Have a series 4 Apple Watch, all of a sudden the battery began to loose power (when 100% charged) in less than an hour, also when trying to charge it it requires too many hours to get charged (>24 hours), maximum charge I managed to get was 78%. At same time the watch gets extremely hot. Tried to reset it, but nothing has changed
That sounds like a hardware and likely battery malfunction. Perhaps it is time to consider having it serviced, or start thinking of a replacement even.

Thanks for your feedback, is it a fact that the battery does not last for more than 2 years..., bought the watch 2.5 years ago, had a 2 years guarantee which has expired..., I am a bit concerned that the lifetime of the battery is so short
That battery health number is not that bad, but obviously that kind of long charging time and extreme hotness indicates a hardware failure, perhaps in the surrounding circuitry. So basically it comes down to having it repaired or start thinking of a replacement.
I think it is generally more than that, but sure your mileage may vary. What is Battery Health actually reporting in your case? Under Settings > Battery
It shows 85%, the issue is that since the problem began yesterday it takes ages to get charged...., right now I am charging it for more than 12 hours and it's still below 50% charged
OK. Can you try with another power adapter and charging cable as well?
Thanks, have done it already but still the same issue continues
