Hello lescfls,
If your Apple Watch battery does not last long before needing a charge, we'd recommend the guidance below which can help improve performance:
"1.Update to the latest software.
Always make sure your Apple Watch is using the latest version of watchOS.
Learn more about updating watchOS
2. Adjust your settings.
There are a few ways you can preserve battery life on your Apple Watch:
3.Enable Low Power Mode.
Introduced with watchOS 9, Low Power Mode is an easy way to extend the battery life of your Apple Watch when needed, for example if you’re on a long flight or find yourself without your charger for the night. You can enable it by swiping up to Control Center and tapping on the battery percentage, or by going to Settings > Battery.
4.Low Power Mode prolongs battery life by turning off always-on display, limiting the cellular and Wi-Fi connections of your Apple Watch, and disabling background sensor readings including heart rate measurements, high and low heart rate notifications, irregular rhythm notifications, and blood oxygen measurements.
When not connected to your iPhone, your Apple Watch will attempt to retrieve notifications approximately once an hour. When your Apple Watch battery reaches 80% charge Low Power Mode automatically switches off.
5.View Battery Usage information
To view your battery usage and charging history, open the Settings app on your Apple Watch and go to Battery.
6.Plug in and power on your computer to charge your Apple Watch.
If you want to charge from your computer, make sure it is plugged in and powered on when you’re using it to charge your Apple Watch via USB. If your Apple Watch is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the Apple Watch battery may drain.
