Battery life

[o4liberty]

With 7 hours so far today my watch 5 is at 83% with normal usage. I am very happy with my new watch over my old watch 3 I had. It super fast and easier to use.

Definitely agree. With the W5Pro, I'm super impressed so far with the battery life. Even with AOD turned on! I can finally utilize that feature without having to worry about my watch dieing before end of day.

Took the watch off the charger at 1am to track my sleep, turned AOD on and as I type this at 12AM I still have 53% battery left. Even with an 18 mile bike ride in the middle of the day.

I know the watch 5 battery isn't much more than my 4 in the small 40mm but we shall see I read it's 3 or 4 extra hours.

Mi e was off the charger yesterday day for 17 hours before I went to bed. I still had 81% of the battery left. Mine is the Bluetooth version so I don't have any LTE sucking battery like on my gw4 classic.

I've been seeing around one and a half days. I'm a heavier user I think, and have been doing a lot of uninstalling and reinstalling and tinkering.

I'm relatively happy so far, hoping it get's a bit better though. I would quite like to hit a full 2 days.

After 24 hours of use, I had 73% battery. Over the course of those 24 hours, I had AOD on the entire time and wore the watch during the night with blood oxygen monitoring on. The watch will turn the AOD off on it's own after it detects sleeping, so it was off during the night, but I only got a little over 6 hours of sleep. Sadly, that's good, for me.

Can't wait to get mine. I have been using a 3 year old Ticwatch Pro and I get maybe 14 hours on a single charge. And that's if I don't mess with it and I usually don't because the os is old and slow.

Relatable. I got 5h 47m... Honestly, the main thing I've got from sleep tracking is vindication lol.

It should get better once your done tinkering and settled in with it.

Pro 5 with LTE here. Received the watch on 8/23, charged it to 100% & started wearing it at about 2 pm. I accidentally left it on the first night, turned it off last night so let's say 40 hours total of on time. It's currently at 53%, so hopefully I won't have to charge it again until tomorrow morning (will probably start using power saving mode overnight).

Note: the watch says I have 1 day 13 hours left *without* power saving. That's better than my S22U!

I have the W5 Pro LTE. I'm having weird patterns. Was going along discharging @ about 2.15% per hour and now discharging @ 3.2% per hour for no apparent reason. At 25 hours usage, only 20% left. Biggest users are Display - 5.4% and Samsung Health 2.4%. Watch still says "Learning your usage patterns...". Disappointed as I should be getting better. I did just upgrade several watch apps via the watch. And I'm on One U1 5.0 beta. Considering exiting the beta if it's messing up battery life for the watch.

 

[atliens]

took it off the charger 930pm last night. it still has 78% left

 

[Yguideslou]

Took it off charger at 7:30am, with 100%.

It's now 2:40pm, and I'm a heavy SH user, (heart rate, ECG, stress, etc), and it's at 84% while also using my most battery intensive Facer watch face.

My Watch 4 classic would die within 12 - 16 hours.

So, I'm exceedingly happy so far.

Great battery life from the watch 5 very happy with it!!

I'm currently on 56% with 1d 3h used, which isn't too bad.

I'm still having issues. I have LTE turned to Always Off. If Wifi is turned on, could that be killing my battery? I'm about to reset the dang thing and start over from scratch.

10 hours later, with AOD on and somewhat light to medium usage, I'm now at 52% battery.

As far as I know, Wi-Fi is set to auto when it's on so it will only use it when your watch loses the Bluetooth connection to your phone.

I And I'm on One U1 5.0 beta. Considering exiting the beta if it's messing up battery life for the watch.

That would be my guess. Unless One UI 5.0 is offering access to really cool or useful features, I'd just back out.

I like that it allows you the choice between regular backup and Smart Switch for the 5 Pro and a few other things. I was thinking to reset the watch now that the second beta is out and I have installed it.
