My watch battery drains fast

Hi Jmernst6,

Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.

We understand your Apple Watch is draining battery quickly. Your Apple Watch model can lasts up to 18 hours depending on several factors.

Check whether you have Raise to Wake enabled, how long the display is left to be lit, whether Background App Refresh is enabled and if it on for all apps or only for a select few. You can also check your push notifications to make sure it's on for on the apps you need.

Optimize your battery performance using Apple's recommended steps. Apple Watch Battery and Performance

Regards.
