Users report Apple Watch murdering iPhone battery life

However, there have been mixed reports about the impact the Apple Watch has on iPhone battery life. The Apple Watch needs to be paired to an iPhone for full functionality. The iPhone connects to the Apple Watch via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to feed it data and notifications throughout the day.
However, several other users have noticed a significant drain on their iPhone batteries in early usage with the Apple Watch.
Former Engadget editor Ryan Block had as similar experience and pinpointed the Apple Watch Companion app as the culprit. John Byrne also puts some blame on the Companion App, saying that force-quitting the app seemed to help at least a bit. A discussion thread in our forums provides similarly mixed results, with one user blaming his battery drain on checking email on the Apple Watch. Due to the inconsistency in reports, it seems that either a software bug or particular usage pattern could be a culprit.

no shite. if you hook your phone up to a bluetooth device for an extended time it drains the shite out of the battery. Anyone who expected anything less is dumb.

Disagree. I get a full day out of my nexus 5 hooked to my wear watch constantly.
In fact I dont notice any difference when I'm not connected... but then it only uses Bluetooth and not WiFi.

I could give a shite about the watch but I am seriously impressed with the battery life on the 6+.

My phone isn't drained at all when it's connected to my waterproof BT Speaker and using WiFi streaming or other data usage.

If Apple would ever ship mine I could give my anecdotal experience.

I find that screen brightness affects my battery life more than anything, assuming normal usage of phone.
I have an iPhone 6

My phone is uneffected. My Casio watch doesn't need fancy gadgetry to tell time.
