Frontier S3 connection and battery drain

Lately, my Frontier S3 is behaving crazy.  It will sit in the charging stand and somehow dropped to 53% bettery charge without me ever putting it on!  Then, I'll either try to update software, or check the apps to see what's eating up the battery, and while the watch shows "connected via bluetooth" the Wearable app on my Note9 will give me the 'Connect' button.  If I hit connect on the phone, it spins and times out, while all the while, the watch still shows connected via bluetooth.  There are no other devices that the watch has ever connected to.  I've restarted both the watch and the phone multiple times.  Any ideas what to do next?  I suppose factory reset...?  Sort of a pain since I then have to reset my Samsung Pay on the watch, but I guess that's better than chucking the watch in the garbage, which I'm getting pretty close to...!

A factory reset helped my battery. It last at least 12 hours now. I also have a Galaxy Watch and the Watch 3. So I haven't had a chance to fully test. I'll try to remember to test tomorrow.
