very bad battery life

[Kalvin Kerns]

So today I just lost 40% battery in roughly 2 hours. I have never seen problems like this except when I was using Face which I'm not. I am taking Watchmaker premium and never seen battery issues before. Anyone else see this problem today?

I have the Frontier LTE. I ONLY have this big of a drain when I go to a location where the phone service is bad or there is no service. Even if I have my phone with me the watch seems to constantly look for a signal. I have been in a conference room at work for a meeting for 1 hour and seen my battery drain 20 - 30%. I now recognize some of the locations that I have little reception so I have learned to put my watch in airplane mode during that time.

Hmm well recently my work has had really bad reception, but my watch is Bluetooth only.

Could be other app like Weather forecast?

Perhaps, or what about my new Galaxy S8 and Bluetooth 5.0?

You could try uninstalling and reinstalling the GS3.

My battery life wasn't that great, but I checked the usage this morning and found that Spotify had consumed 56% of my battery! I hadn't even opened the app on my watch yet.

Did that and things got right again for a few days, but now it's weird again. Went thru 11% battery in less than an hour this morning, than I restarted it and I GAINED 1% back... That makes no sense!

Mine just died after about 8 hours of use roughly. I looked when it was at like 15% and 40% was used by watch faces. I have the stock black watch face with the 4 areas to put different things. I have battery percentage, world time, steps, and weather in the different spots. I charged it last night. I have spend most of my day at my desk and when I wasn't my phone was on my hip, I didn't even have it connect through WiFi like I've done on other days. Yesterday it updated the Samsung Connect app.

I'm only losing about 25% a day. I've been putting mine on the charger each evening when I get home (I'm usually sitting around for dinner and prepping for work the next day, so a big deal). It tops the watch off for bed so I can track my sleep and gets me through the next day.

I had that happen yesterday. My watch unexpectedly went into power saving mode. Last I remember looking at it I had plenty of battery and hadn't done much with it. I remember thinking earlier in the day how well the battery was doing. I don't have the LTE version.

It seems to be back to normal usage today.

I reset mine last week and it seems to have fixed my problem. For now lol.

I have to reset my watch every 1-2 weeks for something. This time it was all my cards showing white/blank I'm Samsung Pay. This time I decided to try not restoring from backup. Maybe the backups are corrupting my watch?
