Apple Watch battery at 82% health is not lasting all day

Battery does not last all day. Willing to pay for a new battery. I was told by the Apple call center to bring in in to be evaluated. I said I just want to pay for a new one but was told they have to evaluate it. Someone (not apple ) they want it to be below 80%. I don’t care I want a new battery and will pay for it. Any suggestions?

Part of the issue is that Apple does not really replace the battery. They send you a new watch of the same model. This happened with both my series 4 and my wife’s series 7 when the battery health was at 80%. Our watches both notified us that the battery needed servicing. The gotcha was that both watches were under extended AppleCare+ and there were no charges for the service.
