Battery life on gear s2 is short

[Android Central Question]

I think it's because for some reason the screen randomly comes on. I have the wrist movement setting off. This is my second watch that I'm having this problem with. I only get text, messenger and phone notifications, hb monitor is set to manual, screen is off, bt is usually off, and I'm still only getting about 18 hours of battery life. Help!

This can be tricky. I have found that the watchface that you use can greatly effect battery life. I would play around with different watchfaces and see if it makes a difference. Obviously if you get a lot of notifications in a day that can also shorten battery life.

I basically get no notifications. I really like the screen I have, but I'll try a different face. Last night I went to bed with almost 50% charge and it was dead by 3am (the vibration woke me up). I don't know how to keep the screen from coming on. Did I get two glitchy watches? Am I wearing it wrong lol? I swear I will be sitting still and the face will light up. Any ideas?

Also I have the screen set to 15 sec, and do not disturb from midnight to 6a.
