G Watch murders my battery

[the_icon12]

I just got my G watch and loved messing with it. The only thing that concerned me is that 7 hours in my watch was at 20% and my phone was at 4% after both were taken off the charger at the same time. Any suggestions because this is a real deal breaker for me.

Wow, I've not had any where near that bad of a battery drain with my G Watch / Nexus 5 setup.

Are you getting a lot of Bluetooth disconnects? That could explain the dramatic battery drain.

No battery troubles here either with the G watch and N5 also. No impact to N5 battery, and the watch goes 24 hrs. with screen always on, brightness 4.

I got my G Watch on Saturday and battery has been good. Made it through Sunday with alway on display 8am to 11pm with 25% left.
Didnt really notice my phone (Notes 3).
Today my watch is ok but my phone is down to 62% after 6 hours. and Android Wear is showing up as using 41% of the phones battery so far!
Seems very high, bluetooth is connected all the time not had any drop outs.
Also only had about 20 notifications all day so far.
Very odd.

Do your phones support BT 4.0 Low Energy? If not, you're going to notice quite a bit of battery drain. It's not even noticeable on my Note 3 though.

Rebooted my phone and for the rest of the day it stayed at 41% so I guess it just freaked out and ate my battery.

I have had no battery changes since getting my g watch.
