I expect as much and was always surprised when people demanded that Apple add LTE to the Watch. Almost all ignored the cost in battery life, and now there are loads of complaints about battery life and LTE. Then there's the subscription service.
WTW! You play you pay. Features cost money. I view LTE as an emergency feature more than a tool or convenience. So while I'm not crazy about the cost and subscription ($10 a month??) the battery life with LTE doesn't bother me. I can live with meh.
I think it’s a convenience but I wouldn’t let it go on lte very long. Yesterday I took my Nike+ out for a run without my phone. Was fully charged when I left and after a 3.75 run I was down to probably 75% and then grabbed my phone and ran another hour with my daughter and by the time I was done I was between 60 and 65%. LTE is definitely a battery hog.
