Still Crap Battery Life?

[matt3166]

So I got my moto360 this morning, set it up and then charged it to 100%. Took it off the charger at 1pm and went to work, here it is 5pm and it's dead. I don't have the ambient display on, the brightness is turned down to 1. I just don't get it, I didn't have many notifications. It's updated to the latest software as well.
Any ideas?

Once it's 100% leave it charging for another hour. I realised that 100% isn't really full charged.

Wow are you kidding me. That's bizarre

Yeah. Cause I was having same problems. Also let it get 5 full charge usage. As the battery also gets better.

Also in the manual it says 2 hours for fully charged. And mine gets to 100% in one hour. So the otehr 1 hour should be done to get the best run times.

Thanks for the tips. I'll definitely try them out

I went through two Moto 360s. For both of them, my previous one and my current one, right out the box (I believe it came with 30%) the battery depleted fully within an hour. The next charge was pretty bad too. After a few charges, the battery stabilized and I'm getting full days with a decent amount of charge left in the tank.

Give it a little time and it gets better.

I'd reset the watch, something is definitely not right. I took mine off the charger at 7 this morning and am currently sitting at 64% remaining at 10:30pm.

I get 16-18hrs with 30s timeout on auto brightness.

If I change watch faces every 5min it will be dead in 6hrs.

Mine was new last week. I have been getting in excess of 18 hours usage since day one. Today Android Wear predicts it will last for another 15 hours and it has been off the charger for 9 already.

I've found that over time you'll form a pattern that works for you (as far as what options to turn on/off, watch faces, apps, etc.) to optimize battery life. Like many here, I've been getting around 15-18 hours with ambient and tilt to wake OFF.

Last few days I have not been home and staying at a friend's place and did not have charger do I turned the watch off at abit 23:00 and managed to go three days there is still 18% still left on it.

On my fifth day, took off charger at 8am and its now 9:40pm with 42% remaining. Yesterday at this time it was at 10% by this time so it looks to be improving. No real complaints here.

I have bad days now and then, but on average, I'm right in the ballpark of 24 hours (extrapolating when I put it on the charger going to bed). Ambient off, full brightness. I rotate from a factory watch face to facer, to watchmaker faces about once a week.

The subject you picked for this thread is inappropriate (what part is "still" with a new watch?) and unnecessarily hostile (and I suggest you edit it).

I easily get 36 to 48 hours per charge. If after 5 days you still have short battery life, see this thread: http://forums.androidcentral.com/moto-360/471939-what-do-when-360-misbehaves.html
