I'm sure the Apple Watch is more accurate, but I find it hard to believe that to be that more accurate drops the battery to by a factor of 20. My hunch, as somebody who used to work at Apple, is that the watchOS is no different than any other software and is very far from being optimal.

I didn’t intend to imply the increased accuracy was the reason for the battery life drop; they were just statements about my experience with both and my ultimate choice to stick with the Apple Watch because of the accuracy and more advanced abilities, even with the significant pain in the ass of having to charge the watch every 18h or so.
