I can charge my watch but it will not stay charged for more than an hour. How can I get my watch to stay charged all day?

I have an Apple Watch 2, which does not stay charged for long. The charge only lasts about an hour. Can it be fixed so that it will last longer than a day?

That's an old watch. Perhaps the battery is shot.
