How do I preserve battery life with little use

How do I reduce battery use. My watch has started to drain battery to very low so I have to charge before bed. Half the time it's still charging when fall to sleep, so there's not much point having it.

it doesn't get heavy use and is only 1 year old.

I don't think I would have another one, the battery issue means you're always chasing the charge.

I'm not sure how to resolve this when it gets very little use during the day... shame.

Apple Watch SE, watchOS 11

If it drains with no usage and you haven't updated watchOS in the last few days you might want to restart your watch to see if the issues persist

If you have updated in the last few days it could be that the watch is still busy with indexing the update and therefore it will drain quickly but this will resolve

Also, you can check the settings app on your watch>battery to see the battery health of your watch to see if there are any issues there
