After the last update my watch went from 3 days of battery to just about 2. I'm not understanding why. Anyone seen an increase of battery life after an update? Any way to fix it?

It's the Music app causing the problem. Whenever you play music on your phone with Music app, Spotify or YouTube etc the watch automatically turns the music controls on it to remotely control your phone playback. You can't even disable this until they recognise it and fix it in another update.

You are right. I've noticed before the update that I had an option to turn that feature off, and now I can't find a way to disable it. I wonder if they are aware of the problem.
