I noticed my battery seemed to drain pretty quickly; much more quickly than my series 3 cellular.

I’m wondering if I might inadvertently have something running in the background, but also just thought I’d ask how the battery life has been for others.

My watch was fully charged late yesterday evening, and dropped 16% overnight without me even wearing it.

Just wondering how typical that is - I haven’t ever noticed my series 3 losing that much that quickly.
 
Mine hasn't been great either. Granted, yesterday was only day two so I'm hoping that it needed some time to settle. I've also disabled Siri raise to speak to see how much of an impact that has on battery life.
 
from my experience, batteries take a week or so of exercise to reach their full potential.

not sure if that's due to battery chemistry or just not realizing I'm using things a bit more when they're new.
or maybe a combo of both.
 
as others have said it will take the watch time to get better, when I updated to OS 5 on my SS S3 it sucked for 2 days and then after it was back to normal
