how can I reduce battery usage on an apple watch 6

My apple watch is about 2 years old. I only really use it for tracking my steps & workouts, taking the odd call and seeing my messages. I also use the swim mode. And I use it to find my phone!


Nothing else really but almost everything is on that mirrors my other apple devices (not email) and must no doubt be draining the battery. I get new alerts which I don't need. I can't get through a full day any more which is really frustrating. It runs out of juice after about 11 o 12 hours.


I have recently updated to the latest IOS software. Settings are defaulted to optimized battery charging. Maximum battery capacity is 83%


I would rather find a solution that avoids me having to send my watch to apple to have the battery fixed - and save the cost and hassle too. Any tips greatly appreciated.


Thank you!
