Charge the watch to 100% at bedtime.

Take it off charge,

Turn it OFF - hold in side button til you see the sliders and tap the tiny off button, top right.

In the morning turn it back on and it should be at least 95%. If NOT then the battery is damaged.


If the battery is OK then unpair the watch and then pair it again.

Test the watch for a day.


Unpair and erase your Apple Watch


Set up your Apple Watch

 

If it still discharges unpair it and pair it again without restoring the backup,
