Hi
Apple Watch requires up to 2.5 hours for a full charge. If the battery has fallen to a very low charge level, it may benefit from initially being charged for longer.
Depending on your daily usage, it can then be normal for your watch to require nightly charging.
Battery life varies depending on use and other factors.
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:
The watch uses Lithium-ion batteries, which can be charged whenever you want. (There is no need to let the battery discharge fully first, nor any benefit to be gained from this).
For the best performance from your watch (including the most power-efficient communication with your iPhone), keep both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth permanently enabled on your iPhone.
When charging your watch, follow the instructions here:
