Awful battery life.

Verified Purchase:Yes
So.... I'm going to return it and here's why. The battery life is unpredictable and *very short.* Having ambient display/always on display turned off with minimal screen on and few messages, it might squeak out 18 hours. On a trip where I'm getting directions every few minutes it went from 90% to 30% in just over an hour. To SEE the notifications you have to move your wrist to face you and then its 1-3 seconds before it turns on. The notifications are.... odd. Directions have a LOT of wasted space on screen and even opening the maps app on the watch fills up half the screen with GPS stuff that is useless. I'm going back to my Pebble.... I really wanted to love it... but there's nothing it can do that my Pebble couldn't do better.
It's the best of Android Wear... is what I read a million times over. And I believe it... If you are OKAY not having always on AND STILL only getting somewhere between 8 and 18 hours of life.
I loved the crown that rotates... It was my favorite thing ever... If I try AW again, it would have to have a rotating crown.... but I'd also like a super different android wear with bigger full-screen notifications that actually will show me more than 5 words.
The messenger app was awful to use. Gifs are broken every time. Replying via voice makes you go through like 3 screens confirming it and ANYTIME I tried to reply with anything by voice it was a huge delay and it was far less accurate than my Pebble.
The on-screen keyboard is actually pretty good but.... still ineffective.
So.... I don't WANT to return it... but I literally will never wear it again. I gave it 2 weeks and I can't justify the cost, even on sale.
