Day 1: iPhone Battery Drain

It depends on what was your experience with the iPhone battery before pairing a Apple Watch. Can you give me an example? I have had the Apple Watch for over a month and the battery life on the phone being excellent.
I use my phone all day every day, as well as my Apple Watch. It's not the end of the day yet, but the iPhone 6+ battery is at 77% and the Apple Watch is at 59%. Chill out - once it stops being such a novelty, I'm sure your battery life will improve.
Honestly, it depends on what iPhone you have and the age of that phone. If the phone is an iPhone 5, it has a smaller capacity battery, and batteries degrade over time, so there is even less capacity. My 6s+ will be on nearly 50% with the watch connected when the day ends(6am-6pm). However when I had my 5, it would die so early into the day(6am-11am). It all comes down to your phone and it's age/usage history
That also can be a potential problem, the battery life on 9.0.2 is really bad, like REALLY bad. My 5 was JB too and once I upgraded to the 6S+, I updated it to 9.2 and battery life shot through the roof, even with the Watch connected
Makes sense...although the phone is active providing data to the watch, the screen is far less active.
When I had an iphone 5 the battery would drain very quickly while using the phone while being paired with the watch. Before I got my Apple Watch it was ok
I now have an iphone 6s and the battery on both the phone and watch are fantastic I could go two days before having to charge them up
