Q: Apple Watch - Battery Life

Hi. This article should help you to increase your battery http://www.apple.com/batteries/maximizing-performance/#ios

Since I began using my Apple Watch, I have experienced a slight decrease in my iPhone's battery life, but it still lasts me all day and I have power left. It is not a significant drop, but the difference is noticeable.

Does the Apple Watch shorten the iPhone's battery life?

Not that I've noticed. I've had mine since it was released, paired to my iPhone 6.  Bluetooth is not a huge power drain in general.

Edit: As Chris has, I believe gotten his watch more recently, he may be more aware differences.

I haven't noticed any difference in my  iPhone's battery at all while paired with my Apple Watch which I've had since last Christmas.

As I've gotten to thinking, I've been dictating a number of text messages, and probably doing more with the phone/watch combination that I would have in the past, as I experiment with the watch, but I must say the watch seems to have great battery, as I've seemed to always have at least 50% at the end of the day, and I've been using it from around 8am until midnight. No complaints here as far as watch battery, that is for sure. While I used to use about 3.5% battery per hour in general, I am using around 3.7 now, depending on how much I use features on the watch that require the phone.

You are also probably more observant than I. I've never really calculated what my average battery drain is.

I had some trepidation when I first bought the Apple Watch because there was so much speculation that the battery life would be terrible. But, like you, I've been pleased with the battery life. On the one or two occasions when I've fallen asleep without putting in the charger, it has still had enough power to get me through until I get to work and can charge it. So, 24 hours, six with minimal use.

In my experience, no.  There has been no change in my phone's battery life since I paired it with the watch. I got the watch as soon as came out and i've gone days between charging my phone (I don't play with it a lot). 

Hi

Bluetooth uses a very small amount of battery for apple watch

To save battery on iPhone turn off apps refresh you get 1/2 hours of battery life on iPhone

Between charging .
