Apple Watch suddenly VERY slow

I've been using my Apple watch for a month now, everything was running smoothly.

Then, yesterday it became VERY slow. Some apps just didn't charge at all, some charged very slowly.

Connection got unstable. Battery drained faster then normal.

Nothing especial happened yesterday. I had already updated to WatchOS 3 more than two weeks ago. I installed yesterday a new app (Watchfy).

Already tried unpairing / repairing, rebooting (watch / Iphone), turning off / on Bluetooth, deleting some apps.

Iphone SE, IOS 10.

Has someone had the same problem? Is there a known solution?

Thanks!!

It may help to unpair your watch and then re-pair it, but this time to set it up as a new watch.

If the issue is initially resolved, test by gradually returning your watch to the same set up as before - installing apps, adding apps to the Dock and adding watch face complications one at a time and monitoring performance after each change. If you identify an issue with a particular app or complication, try removing it again.

If the issue perists, I suggest that you contact Apple Support or make a Genius Bar reservation for assistance. If you purchased your watch as a new watch and did so fewer than 90 days ago, you still benefit from complimentary technical support:
