Can I (if so How?) deactivate Music on my watch? When I play music on my iPhone, my Watch shows what’s currently playing, but this drains the watch battery. On a recent roadtrip, after playing a Playlist on my iPhone for several hours, my Watch was down to 30% (starting with a full charge) with no other unusual use. This has happened repeatedly. Can I ‘turn off’ the What’s Playing feature to save battery life?

Hi FrRon,
Welcome to the Apple Community, where some of us do our best to help each other.
Sorry I'm no expert.
There is an "Apple Watch User Guide" available online :
(Choose the Operating System of your Watch at the top. )
You can click on "Table of Contents" (eg: then "Apps" and "Music" ) to see what's available there.

To view the user guide from the Apple Watch app
Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
Tap Discover at the bottom-right, then tap User Guide.
Hope this is of help in some small way :)
