Getting it activated on verizon was a frustrating, time consuming mess for me on Friday. Since then, it has had some intermediate drops but mostly works. Yesterday I took it out and had it on just lte while at an outdoor festival and did a few texts and short phone calls. Battery life after having it on for about 14 hours was still at about 60% when I went to bed.
Today - took it out on lte only to shop at costco (no lte service in costco even though they sell/activate verizon phones and my phone/watch version one combo has always worked there) and no texts or phone calls and it was down to 73% with only 4 hours use. The bluetooth was continually spinning seeming to look for something to connect to and I could not figure out how to turn bluetooth off. I tried turning watch on and off but that did not seem to help.
