Series 5 battery drain
Is there a way for the watch to stop searching for my phone all day while at work because I believe that is making my battery drain out in 8 hours. I can not have my phone with me at work

“Battery life” is the amount of time your device runs before it needs to be recharged. “Battery lifespan” is the amount of time your battery lasts until it needs to be replaced. Maximize both and you’ll get the most out of your Apple devices, no matter which ones you own. See the "Tips for Apple Watch" section in:
