Will they ever implement a battery section in settings?

[Renho]

So we can see what eats our battery so much or is that on purpose so they don’t want us to see what eats it up so much?

No one but Apple can answer the question you've asked.

That should be the end of this thread right there, but based on this thread and your other thread about a way to close all recently used apps at once, if what you're seeking is useful advice, mine would be:

Stop micro-managing your Watch. Enjoy it for what it is, stop making it something you feel the need to regularly monitor and baby. Remove the battery percentage complication, stop yourself when you feel the urge to check the battery life or usage hours, stop removing recently used apps. It's just a Watch. It's supposed to make things easier and more fun, not give you work to do.

I'm just about to complete a four-week observation period during which I've used the watch normally and recorded some battery lifetime information every day. This gives me an understanding of how the watch performs in my daily use, and an indication that I really don't need to worry about it going forward.

Over these four weeks I've found that I get on average 14-16 hours of use before reaching 50% battery charge. Everything's on except noise measurements and fall detection, and screen brigthness is at the middle setting. It's a cellular model but I don't use cellular.

My current understanding of things / situations where battery is used most based on my own usage (in no particular order):

1) Phone is not within Bluetooth range (within wifi range still causes a hit)

2) Constant fidgeting with the watch

3) Long workout sessions (on a day including 2 hours of cleaning I hit 50% charge after 12 hours)

we can post what we want and should without someone trying to criticize.

If I have the urge to check battery all the time or want to know what exactly eats it so I can make it better for “me” then that is what I want to do and will.

I do a 1.5 to 2 hour workout with local music and not around phone. And play sports. I have been getting 10 hours. S5 noise off and screen at lowest. It’s killing me turning it off for periods of time just to make it home. For a couple weeks or so I was getting 18/19 doing the same things. Now it changed so not sure why.
