Android Wear watch faces: my digital favorites. I really wish that Android Wear watch face reviews would talk about battery life impact. In my experience, most watch faces, particularly those that display extra things like remaining battery life and the weather, have a huge impact on battery life. #

Battery life is the single biggest problem that I have with my Moto 360. According to Wear Battery Stats, I am getting 8% drain per hour and I have no idea what is "normal." #

In fact, the more I think about it, the battery life on my Moto 360 sucks and I expect that to be the case for all Android Wear watches. Today is a good case in point. Right now there is severe weather where I live and therefore I am getting a multitude of notifications on my smartphone and watch. You want severe weather notifications to come through to the watch but yet the frequency of those notifications is draining the battery. #

I could turn off these notifications to increase battery life but that eliminates the main reason why one would want to wear a watch in the first place. Besides, one shouldn't have to fiddle so much just to get a watch to survive a 16 hour day. #
