Battery life a few days after 5.0

[thevaristy]

The first couple days saw a boost in battery life for me. I always have the screen on, and where I used to see about 22 hrs, I was trending closer to 30. Now, it is only lasting about 16. Not sure what gives...has anyone else noticed this?

I'm in the same boat. I used to get through the day and end up around 70% and now I'm hitting 50% with the same amount of time and usage.

Have also noticed terrible battery drain lately. Havnt installed any new apps so it not an app problem. Last night before i went to sleep, i had 74% battery and this morning i had 13%!!!. I dont have the screen on all the time (no point - im not looking at it all day).

I left home an hour and half ago with 30% battery and now its on 6%. Something needs to be done about it.

Mine has been the same. Download wear battery stats app. It shows your % per hour your device is losing.

After letting the battery completely drain to 0% and charging back up to 100%, the issue appears to have solved itself. Still not sure what caused it but my theory is that the watch had been on constantly for weeks and either needed to be restarted or charged from completely flat to full. Some Sony handsets suffer from this issue too, but as i said its just my theory. Anybody else have better explanation?
