Hey!
Sorry for not responding any sooner, been pretty busy the past couple of days so for the most part I've just left my Bangle turned off until this gets fixed as to not potentially burn through any charge cycles. Though I have been monitoring this thread and tried what Gordon suggested with the long-press reboot.
As soon as I booted in though my Bangle was for some reason rapidly trying to connect to and disconnect from my phone, to the point where the widget kept shifting between connected and disconnected and the battery percentage kept changing a few times a second. Not knowing what was going on and not having the energy to troubleshoot at that moment, I just disabled Bluetooth on my phone, rebooted the Bangle with a long-press, and still got the same battery drains. Though I did wake the watch and went into the settings menu to see if something in there caused that Bluetooth issue, which might've started whatever was causing the draw.
Right as I was typing this post though I got the reconnecting issue to stop by just simply forgetting the bangle on my phone and pairing again. I didn't do anything with the touchscreen for this session and (as far as I'm aware) haven't written anything to flash, so we'll see what happens next before I fall asleep.

Was about to make my own post about this since I'm also having similar battery issues (Got mine yesterday from Adafruit, came with same firmware version), but I'm using watchfaces from the app loader (Pebble++ with a Calendar ClockInfo) with iOS integration installed alongside it, nothing else besides the preinstalled apps and an Info app that tells me stuff like battery percentage and if any sensors are on (I made sure stuff like HRM/GPS/Compass was disabled). Already tried leaving it charged overnight and calibrating the battery, but found that after only being unplugged for 3 hours it dropped to 50% while idle and connected to my phone. Also I only have Wake on button enabled and my brightness was set to something below or at 0.5.
Let me know if updating the firmware helps since that's the only thing I haven't tried yet, I just factory reset it and only installed the battery widget that shows percentages and iOS integration.
Seems like this fixed it on my end too, just installed the update with my battery at 82% and the percentage hasn’t went down at all 3 hours later, even while connected to my phone. Thanks Gordon!
