My watch 6 has suddenly started draining within 6 hours of full charge. I have troubleshoot everything. I checked if any apps are draining but it says the most any has used is 0.5%. I've updated all apps and removed any that I don't use. It's already on power saving and I usually get 2 or 3 days wear before having to charge. Imnot getting any more notifications or using it anyway different. It's also overheating occasionally. Not sure what else to do.

Have you tried just resetting the watch? A bit annoying, but that's the last thing to try. If it's still an issue, then you can send it into Samsung to assess.

Sounds like you have a dud battery. I wouldn't keep recharging it. I would get the battery replaced before it causes you injury. 🙏

There are many reasons for excessive battery use. On the main Community page top right, use the Search option and look for phrases like "battery draing too fast", "background apps", etc.

First thing to check is if it's searching for a signal or connection to a device
