Iwatch won’t hold charge

All of a sudden my I watch will not hold a charge. It goes down to 0% in less than eight hours.

Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 6

When you say 'all of a sudden' that leads me to believe that you may have installed an app recently on your phone or watch that is very energy-intensive. Location services on a particular app may also be draining your battery.


My suggestion would be to uninstall or stop the 3rd-party apps you have been using recently and/or disable location services on them. Then see if there is improvement.


When I had a Watch Series 2, I noticed the running apple maps app destroyed my battery life. Seems to be better with my Series 4 now.
