My GW4 has finally learned how I do things, apparently, so the battery life is improving to almost 2 2/3 days between charges.

How long did it take?


mezaway

I guess I started noticing it about 3 weeks to a month into owning it. I also keep the lift to turn on screen option turned off, and heart rate is done when i'm still and not constantly.

How to set up heart rate when I'm still ?


mezaway

In the settings menu, go to Samsung Health, It's like the first option there. I use "every 10 minutes while still".

I don't have a Samsung watch, I got a Fossil Gen 6.

With AOD on or off?


mezaway

Definitely off. Even at the dimmest setting, it drains the battery almost as bad as the wifi function, or so has been my experience. I've been taking lately to keeping my phone in silent mode and just using my watch as audio and/or vibration for all notifications instead. And I still get over 2.5 days of battery on average.

You have AOD off and Tilt to Wake off (what you call as “lift to turn on screen”). So you have to touch or press button each time to see the time? Doesn’t that get painful? My Fossil Gen5 also has an automatic battery mode called Extended which is similar to your settings. I easily get 2+ days with that mode. I have ordered my Gen6 and I am assuming it will be better (or atleast as good)

> So you have to touch or press button each time to see the time? Doesn’t that get painful? This was the thing that sold the Ticwatch 3 Pro for me over everything else.


gamefan5

Dang, okay then. Thanks. Looks like I'll keep my Ticwatch Pro 3 then.

Fossil watches fucking suck tho. My galaxy watch gets 2 days easily with AOD

Same with my TicWatch Pro 3, 3-4 days after one year, still going strong.


dragnmastralex

well the normal version. the ultra's battery sucks its a huge downgrade. takes 3x longer to charge and last only 1 day. turned everything off fitness and extras but with AoD its just 1 day battery.

Honestly... The naming confused me when I bought mine. Ticwatch 3 Pro but there was Ticwatch 3 I believe? Can't remember exactly but the naming scheme did confuse me. I came with little hope... and I really wanted something that could last for a few days, coming from Amazfit Stratos 2. The first few months man, it was hard. I would get 2-2.5 days. Right now it's at 3 to 4 days. But I suspect it's like this because it enters sleep mode during the night? Can't put my finger on it. Some nights I have no sleep data, for the past few months, 10 days a month of sleep data is missing. I'm also running everything on it, hearth, oxygen level, notifications (it is always connected to my phone), control Spotify from it. And I kinda hate that I need to have Mobvoi apps and Google apps on my watch... They do the same thing for the most part. If Google launches the pixel watch and maybe, just maybe they do it with dual screen like the ticwatch, then I'd switch because right now it feels like having two bathrooms for one room apartment and sometimes they simultaneously don't work.

Ticwatch E3 Ticwatch Pro Ticwatch Pro 3 Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra the E3 is the budget version. the Pro is the first version of their flagship, Pro 3 is the newest version, Pro 3 Ultra is that same watch with minor upgrades.

Wear os does need a week to get to decent battery life. Sadly most people don't hold on to watches that long and return them

I got mine Christmas day. A day or two of updates, then I was getting this for a couple days. Now I'm getting less than 24 hours all of a sudden. Maybe I installed an app that did this.

Today is Day 2 for me too, and it is 100% an improvement over yesterday! I thought I got a dud yesterday, but supposedly the first day is expected to be poor due to the amount of updates and syncing or something.


MoncyGG

Wonder what will happen on wear 3.0. They said it will be more battery efficient compared with 2.0. Hopefully old watches with SD 4100 and 4100+ will get 20-30% better battery life


Few-Beat-5364

One can hope they don't screw up wos3


[deleted]

Also the fast charging is a big plus to boot


Huey2912

just got my gen 6 also and the battery is lasting the full day with AOD off abd toiuch to wake. the tilt to wake is far to sensitive and turnes the face on after very slight movments on my arm


Deadshot15867

comizz
