Fully charged it until Saturday morning unplugged it at 09:00.
During Saturday a lot of playing around checking out different apps when finally settle for the following:
Calc by Pacosal
Dialer by Eir3
Send SMS by Eir3
Log for Smartwatch by Eir3
WatchIt! by Jonas Pettersson
WebBrowser by Vaggan (For fun, not very useful, but so cool to browse on the phone!!)
SmartWeather by Alexander Zakharyan
Poweramp Control Pro by Vasily Kiniv
Call handling, Messages and Calendar reminder by Sony
Endomondo is also there as I have Endomondo Pro
Also bought Augmented Smartwatch Pro by Augmented Views, but there is a bit of a learning curve on that one, too much information on the display and too little information on how to get what you really want on the display.
Used it to control PowerAmp for a while, played with it quite a lot on Saturday.
Left it on the whole night without charging it.
Today I got up at 08:40, and been using it to control the music while I was out driving, This afternoon I was out walking for one hour checking Endomondo on the Watch regulary.
Now at 15:00 I still have 50% battery left, so I'd say this looks promising.
I don't have a problem charging overnight each day, but it is nice to know how good it is on battery.
i get 5 days of use easily, with normal use, i do switch the watch off at night, because i don't want it to wake me if i get a mail in the middle of the night
i would like it tho, if the watch gets turned off, my phone changes profile, so it rings with the watch switched off, but doesnt when the watch is turned on and connected
2 and a half solid days
after approx 54 hours I got a 15% warning and 5 hours later a 10% warning

With an HTC One I got 4 days being left on all the time with fairly regular notifications. Seems good enough. If I switch it off at night, I can probably last a week.
I got almost 4 days too with note 2

I have my sw2 paired with the LG G2 and it lasts me about 2 full days always on. I dont see myself getting better times unless I just dont use it.
Update....yesterday my watch only lasted for about 18 hours. this morning I changed from the digital watch face to the white analog with date. within in the past fours hours I have noticed a huge improvement in battery life.

I get 2 days without swithching it off too. This is kinda dissapointing since sony claims 3-4 and even 6 days lith light use.
I use my sw2 with sgs2, i wonder if thats relevant to the battery life.
Another thing ive noticed, I get almnost no diference in bat life when disabling vibrations, changing brightness and stopping notifications. Basicaly i get 2 days with heavy use and 2 days with light use.
Maybe this means most of the battery is drained via BT?

I'm on my 3rd day with galaxy note 3 on light use I mainly use it with my poweramp music player and mainly for emails texting and calls etc. My battery is halfway right now. I turn it off when I go sleep. Not because I don't want to waste battery but who checks the time while they sleep on a watch who wears a watch to sleep with to begin with. And when you sleep it would vibrate on ya arm? Then what you wake up at 2a.m. to check a message? Yea ok in conclusion the life is pretty good and worth it.

Overall, it's pretty normal especially if you don't turn it off at night, some differences in battery life among smartphones could be due to different BT radio and stack, possible BT power saving features, and, at a less extent but not least, the medium distance between the SW2 and the phone.

Thought the s4 needed an official thread for this. That way, we get a variety of types of users and people can see what type of battery life they can expect and plan accordingly.
Please include a screenshot & also list what battery you are using, and if applicable any custom rom or hacks implemented that effect battery life at all.
I believe you can take a screenshot by using the power & home buttons at the same time, correct me if im wrong.
I.e. stock battery, cyanogenmod 11, 9505 verizon

I'll have to post a screen later as I didn't take one when I woke up this morning. But I actually forgot to put my phone on the charger lastnight as I fell asleep. Woke up with 13% left on the battery after 17 hours of it being on. Over 4 hours of screen on time this is Stock no root with the stock battery after 1 full charge Sprint SGS4. Texting all day after the full charge installing apps was on WiFi for awhile and just in general playing with the Camera and settings just getting a feel for the phone.
This is after the first full drain and charge cycle. I'm content with this. It'll likely get better as well.

Here is mine : 4h20 with 20% remaining, 2nd charge.
I reckon you guys should be getting 6hrs easily. I am getting 5 and a half on my One, although I must admit a number of posters on the One forum are saying they are getting poor results. A number of 2 - 4 hours screen time. Do you think the extra real estate is making a difference. Do you think the extra battery size will nullify the extra real estate? Will be very interested to see how much of a difference there is between the octa and the snapdragon.

Today I dropped mine down to 12%, with just under 3 hours of screen time. I had data, NFC, wifi, and sync on the entire time. I thought it would do a bit better than this, luckily I am going to pick up a new Anker replacement battery on Tuesday.
The difference likely wont be effected a huge amount between exynos and snapdragon , maybe 30 minutes (probably less lol) if I had to guess. Chances are a snapdragon with battery saving mode will outperform (battery wise of course)an exynos without battery saving mode enabled.
Im using a droid 3 with the screen set to 8.6% brightness.... running steeldroid gingerbread rom which is fairly minimalistic and it gets worse battery life than any of these other people.
Im just glad I wont be wasting a ton of battery waiting for it because its so slow and it dumps memory all the time because it only has 512mb ram lol
I didnt take screen shots but my first full charge got me about 14 hours with 10% left. I intentionally left power savings off and turned off all air and smart functions because I don't use them.
Today is my 2nd charge and im at about 6 hours with 52% left (screenshot). A few phone calls, text, pictures, & 2 hours of spotify in the car. Again, power savings is off. So are all the air and smart features. Brightness around 35%.
S4 on Sprint.

On my Note 2 and S4, battery saving is turned on all the time except the heavy games (even on Note 2 I can play real racing fluidly with battery saving)
Smart features I turn on hovering feature only
This is my S4 battery screen on time after the first charge. 5h45m with still 19% left.
- Battery saving: Off
- Version CPU: Octa
- Screen on time used: Surf web with 3G on.
- No root and don't remove any apps.
- Temperature via battery widget monitor: only 31,5-32,7 °C
Can I get an opinion? This is while driving around los angeles all day. About 3h30m screentime, but probably another hour or so of google music and podcasts playing with the screen off. I turned battery saving and green power on at about 40%.
Had about a 15 minute jump charge when I was at 18% before I drove home. I have major audio_out2 and directtrack partial locks, but I figured that was the podcasts.

I have had the SW2 since Tuesday. I charge it at night and at 7:30 am I take it off charge. By 7pm every night (12 hours later) it is about to die. I have to recharge it to use it until about 10pm when I plug it in for the night. I have the weather installed on never refresh, Missed calls, Call handling and watchit. I dont use the watch that much. Normal use. Were is this 3 to 4 day battery life sony is saying??
I replied to your other post not repeating myself here
That doesn't sound normal. I did notice that the watch battery drains quick when my phone and watch are separated by a large distance. With a large distance I mean different rooms in a concrete building.

battery is Android build dependant
Here is an update.
I've got a replacement since the first sw2's screen got ugly dark spot.
The new one also had about 2 days of battery, then I updated to newer cyanogen version and voila, 3-4 days of battery easily achieved.
Then I changed my S2(i9100) for Moto G. The moto g has original kitkat and the battery life on my sw2 droped to ~1day. phone's battery was also about a day, without sw2 connected it can easily do 2-3 days! my S2 running cm11( kitkat 4.4.2 ) was fine.
Soo, obviously the battey life is very much rom dependant. sony's software works works well with some roms and not so well with others!
regards.
Mine is receiving a charge at the end of every 4th day. I'm not turning it off at night.
I'm using one of the original watchfaces and it has the same behavior with the nexus4 and the Z1C I'm using.
As set of apps installed, the ones waking up the watch are the notification apps: Email, Messaging and Watchify ...
I have mine connected to a Moto G running KitKat and only get 1 day maximum out of the watch

On a G2 with 4.2.2, I consistently got close to 3 days with normal use (with all call handlings, notifications, weather etc working normally). With the 4.4.2 update, I am seeing a bit higher power drain, so I'm looking at about 2 days of full time use. Will try the latest SW2 f/w update and report....

After reading multiple reviews with excellent battery benchmarks, I WAF super excited. It is being compared to tablets.
I am yet to see that sort of battery life and have been fixing wake locks on random applications since I bought the phone. Still trying to figure some out (calendar storage)?
Also, S Health components and other apps are force closing from time to time.
What has your experience been like?

I'm having excellent battery life, and cant wait for better kernels to be available. Was at hour and a half screen on when this was taken, and hours of streaming sirius. Im happy so far
Not at all impressed. Got 3 hours of screen time to 50% before the battery tanked after that. Im guessing I can hit 5 hours of screen time...which is the same as my m7. Very disappointing so far.
Currently right now, off the charger for 57 minutes. A whopping 9 minutes of screen time....already down to 96%. 4.1%/h burn.
Does this phone stop charging once it hits 100%? Cause it sure as hell seems like it.
Compared to the g2 its kind of a disappointment, but it's not horrible. Got 16 hours with 2 and a half screen along with a couple hours of bluetooth music and some YouTube videos. Try turning of location services when not using, because thats a huge battery hog. I really wish google would fix that. Usually when android system is ahead of screen thats because location services.

I'm not sure what kind of battery life you guys are trying to get with this phone. You have a bunch of features and 1080p hd screen that im pretty sure is pulling lots of power and well the battery is 2800mah so of course its really not going to compete much with the G2 3000mah battery.
I have a G flex i decided to yea take a 720p display over a 1080p display because battery was more important to me, i hated taking my charger everywhere with me or carrying 2 extra batteries like really that's not normal and some folks think it is lol. I took a sacrifice on this phone but i love the battery no more taking chargers or extra batteries lol.
Thats with normal usage browsing the web, couple of YouTube videos, about 3 episode of shows on netflix and alot of pandora and music player especially for the gym.

Had some pretty decent battery life yesterday at work in my opinion.
Streamed a movie, like 2 ocean docs, 3 animal planet shows all on netflix, and watched an hour of people streaming on twitch. plus synced exchange, gmail, and texting all day as usual. Brightness was at 50% and no power saving options on.
I'm surprised you guys are having such bad luck with the battery. I played Bloons TD5 the other day for 2 hours on LTE connection with about 75% brightness and only went down 15%.
SMH...
I see some of these post and makes me wonder how many truely have the phone...
You guys getting 12 hours on your phone must be living on it. I unplugged it at 7am and messed with it all day (I work from home) getting everything on it and where I wanted it. Checking out Real Racing 3 for an hour and a half. Surfing for 4 hours while watching a movie and basketball game. Went to bed at 11:30 pm and it still had 53%. Not sure what you guys are doing on it?? I'm guessing you need to get a job and watch porn on your tablet or laptop. hahaha This battery is waaaaay better than my S4 and about 30% better than my LG G2. Really happy with it so far.:good:
I seriously have never been able to get above 2.5 hours of on screen time neither on this phone nor my other phones I've had. I don't get it. Service in my area sucks could that be why my battery life is so bad? I'm amazed seeing anyone with above 3 hours of on screen time. I don't know what I could possibly be doing wrong.

Do I have a crappy sd card or is it possibly a bad config? I just backed up all the content, and formatted using the built in utility.
There were a couple of programs that installed to sd, i wonder if having those on internal memory and only using sd for photos and music will make a difference.
I just put the empty card back in, and will post results if it made a difference.

I agree its better but I was expecting better. I download torrents on it, surf, play games, then enable the battery saver and I can get 10-12hrs off it. I agree its better than the S3 or S4 however many were expecting more.

The promotion is what made me not care. $175 worth of kit?! Yes please! But now having it and getting over 4 hours SOT, I'm very satisfied. Also, you hit the nail on the head. TWO screens, six inches of it, and over 4 HOURS SOT.... I'll take it!
If you look at the notes five forums you will see that to begin with everyone was complaining about battery life, however after short time everybody calmed down after the battery settled down. Has been the same with every device I have ever owned. Battery life takes a few days to reach efficiency.

Only seeing really is screen see to auto brightness . other than that I'm just using the phone. Nothing special.
I'm getting about 4 hours with Waze, screen at around 20-30 brightness, sync and data on. Standby time is awesome. On my first charge for example, I got 4 hours minimal use from 8%!! That was on wifi though and since it was first charge, it's not very objective info.
My phone is not going into deep sleep worth a damn. It almost seems like it is Bluetooth related (I leave BT on 24/7 - haven't had a problem in previous devices). Once I shut off BT, it seems to be sleeping, but I need to test it more. The phone isn't connected to anything. I just leave BT idling for when I get into my car basically... don't like having to turn it on/off, just like WiFi. Battery stats are showing that Android System is what is staying awake though, and not BT. Anyone else having a problem like this?
I get just ok battery life. Seems better than my G4(which I only had for 5 days. Still my Nexus 6 and old Note 5 seemed to be a lot better

Here is my results
Hi can I ask what kind of battery life are you guys getting?
I've had my classic for about 2 weeks and i cant get a full day out of it. This along with a very unreliable notification system is making me very frustrated I'm thinking about just returning this warch.
This was aan open box item from best buy but i already did a full reset and keep having issues with notifications not showin up and sometimes like today about 6 or 7 hours of battery life before it completely dies.
Thanks for any suggestions

Thanks I guess this one is just a lemon maybe that was why it was an open box in the first place.
It will go back tomorrow, a shame it's a nice design and i liked it but it is unusabkes as it is now.

I have the same issues with unreliable notifications, but mine was purchased from T mobile. i have read about this as a common issue. Battery life has always been good.

I read somewhere that completely uninstalling the gear app and doing a factory reset helps with the notifications. I did that today and auddenly my whattsapp notification started ahowing up.
I will tes it for a couple of more days befora making a final decision about keeping it or returning it (taking adavantage of best buys extebded holiday return terms until jan)
Thanks

I get 3 at a squeeze 4, but not 24/7, but I use it for 12-14hrs and switch it off at night.
No sleep function so no point keeping it on.
Shame my Gear 2 got 5 days 24/7 at squeeze

No as in nearly running out of battery.
My basic setings are - BT/WIFI on, Brightness to 4, Screen sensor off, no power saving, HR set to moderate, every notification on (about 21 in total), screen time out 15 secs, but all standard watch faces, as I always find the 3rd party one (in Mr Time) suck you battery.
Still trying to find a way to stop the pedometer, as the Gear 2 it is useless and incorrect and I find consumes battery.

I turn on my classic at 8am and by 8pm I still have over 60% battery, consistently. Connected by bt. Wifi and NFC turned off. Power saving mode is off. Max brightness. Mostly using it for time and notifications only though (no music, video, or games on the watch usually)
I lose about 50% over 24 hours. I keep it on at night and use it as my morning alarm. I charge when getting ready for bed. Always go to bed with 100% and end the day with 50% +/- 5%.
I haven't had any problems with notifications. The S2 always vibrates immediately after my phone receives a notification.
Ok sorry for being mute dor a couple of days but i wanted to make sure before I posted my update:
After doing (yet) another facto3y reset of the gear AND uninstallong the gear app in my note 4 ... the change is astounding, literally night and day!!!
I'm now getting at least two full days of battery on the watch. Notificatioa are for the most part working as expected.
I guess the gear app was stuck doing something with the phone and was causing the battery drain and by uninstalling it the peoblem went away.
I'm really happy now... and to think I was "this" close to returning my gear classic.
I'm a happy camper now
