5) Power Saving mode
When power saving mode is on, your watch’s home screen will be shown in grayscale and all functions will be turned off except for calls, messages, and notifications that use Bluetooth. Wi-Fi and mobile data will also be turned off, and performance will be limited.
From Galaxy Watch 5 Settings, open the Battery section and tap on Power saving mode to turn it on. Also, you can turn it on through Quick Menu.

Some of the apps and features that we cannot use without Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or mobile network connection. Turn on only the connection functions you need, you can turn off all the rest to save battery.

You should customize notifications as per your preference. Open Settings on your watch >> Click on Notifications >> Tap on Advanced Settings >> turn off the switches for Show with details and Turn on the screen.
8) Temperature
Temperature is also a factor in reducing watch battery life, exposing it to very cold or hot temperatures can cause damage.
9) Turn off the Watch Always on Display
Of course, the Always on Display function eats up a lot of battery. If you want to save it then from Settings of the Watch, open the Display section and tap on the Always on Display toggle to turn it off.
Note: You can customize these settings from both your smartphone and smartwatch.
