My Apple Watch started to randomly go to low power mode (green clock) for no reason, first time at 70% then at 55% and now at 35%. It's running on WatchOS 3.1. Should I go to the Apple Store? Or what other things can I try?
 
First it should NOT just randomly go into Low Power mode under any conditions. Low Power mode is something you must switch/toggle on. When this happened was your :apple:Watch exposed to water (like a in the shower/washing hands)? Sometimes water can 'press' the buttons on the screen. If it is just going into Low Power mode while wearing around then it has a problem of some type.
 
No, it wasn't exposed to any water or moisture. Should I try to reset and pair it again?

Might as well since it can't hurt. Also if you are under 14 days you can just return it and get a replacement if available. Do you have an Apple Store near you in Romania and do they have in stock?

Sounds like it's hardware related. I would fully charge it first, then attempt a re-pair. If it does it again, I would seek a replacement.
 
I bought it in August from an Apple Store in the US, but I can go to an Apple Premium Reseller in my city to let them check it.

I will do this as soon as i get home.
