Sep 27, 2015 10:58 AM in response to markusfromeastonby sphaase,Same issue for me. Used to get through the day with 35%-40% power left and now it drains in about 8 hrs or so. What the....? Unpaired and re-paired the watch twice, no improvement. I guess the next step is to do a reset of the phone, darn it.

Sep 27, 2015 8:44 PM in response to sphaaseby vk2bkq,Hello all,
I have the same issue of high battery drain on iPhone with watch OS 2 and first 5S and now 6S Plus.
Contacting support has resulted in "Nil success" with promises of call backs which never happen !! (Very poor show,APPLE" The only thing not tried is a setup as new and then restore from iTune back up. Has anyone had any success via this method ?? Battery drain was fine with IOS 8.xxx and watch. IOS 9.01 seems to have brought it on!
Regards

Sep 29, 2015 7:31 AM in response to Colbster182by markusfromeaston,no, really - I am observing an average of 1.8% battery drain per hour, I am now getting a little over two days battery life out of the watch ... I am not using any apps and notifications are set to only a few critical items ...

Sep 29, 2015 7:33 AM in response to Ungrrrby markusfromeaston,no, since I switched the pairing from my old 5s to the new 6s, no backup was available - I set the watch up as brand new device.

Sep 30, 2015 5:39 AM in response to markusfromeastonby richardalan1975HUH,I want to chime in here with my own experience. I to was experiencing an issue with the battery only making it through about 1/2 a day. I unpaired the watch and restarted both the watch and phone. When pairing them up again I selected NEW rather than restoring from a backup. Secondly when it asked load all the APPS from my phone I chose NOT to and selected a later option. Yesterday I made it to the end of the day with nearly half a battery left. Previously I had let it add ALL apps from my phone for the record. Hope this helps...

Sep 30, 2015 4:04 PM in response to JeffWaggby JeffWagg,Sadly, after being fine for a few days, the watch died at 6PM today. It was at 100% at 8AM.
I'm guessing some process is getting stuck, but there's no way for a user to figure out which one it is.

Oct 2, 2015 5:23 AM in response to spiderguy84by danielberlin,Same for me: Updated to 9.0.2 this morning and my watch went from 100 % to 7 % from 8 AM to 2 PM. Now I "cold" restartet my iPhone 6 with power+home and the severe battery drain on the watch seems to have stopped at least for the moment...

Oct 2, 2015 2:25 PM in response to richardalan1975HUHby BioAndroid,Thanks Richard! Your suggestion solved this issue for me! I was waking up at 6AM and my watch was dead by noon each day. Following your advice to unpair the watch and setup as new fixed the drain issue for me. I'm at 86% and it's been 6 hours already. THANK YOU!
