Guys I need your help. I noticed that battery on my Gear 2 is quite weak. I have only a day of use. I connect it with my Note 2 / 4.3 Android. But as I live in Taiwan, I was told to not charge the gear for the first time. Just to run out the battery. Girls in Samsung Shop could barely speak english. Can It be a problem why the battery is so weak now? If so, is there a way to improve the battery?
Why start a new topic about this, when there is already a thread about "Battery Life"?
You know: this forum has a search-function?
gear 2 VERY poor battery life
i bought 4950mAh battery to my galaxy s4 and the percent is not correct somebody have an app that will show me that real percent
I've had my Gear S2 since October, (the sport model), and originally paired it with my Galaxy S6 Edge up until a few weeks ago when I received my S7 Edge. I used to get EXCELLENT full day battery life, like 10+ hours with like 30% left by the end of the day. Long-story short, incredible battery life. But every since I paired it with my new S7, not only does it drain the battery faster, but almost at unrealistic speeds. I'm talking 2 hours max and the battery on the watch is at 30%. I haven't changed anything but pair it with my S7 Edge. I can't imagine what would be causing it, or even how to run a diagnostic to be able and see, but I can't wear my Gear S2 out anymore because its just absolutely killed the battery. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Have you tried factory resetting and repairing with the S7 edge? Could be a Rogue app or something.

Hi
I am considering swapping my Pebble Time to Gear S3.
I am concerned about battery life ( which is 8-9 days with Pebble ). I read that after Tizen 3 S3 battery got worse.
How is it finally ? I do not care about fitness apps or GPS. Mainly I will use S3 as extension for notifications from phone.
I'm a "moderate" users. I use it mostly as a watch, and to check notifications during the day.
probably check the time around 10 times a day, 10-25 email/text/phone call notifications per day.
At the end of the day I typically have 70-72% battery life remaining. I use a mostly black background,
white numbers for the clock.
Tizen 3 will give you 2 days of usage maybe less, used to be 4 days before the update. It is also laggy.
My advice is to wait Gear S4, it is around the corner with better battery, bluetooth 5 and overall hardware.

battery it is draining abnormally fast for me. i get only up to 10 hours just wearing it, usually less. battery stats showing s-health using 60-70% battery even with no heart rate monitoring or workout detection. it is crazy, doesn't samsung test their products any more? tizen 2.* was really good, i got at least 2-3 days out of it easily with all the bells and whistles going on but after 3.* it has been pure misery and seems to be getting worse.

The "problem" I have with the 4, based on "leaks" is they are said to be incorporating a "larger" battery into the wrist strap. IF that ends up being the case, I will probably pass on the Gear 4 because I don't like the "buckle" type resin wrist straps. I prefer the all metal one piece wrist straps.
Maybe they will make two versions. One with the removable/replaceable strap, standard battery, and one with the non removable strap, extended battery.
According to Samsung the battery on the Gear Fit 2 should last 15 days. However, I recently bought one secondhand and the battery is only lasting 2 to 3 days and that is with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi switched off and the display brightness dimmed. I’m guessing this is because it is quite an old smartwatch and the battery is dying.
It may also be that corrosion has occurred due to wetting of the device, which causes abnormal current flow.

According to Samsung the Gear Fit 2 smartwatch was supposed to have 15 days battery life. Did anyone ever get 15 days battery life in the Gear Fit 2?
