Battery Life with 6.0.1

[Mikey47]

Is it just me or does your Huawei Watch have worse battery life than with Lollipop?

I used to take my watch off the charger at 6AM and put it back on the charger at 11PM with still having 60-70% battery remaining. Now it usually has 20-30%.

That's almost twice the usage per hour (from a little over 2% per hour to almost 5% per hour). I'm still happy because I get a full day, but on those rare days when I don't get to charge it at night it used to live most of the second day.

I know with our phones we always have to let battery usage "settle in", it's been a week for me on 6.0.1 and my watch hasn't done that settling yet....

Personally I haven't noticed any changes in battery life since the 1.4 / Marshmallow update recently. Still pretty much the same for me (except one little issue - reported here in another thread ("Battery level indicator going crazy"...but the happened only once yet)

Hmm, uninstalled Instaweather around Noon yesterday, battery at 11 was 45%. Which is 10-20% better than it has been.

I wonder in Instaweather is the battery drain culprit on Marshmallow?

The first few days, I was at about 50% with about 15 hours off the charger. Today, I was down to 12% Disappointing.
And my HTC One M9? With BT on all the time, that was down to 15% in only 8 hours. Yikes.

I had been using the 3rd party watchface Titanium. I switched to a stock Huawei watchface last night. Took my watch off the charger at about 9 a.m. Eight hours later, at 75 percent. Much better. Seems like watchfaces may affect battery life.

It totally does. Stock watch faces are the best at attaining the longest battery life. Experiment on the others to see which ones are good as well

24 hours off the charger and it's 45 percent. Not too shabby. I think I could go through a weekend without recharging.
