The sound movement bars on the "Now Playing" glance are moving when there is no music playing on the iPhone or any other device. Is this expected behavior ? Having a lot of battery drain and trying to determine cause. No other apps installed.
 
Happens sometimes, the way I stop it is to play music on my iPhone and then pause it on my watch. It's just buggy software, it will be fixed soon I'm sure 🙂
 
Workaround and significant better battery life

Happens sometimes, the way I stop it is to play music on my iPhone and then pause it on my watch. It's just buggy software, it will be fixed soon I'm sure 🙂

I found that pausing on the watch did not hold, it started back up again. I think I solved the issue by starting music on the phone and pausing. I have seen a marked improvement in my battery life. This time yesterday I was down to 20%, after 8 hrs of usage, now I am at 78% with same amount of overall usage.
