Anyone using this and experiencing bad battery drain? I have an S5 as my daily driver and an S4 for sleep tracking and working out. I had multiple Infograph Modular faces set up on each watch for different purposes that I would just swipe left and right to get to the most useful face depending on what I was doing. I decided to delete all those and just go to the Siri face for both watches, for simplicity, and they are both getting max 12 hours battery life. Is this normal behavior for the Siri watch face? I expected some drain since it’s constantly updating the cards but this is insane.
 
I use the Siri face as my main one but don’t experience that drain. I had bad battery drain when I first got my series 5 but it has been great for months now.

Ok thanks. Thought it was weird I’m seeing the same drain from AW5 and AW4. Might be an app that’s consistent on both watches.
 
Tomorrow I’m gonna use only Siri face and see if it drain my battery more than normal.
 
I find that the Siri face has gotten more useful over time. It seems to learn what you do when. So it generally shows my next event but it also brings up weather notifications and timer suggestions (I usually use a timer when making dinner so most nights that pops up around dinner time and my next thermostat pops up on occasion. I can see how it wouldn’t be for everyone but it works great for me.
 
Today has been a lot better. I’m on pace for an 18+ hour battery day. Hope this continues. I’m good with 18 hours.
