I noticed the battery drains when away from the iPhone at a rate that's almost twice as fast as when the phone is with me. I keep cellular off on my watch unless needed, so it's not related to cellular. Not really a problem, give the Ultra's battery capacity, but interested. Any idea why this occurs?
Got a tip for us?

The watch will definitely drain faster when away from the phone even if you have cellular off. It will keep looking for Wifi and BlueTooth to connect.
