How is the iPhone 6+ battery life altered with use of the watch? Since you use the iPhone less, does the battery last longer? Currently my phone lasts all day with Bluetooth and wifi on.. Will I notice a difference when I start using the watch?

I want to know if I get better battery on my iPhone when using the watch. Or is it worse. I dunno
 
Definitely better. I've only had my watch for two days but I'd usually run my 6 Plus down to about 30%. I've been using it a lot less with the watch and my battery has been 50-60% by bedtime the last couple of days.

I've always had bluetooth on since I use BT headphones.
 
While people are complaining that there apple watch is taking forever to come, i had to ship my mophie case for my 6+ because it broke, so at around 8pm i have 6% of battery. Don't have my watch shipped
 
Instead of 2 days battery, I'm getting 3 days. Probably because I check everything on the watch and only pull the iPhone out when I need to.
 
This is what really matters-

Before Apple watch:
Never ran out of battery during one day's use. Charging iPhone overnight everyday anyway.

After Apple watch:
Never ran out of battery during one day's use. Charging iPhone overnight everyday anyway.
