Sometimes rushing out shit just to see what sticks gives unintended consequences.

In this case, a good laugh at Samsung quality control. Last year it was the pen getting stuck. This year it's screens that are easily marred/scratched and exploding batteries. All from a phone that is slower than a year old iPhone 6S.

I too charge every night and it's typically at 50% or more charge when I do so. No battery complaints here.

My other half used low power mode on hers when we went away into the wilderness for a long weekend and it stayed on for over 4 days (she didn't turn it off at night).
It might be good if Apple offered multiple power modes, but I guess they don't want to water-down the experience.

I'm more looking forward to WatchOS3 for the speed increase in all honesty.

I agree, battery life is not an issue with Apple watch, the main issue is that is SO slow. That´s why I am looking Forward for Watch OS 3

The first several betas didn't show any improvement like was demoed and promised at WWDC—I'd even argue that it got slower—but at of the late couple betas it's been considerable faster and seems to be more power efficient.
