The battery on my watch, a FossilQ Founder lasts around 7 hours with hardly any use: the wifi is switched off and the watch face is on tilt to wake. Still something is eating the power away. Please HELP!!!

What does the battery usage list look like? It's accessed on your phone from within the Android Wear application (Open the Android Wear app, click the gear on the upper right corner, click your Q Founder in the list, then click Watch Battery). The list should be sorted by highest offenders to lowest. If an application is appearing at the top then that could be your issue.

I am using my watch with an iPhone and I did not see the option you mentioned on the iPhone version of the Android Wear App. All it gives me is the option to look at my feed, and google options.

After upgrading to android wear 2.0, have you done a factory reset ? On my watch I had to otherwise some things were not working. Also after the upgrade (or reset) the watch is very busy during many minutes (if not hours) so battery life is not good (and the remaining battery displayed is totally wrong after upgrade / reset)

I have an LG Urbane also and I am using it for now as, after the upgrade, the steers life is as decent as before and seems to be more smooth than my FossilQ Founder, but I'll try to reset and see what happens. Thanks for the tip.
