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 .
