I posted this in the gear s3 forum but it's pretty dead there and this is an accessory I used with my Note 9.

My Gear s3's batter only last me about 15 hours at the most. I have not changed anything in my setting but when I take it off the charger at 10am by 10pm I'm getting the power saver warning on my gear s3 and it's down to about nothing when I go to bed around 3am.

Is it the battery possibly as well? I had issues with the Gear s2 also with it being sluggish and buggy. I think I'll go with a different maker for my next watch.
 
Not having that problem on the Gear S3 Frontier Edition paired to my Note9... have had the watch since early 2018 I believe, and the Note9 since early '19...

I do know it just got an update to the Wear app... not Android Wear but Samsung's Wear App... it's called "Galaxy Wearable" in the App tray...

Anyway, since the update the watch's notifications have been more colorful, graphical and animated but no effect on my battery life... in fact, my watch always outpaces my phone by far... I charge them at the same time usually and if my phone is down to let's say 50% after a days use, my watch will still be at about 75-80%...

I should mention I have always on display turned off on the watch... AOD is turned on on my Note9... maybe that might have something to do with it...

Have u tried rebooting the watch... or using less widgets on the watch? Other than that I have no idea what would cause your battery drain... sorry. Hope it gets fixed for you...
 
I was having a really bad battery drain , but I found that it was the facer app that was draining it. Once I got rid of that app I went from getting only 13- 14 hours to at least a day and a half on battery.
Have you downloaded any new apps that might be causing the issue? Also did you do the one UI update ? That seems to have helped my battery life as well.

I'm still using my Gear S2 Classic. Never had any battery issues with it. I easily get about 42 hours usage out of it. I'd suggest checking your apps.

I'm having the exact same thing with my Gear S3 Classic and Galaxy S7 phone. Since an early June update my watch has gone from about 60 hours on a charge to less than 20. I tried resets and complete discharges. Still looking for a solution...just now tried a new update, waiting for results from that.
