I'll report mine today. took off charge at 6am and put back on at 1220am watch was at 73%. normal for me...I feel like I use it a lot but clearly not as much as some of you. I check time and notifications as they come in and the odd dictated keep note.
I usually take it off charge about 6:45am, by 10pm it's down to about 35%.
Steps off, screen always on, and moderate notifications.

Second charge, leave it on table, connected with screen always on, auto power off after about 40 hrs
I guess a whole day is not a problem if I wear it and go out.
p.s. connected with Nexus 5, it should support bluetooth 4.0 LE, may be this help the battery a little bit

Had G Watch for just over a week (screen on, brightness 3, notify on watch and phone) with moderate use, checking all notifications and sending 5-10 messages/mails a day watch battery is average at 30-40% after 14Hrs use, phone battery (N5LP) does seem affected a little, maybe 10% more usage with the watch connected...
All in all very happy with the battery life :good:

I'm a heavy Hangouts user. I have a group of friends that text back and forth all day long. My battery life tends to be commensurate with that activity. I noticed yesterday that my battery life had been doing really well until about 5pm. That's when everyone gets done working, and starts texting with each other. Before I knew it, my battery had dropped below 15% before 6pm. That was really unusual, but it made me wonder if other factors had come into play, like a power-hungry watchface (I use the Weather Watchface). Might be nice if someone wrote a power monitor for the Wear device itself, so we could see who the hungry apps are...
Bad experiance with g watches
I am now on my 2nd g watch because of poor battery life and both of them have the same problem.I am getting about 8.5 hours life before shutdown due to lack of power.I have tried everything i can think off to extend the battery life but nothing seems to work.
It seems to me that some have got a very very good life and some have got a abysmal battery life and there is no way of telling which one you will get.I am doing a test to see if it may be something on the phone that is affecting it so i have disconneted it from the phone and will monitor battery life over the next few hours but dont hold up much hope.
I will be taking it back to the shop again just to see what they say(they did try the old"It must be something you are doing" routine)but it comes down to if its fit for purpose which it clearly is not!
If anyone has any thoughts they would like to share on this then please feel free to add anything.simalarly if anyone has had the same problem and found a solution then i would be most interested to learn of it.
Wish me luck

It was the Weather Watchface that was killing my battery. I switched to the Better Wear watchface, and I'm sitting at 80% at 1:30pm, after taking it off the charger at 7:30am.
It's the Watchface .... or an other app... Several people had also this problems. I have had this to on some watchfaces. If I use an other watchface it last not 8-9 but more then 24 hours....

Bad experiance with g watches
I sussed it but im not sure how! i charged it up to 100% then took it off charge but did not connect it to the phone and it lost 1% per hour which is what everyone else was getting so i reinstalled the wear app on the phone and restarted the phone and in 13 Hours it lost 13% charge which is perfect.i cant be sure waht it was but something was in constant communication with my watch so it was severly draining the battery.i am going to test some differant apps to find out which ones do affect the battery life drastically but as it stands i have got it to work the way it should:laugh::good:

Took mine off charge at 8am this morning, been using it for WhatsApp messages etc and plenty of notifications.... it's 8.15pm and it is still on 57%...
Pretty good I think? Oh and I had an animated watch face on it most of the day!

Hello, I have a problem with the battery life on my G Watch. A few days ago the battery life deteriorated quite s lot. It went from draining about 1% an hour to 10% an hour, without any interaction from me. The problem is that this started happening suddenly. Before that it was all good. I tried to factory reset it a couple of times, uninstalling all my apps, muting a lot of the apps and nothing seems to help. Also, I tried changing the settings on the watch (screen alleays on and of) and it still drains to 0% in about 10 hours. Did anyone experience something like this? Does anyone have a hint at the solution? Thanks!
I have same problem few days ago. I uninstalled an app for black screen when charging and Wearable Widgets and now it is normal.
You really have to pay attention to the applications used.
You can have also problem with BT connexion if it is not fine. Try to unpair and pair again.

Try in airplane mode to see. With this there are no BT problem and you can eliminate this reason.
After there are an app wich show running task in wear device, you can see if there are not unknown app running.

Pretty much the same here. 8am to 8.45pm yesterday and saw it was 45%. Screen on. Gotten texts, hangout msgs, hundreds of emails and looked at my watch constantly during the day.
I have wear launcher, wear messenger, bunch of different watchfaces, minuum, IFTTT, wear bucks (starbucks app), and others I can't think of at this moment.
I'm happy with mine. Also planning on the 360 when available.1Bad experiance with g watches
