S3 frontier dying faster

[Anotherusr]

Has anyone noticed their watch dying faster since switching to the note 10+? I used to get 3-3 1/2 days on my note 8. I'm getting barely 2 days now. I'm not using my watch anymore than I used to if anything I might have used it a little less this week.

My s3 now only lasts about 6-7 hours. Apparently I there is an issue with an update but I've also seen people in other forums say it's a battery issue. Either way I'm getting an active 2.

I am going to pick up the active 2 LTE when it's released hopefully it has good battery life.

I haven't noticed mine dying faster , but then again I don't use my watch all day either. I only wear it mostly for my 12 hour night shift.

Mine isn't quite that bad but I haven't gotten more than 12 hrs with mine for awhile. Had the watch when it first came out though so at 2 years old I can understand that. That's if I don't use the always on display and a vanilla watch face. Add AOD and a cool watch face and that's a different story.

It could just be coincidence as your watch battery is probably just getting old. You may need to replace the battery if you're comfortable with don't that. Mine used to last only a few hours but after replacing the battery it's now back to 3 days. This was early last year when I did the replacement.

I'm still getting 2 days of usage without charging.

I've had mine about 2-2 1/2 years and have seen some decline in battery. I typically top it off every evening, wear it over night and until evening the next day. At that point it has between 60-70% remaining. So based on that, I'd say I'm getting at least 2 days.

I have the Galaxy watch and the battery seems about the same as with my Note9.

When my S3 lasted for that short of time, Samsung diagnosed it and said I needed a new battery. I replaced it and it's back to lasting 1-2 days. I never had it lasting 3-4 days.. Maybe if nothing was installed on it and things like the health monitors were all turned off as well as the AOD.

Was that easy to do? I mean I guess I'm outside of a manufacture warranty so it's not like I'll break that..

Sheesh that's horrible, what's making you get the active 2 instead of the "galaxy watch"?

I'm a plumber and work with the watch on. Need a black watch thats cheaper so it doesnt show scratches and damage as much

Yeah it was pretty easy. Bought the battery on eBay and watched a couple of YouTube videos on how to take it apart.

So your watch screen is turnt on 24/7 and your able to get 2 days? Mine only comes on when I look at it and it's been off charge since about 11am and I'm at 55%.

I would consider getting the newer Galaxy Watch. I had the S3 Frontier but used my $200 promotion to get the Galaxy Watch. This battery is waaaayyyyyy 100x better than the Frontier and it looks even better to me

With my Gear S2 Classic I'm still getting 1.75-2 days use out of a single battery charge. Depends on whether I worked out our not.

Now that you mention it, no.

To be honest, probably more like 1-1.5 days. It usually comes off charge around 7:30am and by 10p or so, and I usually will have around 55%. My assumption is that it would last at least another 12 hrs after that but I put it in the charger when I get home.
