Stopwatch drains battery at very high rate

This is an issue I have noticed with all of my Samsung watches but can easily reproduce it with my Ultra and my 5.  The stopwatch app, if left running (no screen time - just counting time) drains the battery at a rate of ~10% per HOUR.  This is ridiculous as tracking a workout, which obviously runs a stopwatch itself along with high precision GPS and I am assuming more heart monitoring for blood oxygen (VOX measured ?) will only use 3-4% of the battery in an hour.    This is easy for me to replicate at any time by simply turning on the stopwatch and letting it run unchecked.  I routinely find the most consuming app to be the stopwatch when I look at app power history.

Thank you for reaching out. I can certainly understand your concern with the battery drain on your watches, when using the stop watch feature. As you have tried most of the troubleshooting steps that would be recommended, I would recommend submitting an error report using this link: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Community-Service/How-to-Send-Feedback/ba-p/3001692

This is NOT Normal application power usage. The stop watch was on for an hour and a half and accounts for 14 percent of the power usage so far.
I have asked that you stop replying to this thread as you continually MISS the point of my post.1745687257339.jpg

The same to Galaxy Watch 7 - stopwatch drains battery, and after update to UI8 the same. Such a long time could not fix this? Shame.

Any chance this will be fixed soon? It's crazy that such a simple app frains battery that fast!
