some good tips here, i was able to find a couple more things i hadnt tweaked yet. thanks mate

This was super helpful, thank you! I had researched articles on the topic of how to increase battery life, but nothing nowhere near this thorough or helpful.

Thx for this. Just bought my son the galaxy watch and was concerned that battery was draining super quick. Thx for the tips

Excellent tips. Btw, when you choose an app from the circular menu, you don't have to tap the little icon. Just tap the name area on the centre of the screen to open it. No need to try to tap little icons which can be awkward with big fingers!

Great insight into all these features. Thanks!! I am seriously considering this watch and will refer back to this video for these settings.

Absolutely brilliant👍 recommend doing this for everyone I've just changed watch out for a new one and had to repeat the same process again, 🤘

Thxs for the TY video got my first smart watch for Christmas Galaxy watch I'm enjoying it very much, Bluetooth version.

I took several good ideas for extending battery life from this video...Thanks!

1. Closing apps manually won't save battery life. The OS is quite capable of doing that by itself. 2. Turning off BT doesn't save power because it's energy consumption is minimal by design. 3. Location is only used when using location based services. Turning it off isn't smart. If you follow all these recommendations you end up using your smart watch like a tamagochi. Is that smart?

Right - the Location thing is a holdover from Android 2.x as is closing apps.

I agree. What's the point of getting a SMARTWATCH? If your focusing only to save battery life better buy a real classic watch instead. Smartwatch is a smartwatch.

I'm disappointed I didn't read this comment before turing off the BT on my watch Arrggh!😡 So mad. this morning it wasn't connecting with my phone . I spend an 45 mins with customer service. They couldn't figure out what was the problem WHY my phone couldn't connect with my watch. . I was about to get it shipped off to get it repair. But then On my own🤔 I figure it out. It stop working after turning off the Bluetooth on the watch. Duh 😧. Once I turn it back on and had to reset the watch. it work again!. Geesh.

Trish Holbrook works perfect now. I left Bluetooth on as I wanted it to work with iPhone when getting calls . Changing all the Notifications and brightness made a big difference . 25% battery loss in 8 hrs made a huge difference compared to 100% in 4 🤦‍♂️. It’s great now that i can look at my watch for text and calls 👍

Thanks for the video, I have been struggling with the battery on this watch and I hope these changes help. I was hoping you were going to mention Shealth and its impact on the battery as that is the highest usage of battery according to the watch.

Thanks looking forward to receiving my Galaxy watch and applying these battery saving methods. Saddly I'm in Canada and I only receive my preorder on the 21st of September... Keep up the good content!

Hi! I found your video very helpful. My watch battery has been very quickly dying in the past couple days. I think maybe the battery is dying. But I will re-watch your video and check the things you suggested. The watch is just under 2 years old. I think it's the same as yours. Thanks for all the little nuances to check. I did not know about quite a few of them, or how to turn them off.

Thank you. Very informative. My battery has been draining very fast. I think It was because I had spotify running AND LTE. My phone is always with me unless I'm at the gym and I leave it in the locker.

It made me think. My battery died, (I hope), and I decided to change it. I will follow you advice of saving use of the battery with the new one. Good job, thanks.

My watch is just a nice looking tool, meant to keep my phone safe at work. I charged it once, 4 days ago and had 18% left. The watch charged really quickly too. Now, I just turn it off at night. Lol, I couldn't see myself sleeping with this 46mm anyway. It's way more watch than I need but it looks great and works perfectly. Great tips here! I think I'm the only one that likes the watch version of Bixby. Not so much on the phone though.

Nice video! How can i get the battery % widget in my Galaxy Watch?

I had set most of these, but I didn't know you could turn Bixby off. So far it seems useless. I'm torn on the heart rate, Once I'm done playing with it so much I may set it to frequent, but for now it will stay off. An extra tip i'm sure turning off the ticking sound helps save some battery.

Hi, how do I stop the watch from dimming. beside the always on menu which still makes it dim after 5min

Hi. I want to use the LTE (i.e, eSIM) on this watch linked to primary SIM on my Samsung Note 9, and also enable bluetooth (at the same time) connected to my iPhone 8. Will I be able to do this (i.e., use LTE and bluetooth) and get calls, notifications from both Note9 and iPhone?

Please tell me, how many hours does the clock work in conjunction with bluetooth headphones, when playing back uploaded music to the clock memory?

How do you get the nightstand clock when docked?

Thanks

I am torn between the Bluetooth version & the LTE version - £100 difference is quite steep for just LTE. Can LTE be switched off when you want to? Would having it connected by Bluetooth to your phone switch LTE off or would it prioritise Bluetooth over LTE (making LTE passive not active - reducing battery consumption) ?

@grantharris5246

5 жыл бұрын

LTE has almost 2x the ram so £100 more is a steal tbh

Thank you for the tips. I turned off Bluetooth and had it on network only and it actually ran down the battery faster. I will try to turn off others as suggested because for now my battery only lasts eight hours or less.

@HighTechCheck

Only turn your Bluetooth off when it's not being connected to your phone. If you have your phone connected to your watch by Bluetooth it will use less battery then when it's using cellular. Cellular should only be used when you don't want to bring your phone with you.

Just take out Wake up on gesture. As in this comment I have 26% left and on 3rd day 22hours 38 minutes. And I have 20 hours left in battery life.

With the heart rate sensor set to off, would it still automatically track heart rate during runnning? This is one of the features I am disappointed not to have on my Garmin, as the HR sensor drains a lot of battery.

@Spoochy784

It will still track your heartrate during a workout in the workout app

Does turning off heart rate polling prevent the sleep tracking feature from working properly?

One more tip. Go to settings and find battery and select optimize battery

I always have the gps turned off on my watch and i dont have any issues.

This is great, because my battery life currently is 1 day MAYBE.

You have to do a few things to get the battery life you hear about on those KZread video's, even the 46mm version can benefit too. First, choose a simple, old fashion-style watch face (or one with few info widgets). Second, Turn Heart beat detection to ONCE every 10 minutes. Third, turn DOWN the screen brightness to #5 or less. By default the screen brightness is set to #6 or 7. Fourth, Deactivate the ALWAYS ON screen. In fact, switch it turn on when you move your wrist to view the time. Last but not least -Turn off or decrease the GPS usage - GPS on watches can really suck the battery dry, REALLY QUICK! Keep yourself from installing any apps or keep yourself from using apps on watch until you see how long you can use your watch before charging. ALSO, try to turn off the watch at end of your day. Take notice of your battery level at shut off. If you have done all this, you should see your battery levels decline by only about 20-25% per day of use. Once you get close to this goal, you can go crazy using your phone apps..just watch your battery usage so you can estimate how much longer you can go before needing a charge! 42mm typically can get ABOUT 2 Days of light use, 46mm models can get about 4 days. But you will get less than half if you use music apps or make a lot of phone calls or have the GPS always on.

Is there a watch only mode in gear S3?
