My Apple Watch is not keeping charge and taking a significant amount of time to fully charge

Hi danaeolsen,

Welcome to the Apple Community, where some of us do our best to help each other :)

Apple support have an article online about Watch 6 Battery:

Seems the amount of time the battery lasts depends on how you use your watch, cellular network, signal strength, and more.

Charge time varies with settings and environmental factors; actual results will vary.

When I purchased the iWatch 6 + Cellular, the watch would hold a charge for about eighteen hours. Now I have to charge twice a day. Any ideas?
