Apple Watch series 5

I am at a loss with this watch. The battery life if terrible. I have turned off everything possible. Apple even replaced it and the new one is just as awful. I have unpaired and paired. I have done the reset. I even took my phone back to factory setting thinking there was a software issue. My series 3 was amazing and I wish I had never traded it in for this one. I need the 18 hour battery life. I work really long days and I can't charge it in the middle of the day. Any suggestions? At this point I don't even want it if this is how it is going to be.

To understand Apple Watch performance and its relation to your battery, see:

Apple Watch Battery and Performance - Apple Support


“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:
