Q: Battery life
HElp. My battery is draining faster than usual. After 12 hours of normal use I'm at 10%. Haven't changed anything with how I use the watch. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Apple Watch, watchOS 2.1

This has been happening to me pretty inconsistently.
On a good day, I will easily last a full day (I put on the watch at 7:30 each morning for work, by 5pm I would still have 60+%).
On a bad day, it will drain about 1 - 2% every 5 - 10 minutes... by the time noon hits, it will have 50% left.
What I did today which worked is restart both my phone and apple watch when I noticed it draining faster than normal (normally, it wouldn't drop from 100% by the time I leave my house). If it still continues to drain quickly, keep restarting the watch until it stops.
Clearly, theres some sort of software issue happening behind the scene; its frustrating because theres nothing in iOS which tells you whats draining the battery.
