Anybody have any idea what this is ? Google searches just add to my confusion . Something about an executable file that isn't supposed to use CPU because it doesn't do anything beyond translate code language . If that's even what it does as it was Greek speak to me .
I've never seen it before but supposedly it's been on every Wear watch that has Wear 4.0 and newer .

Oh and my battery usage doesn't show LTE usage or the several hours of music monitor for my phone and its Bluetooth power usage

Turns out this watch face is using CPU in the background , thus the reason the SDWF app is showing up as a user .

Since I stopped using any "Wear friendly " faces and went back to using the ones I made I have had no more issues with battery life .
I tried several others , all supposedly battery friendly and they were anything but .
I can't confirm it but it seems using battery friendly faces and using downloaded (instead of bloatware ) apps as complications is what is killing my battery so I went back to just using ones I've made with Watchmaker and can make use of the complications I prefer .

I don't show Samsung Declarative Watchface in my battery stats. I'm thinking it's the name of a particular watchface?? (Ok, nevermind. I see where you mentioned that above).

This is all that shows in my battery stats...

Mine is almost normal on this charge . Play Store is acting up again but I just froze it for a couple of hours and it's working its way back down .

After playing with aftermarket faces from the Play Store using the new software it seems the face will use quite a bit of cpu , thus battery , during customization of said face but little after .
I put a new face on my GW 6 , saw the declarative shoot up to 3rd highest user and stay there but the next time I charged the watch I let it get down to about 20% then let it fill up to 100% instead of my usual ~98% , which resets battery users report , and the declarative .... was gone and hasn't returned in 2 days even though I'm still using the aftermarket face .
