watch turns off when using during workout

I use the workout app with my Apple 4 series watch. After about 30 minutes, the watch turns itself off and won't turn back on until I put it on the charger. Then it shows about 60% battery left

Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 7

Does it show 60% as soon as you put it on the charger or after it has been charging for a while?


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

Apple Watch - Battery - Apple

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:

If the battery drains too fast after an update, see all the replies to:

Update 6.2.1 Battery Draining Too Quickly… - Apple Community

FWIW, in some cases, unpairing the watch, completely erasing it, then pairing and restoring the backup will resolve the battery draining issue after an update.
