My Samsung Gear 3 Frontier battery won't blast a 10-hour shift at work

[Android Central Question]

When I go to the app and it says what's wrong with like what's draining the battery it says that it's the watch face until I use a darker screen and I you I do that but it still drains so so much that it's just pointless I want to return it And I don't know what to do about it I've read all the forms and I'm done everything and it still draining now I'm I'm just going to let it go dead and see if it resets it that way but does anybody have any ideas how to fix the problem

Restart the watch rog app draining battery

If it is an LTE Version try turning that off while inside the building. Try relying on Bluetooth or WiFi for a day on a full charge... The watch is most likely struggling for a signal causing rapid battery drain. If you installed any sketchy apps or watch faces recently, that may require a factory reset... My watch has phenomenal battery life, but I purchased the Bluetooth model because I know the LTE is a joke and not worth the extra $$ to keep it activated.

Mine has LTE and it almost always lasts morning to night without issue.

And I am a heavy user

Sorry I dont have any suggestions, maybe a factory reset?

Got my watch over the weekend, so Yesterday I went to work, from 7am, thru 1pm, my watch died... I was connected via 4G, Wifi & bluetooth... not sure if turning all of these on drain the batteries. but I had so much notification popping left and right for work and personal that it might drained the battery. I'm going see again tomorrow, and hopefully it last the whole day.

I have Verizon Frontier LTE. I keep the watch face on always. No problem making 10 hours though I do have to charge at night.

Sorry for your problem.

Mine goes just over 3 days easy.

That's strange. I charge my watch once every 2-3 days and that's the LTE model. Even when I put it on the charger it's rarely below 20%.

How do you typically use the watch? Do you have Always On Display Enabled? Do you use GPS locating for anything? What apps do you have installed?

It is most likely the radio that it has to use . LTE and wifi take more power than Bluetooth.

when I am away from my phone and in a poor signal area for LTE it can run down in a few hours. GPS is another load on the battery.

But if it is connecting with Bluetooth and the phone is nearby, it can go all day on 15 to 20% of battery.
