brightness as low as you can take it
minimize apps that refresh in the background
turn on theater mode if you know you wont be needed to look at the screen for a while (like sitting at a desk)

Are you unhappy with your battery life ? What Watch and software version ? You can change various things that all have a negligible impact on battery. But really most things are a compromise and effects the convenience and usefulness of the watch.
"What does Optimal" mean for your situation? Battery life is always a tradeoff between having features turned on and using more power, and turning them off and enjoying more time between charges.
