battery life!

[tcmiller49]

Long story short,first 2 days barley used the watch got about 10 hrs. yesterday used it extensivley and got barley 8 hrs!! weak!! Then after a few trips here found the settings that should work and now have a watch that rock!! Took it off charger at 9 pm last night and it says 70 % as of 7 am this morning.Time to put it through the ringer again!! Blu tooth yes,wi fi off,location on,brightness at 6, location on,nfc on...i tried to turn off nfc but it came back on ...weird! So to those out there with battery life issues,just keep messing with the settings and you will get it!!!

ok....yesterday the battery life was absolutely outstanding! Took if off charger at 8:30 am and put it on charger around 11 pm last night with 30 % battery left. Used it as I would normally use it.Then today i took it off charger around same time and went to the gym at 9:30 and when i got home it said 37% battery...wtf!! i changed nothing,i did find that some apps were running in background,especially the maps....so I closed all out and went for a 25 min run and the battery now says 36% ....so i just wanted to tell some folks to make sure you close apps after you stop using them because it drains the battery like crazy!

Good advice.

In researching the same problem (poor battery life on my S2), I came across a nice summary of steps that can be taken to improve battery life on this page: How to Save The Battery Power on Your Samsung Gear S2
