Sudden terrible battery

New to this thread and want to share about my experience and what I plan to do. I have had the galaxy 4 classic over a year (bye warranty) and while in warranty I had this issue this April. The repair center said this:

Original Problem:
SOFTWARE UPDATE - MOBILE OS UPDATES - INCOMPLETE SOFTWARE UPDATE

Problem found:
WON'T DOWNLOAD SW/PRL

Solution:
S/W UPDATED - PASSED ALL FUNCTIONAL TESTING

So basically they reset the watch. I know that doesn't work since I have done that multiple times before I sent it in and it didnt fix it. Basically they flashed new firmware. Now my watch is doing it again. They want 80$ to repair. I want the firmware and have talked with many at Samsung. They won't give it out. You can get firmware for their phones but not watches it seems. I have found a link to some (not from Samsung) and will be flashing it soon when I have time (in a week) then I will report back. I could brick the watch doing so and if that happens I will buy a ticwatch 5 pro. This is my third Samsung watch and have had issues with each one.

Update:
I have fixed my sudden draining issue through flashing the watch's firmware and after 48 hours of the watch figuring out my usage patterns it now is at 94% when I woke this morning. I charged fully before I went to bed. Before it was showing 50% in the morning with the same routine. I will post a video to YouTube of how I did the change. I also allowed the watch to fully update after the flash. My channel is YouTube.com/@nrdtech. It will be my first video of many more
Welcome to Android Central! This thread is specifically about the Pixel Watch. It looks like you're talking about the Galaxy Watch4 Classic, so I would suggest re-posting in that subforum: https://forums.androidcentral.com/forums/samsung-galaxy-watch-4.1880/
