For everyone who has the watch, what is the battery like, how much have you used it?

Expect everyone to get an hour and a half first day while they constantly play with it. I managed to burn out my 6+ battery the Saturday after delivery
Today is my first proper day with it (i.e. Using it as my watch). Came off the charge at 7:30, now 9:15 and at 47%
No workout or overly intensive use but really confident about battery now

I could probably squeeze two work days out of the watch. Been very impressed.
It's murdering my phone battery, though.

The battery life on the Watch and my iPhone6 have had the effect I hoped for so far, offloading some activity from the iPhone to the Watch I can get through a full day with no worries on either.
I take both off chargers at 5am. 11 hours later both have 70% charge (today has been a light day). The past few days were heavier usage and both had 50-60%, which is more than fine for me to make it til very late at night.

I got 39 hours out of mine before it went to power reserve with moderate usage (some navigation, music, apps etc.). Worth noting I have default brightness and prominent haptics on, a 38mm model, and have NOT used the workout app.
The first day I used the butterfly interface and I got 6 hours on a battery. Switched to modular and yesterday was 13 hours 33 minutes standby and 3 hours 17 minutes usage. Battery was about 33%.
