Hi AppleAnette, sorry to hear you're having these issues, let’s try troubleshooting.


If your Apple Watch battery has increased battery drain, perhaps you should try a force reset.

Restart Apple Watch - Apple Support

If the issue still persists, you should try unpair and repairing your Apple Watch with your iPhone.

Unpair and erase your Apple Watch - Apple Support


Also, if you have recently updated your WatchOS, it's common to experience an increased battery drain after an update as certain tasks related to the update continue in the background including indexing. You should only experience this increased battery drain for a few days before it goes back to normal.


Have a great day, and thank you for the work you do!
