Sad day for my series 5. (alien.top)

Had to turn off ‘Always On’. This is the feature that made the series 5 seem like an upgrade to me. But with battery capacity at 81%. I can’t rely on watchOS 10.1.1.1 to get me through the day.

Hold on for a month more probably and then when it goes below 80, have the battery replaced from Apple. It costs 79 bucks and chances are that you will get a new, apparently refurbished watch back. That’s what I did last month.

The 80% rule is for free replacements with Apple Care+. If you're paying for battery replacements, you can do it at any point.
