iPhone and Apple Watch.
- Check your Exchange Calendar for errors.
- Remove all third-party apps from your watch and then monitor battery performance after adding them back, one by one.
- The same applies in respect of watch face complications.
