Battery Draining

I have an Apple Watch Series 5 running the latest software (6.0.1 as of this post). I was very excited about the always on display, but after having it on for 4-5 hours, the watch has 0% left. I do not use the always on display anymore, and it is much better. Any ideas why the battery is draining so fast?

Apple Watch Series 5 battery draining fast I just got an apple watch and I have been having some troubles with its battery life. I will put it on charge before I go to bed and I wake up to it fully charged. It will last around 95% for 2 hours before it starts to drop dramatically. By 3pm it will be flat. I'm not sure why this is, I've tried turning off notifications and background app refresh etc. I have also turned off the always on retina display but nothing seems to make it last a full school day. Any ideas on how to make it last?

battery drain too fast I have the Apple Watch Series 4 with (44 mm display) and watchOS 6.1.2 installed recently. After the update, the watch began to actively drain its battery. Within an one hour, the charge decreased from 95 to 65 percent (without active trainings enabled). I think it's not normal. Does anyone have a similar problem?

Apple Watch Battery Life My series 6, had since a week after release date, so around 2.5 years old, seems to be draining the battery a lot quicker than it ever did, since recent update. Was on 95% 5 hours ago, hasn’t been used for any workouts today, or anything, but is now on 40%. Battery health shows 85% too. Any ideas how to sort the battery drain or work out what’s suddenly causing it? Thanks

Is it just that the battery life lasts that long?
