I notice my AW had good enough battery life until I started using the Workout and Activity Apps. Occasionally updates to iOS and watchOS seemed they might be hitting the battery harder but a restart of the phone and Watch seemed to fix that, if it ever was broken.
Something I wonder about is Location Services. If a give app uses LS and resides on the Watch independent of the phone, can it drain the battery? Some apps on the phone use LS even when not open. I've also found some apps with LS on after an update that were turned off before. Though tedious, I routinely turn of all apps and enable main apps one by one and then as needed.as needed I'm not sure how this affects the Watch's battery life.
After any xOS update and after a few app updates, I would do a hard restart the Watch to possibly minimize any potential gremlins. However, on recent trip to an Apple Store, a Genius advised me it negatively impacts the firmware. So now I turn the phone off/on instead and only occasionally reboot.
