You've said you don't do anything but track activity, have you turned off any notifications?
If you have every app pinging notifications to you throughout the day this might be causing an issue? I only have the essentials notify me via Apple Watch (iMessage, WhatsApp, VIP Emails etc.)
Hope this helps, if you've got AppleCare they are very quick, so thats an option.
Hi
Battery life varies depending on use and other factors.
In tests, for example, Apple achieved 18 hours of battery life with the following usage: 90 time checks, 90 notifications, 45 minutes of app use and a 30-minute workout with music playback from Apple Watch via Bluetooth.
Other examples are detailed here:

If your watch is experiencing significantly shorter battery life than Apple's examples suggest that you should expect, try the following steps:
If you have not yet done so, update your iPhone and Apple Watch to the latest software, starting with your iPhone:
Close all open apps on your iPhone and then restart both your iPhone and your watch:
Unpair and re-pair your watch:
Under previous software versions, some users reported experiencing battery life issues in connection with using corporate profiles and/or Exchange Calendars. If you are using an Exchange Calendar, one or more of these steps may help:
Finally, it may help to:
Having tried the previous steps, if your watch experiences significantly shorter battery life than Apple's examples suggest that you should expect, I suggest contacting Apple Support or make a Genius Bar reservation for assistance:
Yeah I all literally do is to check my activity. I read a couple of normal text now and then but don't reply to them at all. My usual routine in the morning is I put the watch on just before I leave for work which is 6am, then throughout the day I will check my activity, by around 4ish the 10% battery remaining message appears and I will press the preserve button to try and extend it but that will last a good 20minutes and then I'm left with a non functioning watch :( till I get home to charge it.

What do you mean by check your activity? Are you starting the activity app in the morning or sometime during the day?
Mine lasts for 2 days.
I usually track 2 x 45-60 minute walks during that time.
Hi deggie,
Sorry when I mean I check my activity, what I really mean is I just view my activity (for eg. Just checking what time it is). Like I said apart from that, that's all I can really do. I don't answer calls, reply to msgs, or anything like that. Because if I do it will only last not even half the day. And changing it to a different face doesn't make a difference.
My partner and my cousin will last 2 days aswell, and they both do all sorts of stuff on theirs, like control their music, makes calls and stuff. They've had a look at mine and they both think I've got a dud :(
Try following the steps in my previous reply.
Heya Jonathan,
I have already done a full restore on the watch and have taken off apps I wasn't using. All software is up to date.
But I'm gonna do another restore again tonight and see what happens again.
Be sure to try working through all of the suggested steps, in the order listed in my reply.
definately gonna follow it through and through :)
I'll let u know how I go :)
My Apple Watch not lasting a day :(
