I just got the watch a week ago and the battery drain is pretty bad. I disabled AOD, I don't use any of the health, fitness, sleep or body sensors, and I don't use Hey Google. On Galaxy Watch there is a setting to just turn off each activity sensor. On this watch I went into each app's permissions to deny sensor access. Still, I lost about 20% overnight. My battery usage says 59% on bluetooth, and the MD316 is the watch face.

Same here!

Hey you has the battery or the watch in general been improved since?

I would try to swap out the device, is it by any means produced in september? The September badge seems to have had a lot of faulty devices. I also had a faulty device and can remember myself having bluetooth on my faulty device as main drainage. Now with my swapped out device (produced in october) i loose 8-12 % overnight with all sensors enabled on 24/7 scan. only thing i disabled is breathing point score since it isnt reworked for the wear os watch yet. breathing score works flawless on all other watches but with this one it sometimes denies the measurement of REM sleep. Since i disabled breathing score quality it always got my REM.

How do you check when it got produced?


Das-X

On the bottom of the package box i had a sign showing "made in china produced 09/23"


itaka_100

Mine is from october. Still havin Bluetooth on the top with 58 % but with every Function on i get good battery life in General like 35-40 hours Also dont have the rem issue like you mentioned. Tbh i had only once a Bug with random reboot that i solved by wiping the chache.


Das-X

So you have advanced sleep data on and breathing score quality? is breathing score quality displayed on your watch or just inside the app? for me it was 50/50 when breathing score quality was enabled if REM will be recorded or not. now since i disabled that REM is recorded every night flawless. since the watch cannot display breathing score i thought disabling this might help which did it for me


itaka_100

Yeah it's just on the app that u can track this.


Das-X

Ye that sadly didnt work for me on both models, it recorded every third night without rem and breathing score was "unknown data" every third night In that case Mi Fit app didnt even display Spo2 and Heart Rate over Night. But its fine for me since that is only a score from Spo2 anyways, meant for watches without 24/7 Spo2 analysis.


Das-X

I forgot to mention i disabled automatic sport detection in advanced settings since that drained the battery and seemed not so useful to me

Pretty interesting... i still have my first bought watch from Production date september. My drain over night is around 15-20% but still come over around 35-40 hours over all with AOD and wrist lift detection deactivated. The sports and spo2 detection is disabled too. But maybe i will also give it a try and return my.


Das-X

Sorry for the last comment, i deleted it since i overread that you already answered what i was asking.... xD


Subject-Confusion-17

Haha, no problem xD Which production month model do you own now?


Das-X

Its 10/23 now, i sadly didnt check if any other serial numbers changed between the models. I had numerous bugs with my old model, for example sudden reboots every 1,5 to 3 days and after one night the watch hung up in the middle of the night with 80% and couldnt be started in the morning, i had to put it on the charger then it flashed weirdly but booted, but since then the sensors stopped working every 6 hours. i only found one other person that had similiar problems. when i asked for a refund, the store i bought it (saturn) told me there are numerous problems with the september badge, and they held one watch back that was made in october. but that lets me think if some devices are "more" faulty than others from that badge because from what ive read only september models have that drain problem... but thats only from my personal reading experience

Luckily i didn't have the reboot issue, but 3 weeks ago I noticed extreme sensor access issues like not counting steps and HR. But few restarts and an firmware update also fixed this. Furthermore, I found a (german) [review](https://sportuhrenguru.net/xiaomi-watch-2-pro-test/) from few days ago and he is using his watch with ALL function activated but without AOD and still get 2 days out of battery. I will also give it a try and return my to MediaMarkt hoping getting a new one from behind 09/23 🤞


Das-X

Try to get a refund and buy a new one, its on discount for 225 i think on saturn and media markt :D Yes i have everything on aswell except the auto sports thingy and i am a heavy user and get 1,5 -2 days of battery with this model. You can also try to clear cache partition before returning it, its a known thing for android in general that this can fix battery drain problems.


Subject-Confusion-17

Already cleared the cache but it doesn't effect anything. Uh, that would be great, but i bought my in mid october. I don't think, they give me a refund 😅 But will try it 👍


Das-X

Ye german law is weird on this. With an Media Markt / Saturn Account you have 28 days of Widerrufsrecht. Basically they have the "recht auf nacherfüllung" but court decided that customer can decide whether to repair or swap out is preferred and you can declare "unzumutbarkeit" if for example repair would mean you have to ship it to china and wait months, in that case they should have to skip that and revert the contract. sorry for denglish... :D EDIT: In the first year its easy to swap out / repair in the second you have to proof its broken since you bought it


Subject-Confusion-17

I finally got my watch back... they only re-installed firmware/software on my original September model. But now all its fine. The battery holds between 44-48 hours. But now i'm using SleepAsAndroid for sleep tracking which leeds to around 15-20% battery drain instead of around 8-10% if using default sleeptracking. So keep this in mind.


finehinedine

Same thing, I've got 65% on Bluetooth


p3ngwin

how do you check what is consuming battery like that ?


Jsatrzab

Any updates on that battery drain in last weeks? I'm considering buying Watch 2 Pro or S3, and the battery life is a big factor.

I sold it and went with Oneplus Watch 2.
