Alright. I officially have a kind of love-hate thing with this watch.
The battery drain issue is fixed. My phone drains at a normal rate now. The tick box must have fixed it, because the MTK Bluetooth dropped completely out of my battery monitor as the leading cause of drain and everything is good.
I've had numerous compliments on the style of this watch. I even mentioned that I thought it was too big, but the people I was with insisted it went well with my "mojo".
I can definitely take calls through the watch. I've done it inadvertently twice now. The calls come through loud and clear. Loud enough for everyone within 25 feet of me to hear. Even though it'd be a sweet feature for the right person, I wish I could disable it altogether for me.
I can also play music through the watch. I have done this inadvertently as well. Loud and clear.
After 30 hours of use, the watch's battery is about 70%.
I guess my biggest beef is that the watch simply does too much. It does everything I want it to, but all the extras I find annoying. I wish I had some advanced settings to disable 90% of what this thing is trying to do. I also wish it had a smaller footprint. Bluetooth pairing seems kind of buggy right now. It works well 95% of the time. Every time it pairs it re-sets the setting to route my calls through the watch instead of through the phone (or through my car).
Even though the watch is pretty awesome, I suspect I'll continue to use this for another week tops before losing interest altogether. Stupid crappy attention span.
