Samsung contact sync is  the single most draining app on my GW5. Draining over 6% during the day. It did not happen before the beta. Battery life has become much worse because of this.

If you disable the contac permission for all galaxy wear app and the wear plugin this issue disapears, but it is just because the buggy app cannot access the contact anymore and it does not run.

If you have a Samsung and it was updated with One UI 6.1 possibly your battery is draining a lot and the culprit is the "Contacts 

Storage".

To solve this what I did was to turn off WhatsApp "dual app" permission to access contacts.

Hello, thank you so much for this. I use the Dual Messanger for WhatsApp. Is the solution to use separate contact list?

Please, this thing is eating my battery like crazy

Hey OMEN0626, 

unfortunately the solution is to block WhatsApp Dual App to access the contact list. 

If you need it to be constantly updated, what I recommend is to deny the access and time from time, allow it to update the contact list.
