Moto 360 effects on phone

[insert_username]

I'm just curious as to how this will effect my phone battery life. I understand it's going to drain more because I will always have blue tooth on. I don't want to get this watch if it's going to cause me to charge my phone in the afternoon.

Anyone experience issues with this? I have a note 4, so the battery life is excellent and I usually have about 25% left after a full day of moderate to heavy usage (~17 hours on with ~4 hours screen time).

Thanks for the help! I really want the 360, so I'm hoping for good news

Bluetooth usage accounts for 2% of my phone usage after a full charge when connected to my 360 mate

Well I guess I have nothing to be worried about then. Thanks!

I've seen no practical difference in phone battery life or performance over the roughly 4 weeks that I've had the watch. I have an HTC One M7, so not a stock or Motorola phone either. The BT implementation for Wear utilizes a low energy mode (BT LE) and is very power efficient.
