Is anyone having battery issues with their S5 Watch?

That’s the exact numbers I was getting on my S5, my S1,S3, and S4 were 40-60% at the end of my day.

Issues with my series 5 cellular, I've tried all suggestions to no avail. Battery lasts about 8 hours with little usage, nowhere near what I was getting with my series 2. I’ll likely return.
I am very sad with the S5 battery life. Yesterday it died after 12 hours...
with S4s I got 40% left after 16-18 hours of daily usage. That is crazy!
Turn off the noise monitoring.
It’s on by default.
It 14 days for a replacement or refund at Apple not 30 days
I don't believe noise monitoring is the issue because I never turned mine on.
Turn off compass and sound Background App Refresh
Both are turned off on mine and the battery drains
Try turning Background App Refresh totally off
I already have that off
Hey Michael, did you test your battery life with your screen Always on? Very interested to hear your results.
No worries, great info! I’m about the same, 40-50% difference to S4. This article from imore is certainly different to our experience. https://www.imore.com/apple-watch-series-5-battery-test
I don’t think that article is off base, I have noticed my battery drains way less during a workout??
After a 45 minute workout and normal day use my S3 would be at 60% by 10 pm. First day with the S5 and after the same kind of day, it’s at 24%. Hopefully it will be fixed with an update.
