Battery drain

[Jaybird11]

Hello community.

After the latest update that I did on my Galaxy watch, the battery seems to be draining a lot faster than before. Does anybody have any suggestions on what might be causing this?

Thank you!

Open Wearable app → Account and backup → Backup data
Click backup

Now, you can click General → Reset
After reset your watch, you can restore watch data from backup.

Monitor your watch if battery still drain fast or not.

Is it the first generation? I can't speak for the newer ones but for my og galaxy watch 46mm I did a reset after the last update and I can get from 5 to 6 and half days depending of usage. For once an update fixed a battery drain lol. I use to only get 3 or less days.

Hi Vape. It's the OG! I've never got that much battery out of one charge. What's the trick? I normally just get a day. Am I doing something wrong?

Well, I don't always have it connect to my phone, maybe a few hours a day. I don't use crazy watch faces that use a lot of ram and tend to lighter on the colours. also, I use good night mode when I **bleep**.

Don't fill the memory on the watch neither this will cause lag and battery drain try and save 250 Mb of storage .

Yes, even if you have most things turned on, my GW 1st gen 46mm can have 3 days battery life. But my wife 42mm only has 2 days since 42mm use small capacity battery.

Used to get 3 or 4 days and now I get about 14 hours since last update and absolutely nothing has changed in watch face or apps.  So hopefully a reset does the trick because this is making it worthless.

Exactly. Kinda regret buying this **bleep** watch!
