Which watch are you guys using? Samsung? I do not see this as an option for the Pixel Watch 2....
Yes Samsung. I downloaded the app to the watch directly from the Google Play Store.

How are your watch batteries holding up with this new feature?
Mine is using a lot more than previously, ie. 100% to 5% in 14 hours, in the past I could get almost 2 days before charging it.

I need to do a little testing with another watch app "Walking" coach might be part of the problem.
TaxmanHog, my watch battery went down 8% in 4 hours. Seems relatively normal.

That's good, mine seems more normal today.

Last night it finished charging at 11pm fired it back up and has been on my wrist for ~16 hours now and the SOC is 64%, that seems closer to normal.

I guess I burned up a few more watch electrons tinkering with the new feature yesterday.

Still waiting...................... for 5.8.x

I plugged in my truck this afternoon at 2 pm it's waiting for the next charging event as I expect will occur on time tomorrow at 0600 hours, I'm sure this has been the m/o for a long time, but could be stated better, thoughts ??

In my opinion the phrase should state "Waiting to Charge at 6 am"
Not when I plugged the J1772 connector in.

This is something that is a massive issue for me that I can't believe that Ford hasn't fixed yet. Its about 50/50 for me whether or not my lightning or wife's mach E will charge correctly if it shows a random time. I now out of habit just unplug and replug with the app open to make sure it shows midnight for me as that is when I have mine setup due to utility rates.

It has to be a server/communication issue, but I have been bitten in the past and woken up to an uncharged vehicle, so now I end up babysitting it when I plug it in to make sure.
