just upgraded to the pixel XL from a Nexus 6p and I'm having some major problems with Google fit and Android Wear. to start with, only the phone is tracking my steps; if the phone is sitting the watch steps don't get uploaded. I've got a smartwatch3, Huawei watch, and a 360 sport which were all working just fine in my 6p so I'm confident in saying the watches are ok.

the next issue is that my watch batteries are being drained excessively. the sw3 and hwatch are my daily watches, and after a full day 16+ hours off the charger I was generally comfortably above 40% with the 6p. with my pixel I'm down to 50% in just over 3h, and Ive had similar results with my hwatch. they've both been fully reset and re-paired multiple times.

any help?
