Testing Android Wear

Battery life has been so bad, I've decided to do a full reset and do some measurements of battery life. I also decided to uninstall Google Fit from my Moto X as I suspect it to be a big battery drain.

First, I went in to Android Wear on the Moto X and told it to forget the Moto 360. Then I reset the Moto 360, and finally re-pared the Moto 360 with the Moto X.

The following are some battery life measurements.
