Can't say that I agree here. Maybe because I'm running fOmey's awesome rom, but the last thing I'm thinking of is how "bad" the batt life is.

Easily get 2 days. You'll see plenty of others around here reporting similar. Even with stock. Battery life increased with more recent versions of firmware and especially gear manager. And last longer with motion setting disabled
Are you using custom faces with watch styler or one of the stock faces? I think WS eats more battery but I find the many faces worth it. I plug in my phone every night so I have no issues with charging the watch

watchstyler - especially if using second hand drains battery
Yeah, can easily get two days, and the watch charges extremely fast so that isnt an issue for me

people are complaining about gear's battery life and tells us about how great 'pebble' is. truth is, it sucks balls. either you are getting a smartwatch (gear) or a watch with smart extensions (pebble).
i don't see an issue with the gear's battery life, as the things i can do on it out beats any other "smart"watch.
The problem is most of the"professional" reviewers have probably only used it for a few hours and then only when it first came out, it's a shame they aren't more diligent.

That's a fair question. No, I'm not using any custom faces.
I am completely stock and on newest firmware. I must say battery life is awesome for me. Using stock watch face with weather and could easily get 3 days out of my gear. Although I charge every night I am only draining about 40% from 330 am to 930 pm. Very very happy with this.

Hey guys, so recently my 2 month old gear live has been having crazy battery drain for no reason. It's connected to a note 4 with no problems. What doesn't make sense is that by 9:45 it has lost 43% of the battery in maybe 2 and a half hours... I downloaded the android wear battery manager app, so I'll add screen shots below.

Did you find any help. I'm experiencing the same thing and Sanding is no help at all. I've send it in twice and both times they returned it saying no problem.

Nope, I still haven't gotten anything to work. I was just about to sent it to Samsung in hopes that it will work... It's almost useless to even wear anymore because it dies in 4 hours...
Hope you find help, and if you do PLEASE let me know!!!!

Your screenshot say that you have activity with map app. It is a cause of hard drain battery.

Same problem here since yesterday. Took it of charger this morning and within 2 hours I had 75% left. Did reset and battery after reset was 49% ?? Battery stat app doesn't show any app activity. Very weird.
I have my finger hovered over the "Buy" button in Moto Maker but im a tad concerened about battery life. Most reviews say its OK but have also heard slightly worse. Im a relatively heavy user listening to podcasts via bluetooth incar and also the normal social network stuff along with connection to a Moto 360. I do however have easy access to an in car charger throughout the day should the phone need charging. Im just slightly concerned for when I have days out with no access to a charger.
How are Moto X owners on here finding battery life?
Hi man. I'm not a heavy user and I can do the whole day.
As you say, the heavy users are not very happy with the battery life and there is not yet clear if with Lollipop is better or not. What I have read almost in every post about this, is that people is suggesting to have the turbo charger with you all the time if you are a heavy user....
Anyways, I'm not a heavy user and I think is OK, but yep...is not fantastic.
There are way too many of these threads. The battery is NOT bad. If u manage ur device well there wont be any issues with battery. Also everyone will have different results based on how the phone is used.
I'm not as heavy a user as you are; the main things I do on my phone is surf G+, browse the internet (using Chrome), use Reddit News, use bluetooth to connect to my car and stream music (probably about 2-3 hours a day), and of course text (using Google's Messenger app and GroupMe). I also have Location services on High Accuracy, but use WiFi mostly. Typically, I get 4-5 hours of screen time. The best I've seen was a little over 6 hours of screen time over a ~14 hour time period.
Coming from a Nexus 5, I think the battery life is awesome (I got 4 hours max. on a good day). If you do pull the trigger, get the Turbo Charger, too. With that, unless you go a really long time without seeing a power outlet, I don't think you should have any real concerns regarding battery life.
I really think the battery is fine here is a screen shot of my battery usage. I have exchange and two gmail accounts. This is with an hour flight listening to music on Moto Buds and 2.5 screen on time.

Thanks for the replies. Apologies its all been asked before.
Hi, I've got my g watch r for a few days now, and I get very inconsistent battery life.
For example yesterday I've had 2,5%/h, today I've got 11%/h... With no settings changed... Just switched it to theater mode over night on the charger.
I've always on, with a very minimal watch face. No tilt to wake. Not very much notifications and no heavy usage....
What can I do to analyse the battery usage? I have wear battery stats, but that doesn't give very detailed information...

Update your AW app on phone then restart your watch at the begining, then observe your battery life.

I had the most recent version of Android Wear already installed, I restarted the watch now, let's see.

Have you this version: 1.1.1.1889093? I had that same problem like you and update solved my problem.
Yes I do, but to what should I update? This is the most recent version?
After the restart it seems better.
Yes it is the newest version.
Hmm, go into the Android Wear and under setting click your watch and then battery usage. For me the battery usage is really bad since the last updates, hopefully android wear 5.1 will fix it (hmm i think we will get it in 5weeks or so, because google hates us).
I noticed that when charged using laptop the charge went down little quickly than when charged with wall charger.
Hey guys, my Moto X used to be able to get OK battery,but since the 7.5 update, I lose 15-20% over a five hour period, which is quite disappointing. any fixes?

All of a sudden for me too, GPS is now eating up to 15% of my battery and the Android OS is at 11%... I noticed this this morning. The only thing I installed last night was Greenify...
Quite similar to what I have. Android system and Android os always on top

This is new for me. I normally have pretty crap battery life but services and OS are normally never this high. The battery on my phone is so hit or miss. It 's behavior seriously changes daily. I don't get it.

By the way, it got me to 8.30pm yesterday before I had to charge. As bad and inconsistent the battery is, at the very least I can say it gets me to dinner without too much babying. I'm just concerned when it drains much quicker than usual which means I can't use it as much for it to survive.

if you will use 0 brightness will no.
Can install GSam Battery for monitoring
is screen burn with too long use of this app ?
Uninstalled right away. Full of invasive popup ads and doens't even resemble the always on galaxy s7.
I would suggest you guys Glance plus which has a minimum impact on the battery.
I'm currently using always on display since the latest update... seems much better... but it's still battery intensive... but not as bad as it was. Glance definitely is less battery hungry but it's not exactly always on...!! So until the real APK is out I'll keep using always on. I've even payed to get rid of the adds.. definitely worth it.

All these apps are useless to me, I'd rather wait for the app port and source code releases by Samsung, then waste my battery life on these apps. Digitizer will walkways waste battery.

How do you uninstall this app??
Its posted in google play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.orthur.always_on_display and here and there with negative review
@senzatiOn-
i installed the latest version of the app on a g925f with custom kernel and rom.
i works with no errors.
only one bug i found untill now and that is when i am on a phone call using bluetooth handset, while i press the power on button to turn off the screen, or when the system tries to turn it off, the screen turns back on after a second.
The battery was drained by 5% within an hour with the brightness set to 25% of the slider.
Overall i am pleased by it. Keep up the good work.
Best app loved it i was fedup by lame display of google always on
