what are you getting for battery life?

Always on and ambient display on?

Starting @8AM, I am at 30-40% remaining by bedtime with Ambient, Screen, and WiFi on, as well as tilt to wake.

Ambient is on by default. I haven't had a need to change it. My burn rate on the battery is just under 4% per hour.

This is what I can get... I don't know how good it is because I come from an apple watch (and I went to bed with 50℅ battery life)

I shut things I would never use. I don't like tilt to wake, that fitness tracker stuff is disabled, wifi is off and gestures. I do keep ambient display on though.

It's good for me but looking having this on because it saves a bunch of battery

With everything on -- ambient display, Bluetooth, wifi, notifications, tilt to wake, etc. -- I get about 4% per hour. I get about 1.5% per hour overnight in DND mode with sleep tracking turned on. So, it's usually at around 30% at 10am in the morning when I jump in the shower and put it on charge (I work from my home office). 30 minutes later and it's at 100%.

The only thing that regularly and consistently burns battery life at a higher rate is when I track walks using GPS on my Nexus 6P. And on occasion, some app will get "stuck" (e.g., Google Fit, Zenwatch Manager, Bluetooth) and it'll burn at a ridiculous rate until I restart it and the phone. That happens every third day or so, so it's not a big deal other than being a bother.

I'm also 4% per hour. I've turned the display brightness to 5 permanently.
