Thought I would check with everyone else on this.
I noticed that having Android Wear on my phone (a GS5), and having the watch paired/connected via bluetooth, appears to really be cranking through the phone battery. I usually start off the day around 6 AM with 100% battery. Today, for example, maybe three hours later the phone is sitting at 75% battery. I would say this is approximately twice as fast (or faster) as prior to connecting the watch.
When I check "Battery", under settings, things like "Android System", "Android OS", "Google Services", "Bluetooth", and "Cell Standby" are largely at the top of the list. I don't recall having this issue prior to using an Android Wear watch.
In case anyone is wondering, I usually leave GPS/"Location" turned off on the phone, "NFC" turned on, "Wi-Fi" turned on sporadically (i.e., if I am near a network I can connect to) and "Bluetooth" turned on. I leave the phone in "Power saving mode", but not "Ultra power saving mode".
Not a huge deal, as I do have a spare battery that I can swap in, when needed; however, it would be nice if the rate of drain wasn't quite this fast.
