I have only had the watch since last Friday; I would have said that I can get a solid 30-36 hours out of it but then something weird happened this morning...
I put the watch on the charger on my nightstand at about 9:30 PM last night. Somewhere around 2:30 - 3:30 AM I awakened for whatever reason and decided to put the watch back on my wrist, partly because I wanted to see if an alarm I had previously set would be able to wake me at 5:15 AM. So, two things: 1) the alarm triggered at 5:15 AM, but the watch did not vibrate as it should have (?), it just flashed the screen. I gave it 30 seconds or so to see if it would eventually begin to vibrate, which it didn't, and then cancelled the alarm by swiping it away. 2) Half an hour later I arrived at my gym and looked at the watch to see the low battery warning - 15% charge remaining. Clearly something was wrong / hung but I have no idea what. I have since recharged and we see how it goes today.
I was at 100% at 7:30 AM, currently at 73% with predicted "21 hrs left" according to the Android Wear app.
Watch face is this one https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...?id=com.watch.richface.digital&token=S3G1eFif, brightness is 4, always on is enabled, and the watchface is set to Full ambient=On which means that the entire face shows with all components (except for seconds) in black background and grey text when in ambient mode (as opposed to Full ambient=Off which displays only a simple 12:34 AM digital display in grey text on black background).
So, even doing everything wrong, I am still getting very respectable battery life.
can you ballpark on how many notifications you get on a typical day?
I use Nine as well! However I ballpark at least a hundred notifications on my phone via my work email and appointment reminders... but didn't have an issue with my moto 360 before.40 or more? I have my work email coming in through Nine ( https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...details?id=com.ninefolders.hd3&token=oebowOvB ), my Gmail account plus several texts and occasional junk like Accuweather warnings and so on.
Always on and 24 hours life
I wonder what's wrong with my watch now. Just did a factory reset and will see how it work tomorrow.
went off the charger at 7 a.m. and it's now 1 p.m. I have brightness set at 4, wifi on, always on and still have 73% batter left. Yesterday at this time I had like 30 % with always on turned off, no wifi and brightness set at 3. So I guess something was draining the battery and a factor reset fixed the issue.
