Gear S2 and battery drain

[PsychDoc]

So if I have an option to connect to my smartphone (S7 Edge) with either BT or wifi which will drain the S2's battery more slowly? With smartphones it has been my experience that BT draws a lot more power than wifi.

This would be when I'm home or in the office where I have good wifi available. I recognize that when out and about the only way to link the S2 with the phone will be with BT.

What's your take on which is the better option?

My experience is that bluetooth takes up much less battery. I use wifi only when I have to. The watch defaults to bluetooth and only connects via wifi if the bluetooth is not working (which usually means you're too far away from your phone).

I use my watch on BT all day long and I rarely get below 30%.
