How is your battery life on the watch?

[smooth4lyfe]

I have been really impressed with the battery life!
I have gotten 2.5 days max without charging. Makes me more comfortable sleeping with my watch on to track my sleep?

How is your battery life going for the watch?

AT&T LTE 2 plus days and I don't sleep in mine

I'm getting almost 3 days, depending on how much I use it for calls.

I'm also getting like 2 days and a half it's the best battery life I've had on a smartwatch

2 days if Always on Display is on. Without AOD i get 3-4 days. I wear it also at night to monitor my sleep

I had a bad battery day yesterday, 100% down to 19%, 9am to 11pm. Not LTE version. Always on display, BT on, WiFi off, NFC off, GPS used for 43 minute run, couple very short calls, couple voice texts, bunch of screwing around with settings. Today it had a battery drain issue from 100% to 36% 830am to 1pm when u mostly wasn't wearing it and screen was off. I turned it off and let it charge to full and it has been good since. 25% battery used between 230 pm and 1230am, screen, BT, WiFi and GPS off.

2 days (50% at end of day 1)..very happy.. Aod and wifi on, GPS on (but not really used), bt on, non LTE, heart rate tracking on, medium usage. I used to bring a charger with me to work for my wear 1.5 but not with this watch.

Charge it each night, hope that doesn't do my battery in. Other day it ran down to 0 while I was sleeping which was OK.. Hopefully it shut off at 5%.

I noticed that different watchfaces affected battery life significantly. If you have a watchface with too much going on it will drain battery, but if you have a simple one your watch will last for days

I had a bad battery day yesterday

I had a bad battery day too this week. Can't quite put my finger on the cause, because I was playing around with different watch faces and getting lots of texts and other IMs. Gonna have to pay more attention methinks...

I have a Mr. Time Maker watchface and a Facer watchface that I created which are both pretty much minimal black... but the Facer one drains battery like a mother... don't know y

 

[inffy]

I get great battery life. I have turned Always on Display off as it useless and the wake gesture works 99,9% of the time.

So watch has been off the charger for 1 day and 21hours and 35minutes and it has still 63% battery left. I can easily get 4 days with this.

I use Alpha Dark 2.0 Pro as a watch face which also saves battery

Yeah I experienced the same thing yesterday I downloaded Facer and used a watchface I got off of there and it killed my battery all fast I don't know why.

 

[daves221]

I'm thinking the facer architecture can't be as optimized for the s3 as the native Samsung faces.. Just the concept of that helper app (companion app) that is needed and how the face is sent to the watch to me takes more cpu to run a face than the native faces that just run on top of tizen.

Hopefully facer gets more optimized over time in terms of battery usage.

I could be wrong and that the drain is only related to display usage, it must send to me that the app itself could have an impact

Yup same here
I had a Facer watchface and it drained my batter so fast so I changed it and now its much better...Its seems to be most of the watchfaces on Facer not just a particular one
