I have the exact same problem and I couldn't figure it out. Nothing changed and not even a single setting on the watch has been changed. But all of a sudden it started to leave me alone in the middle of the day due to high battery consumption.

Wondering if the battery needs to be replaced? Depends on how old it is - S3 was released at the end of 2016.... 🐧

I know, i was thinking about it too. But just dont want to, it will break the water proof.

It shouldn't break the ip rating for moisture & dust if the battery is replaced by a Samsung Service Center - You can always inquire about it prior to having the battery changed - But the watch won't be much good if the battery is dead anyway 😉🐧

That Sounds like a good idea. I afraid it will cost a lot. Since i own the watch since it release.

I bought the gear S3 Frontier 3 months ago and I have the same problem since the last up to date. I think that it's a Samsung problem. It's call: Obsolescence programmée. Many people have the same problem when you read on the net. Hope they Will find a solution . . . and fast
