Phone battery drain with galaxy watch

[Android Central Question]

Hi have a ohone samsung galaxy s7 and just purchased a galaxy watch 42mm Bluetooth. I noticed that my phone battery is draining way faster and I usually can't finish a work day without loosing my phone on the way. Is there any feature that i can change to improve my battery life and still enjoy most features of my new watch?

It probably drains more because you now have Bluetooth always enabled

Check this post to see if that's the cause. I was able to fix my battery drain problem by resetting (clear Cache, Data and reconfigure the app) Skype on my phone. Now the batteries are no longer draining fast after using Skype.

I am having the same issue with my Samsung S7 Edge phone battery draining after I purchased the Samsung 42 mm watch. I cannot get there the a 8 hour shift with out having to charge my phone after 4 hours. Is there something I can do to stop this? HELP. Is it because my Bluetooth is always enabled?
