Podcasts App Draining Battery

[Jason Hensley]

Is anyone else out there seeing their Apple Watch battery draining significantly when using the Podcast app? I go for 5-mile walks every morning, lasting a little over an hour. I was VERY excited to begin using the podcast app, but after these past two days using the app I have noticed that when I finish my battery is roughly at 20%, and it is at 100% before I start. Is this happening with any of you as well?

Are you streaming over LTE, or playing from a synced playlist on your watch?

Good question, I forgot to add that part. I am playing them after they have synced from my phone.

Nobody else has seen this?

I'm getting the same problem. I used to use another podcasting app and recently switched back to the native app. Huge battery drain!
