      @james-wylie seen a similar comment on Reddit. Haven’t experienced it myself.

        Anybody noticed an improvement to battery life. Used to get between 2 - 2.5% with AOD on & touch to wake (non suunto face / using marine commander).

        Noticed that this week I am pretty much always much closer to the 2% mark if not slightly better, where previously was often closer to 2.5% mark. Seems that since the last wear os update might be getting a 0.5% /hr improvement on battery life. And while I know that isn’t massive (about 0.5 day extension); if I am correct, its interesting to see that H MR2 and wear os updates are finally starting to show the anticipated improvements.

          Yup! I charged to 100% as of 19:00pm yesterday, 19hrs later I’m on 75% (drain of less than 1.5%/hr - I feel I was closer to 2.5 to 3% per hour prior to this last couple of weeks)

          WearOS app suggesting I could get another 3 days 😳 (although I’ll charge to full before and then after a run tomorrow evening).

            @jamie-bg I get 2 days per charge with mine. Can’t say I noticed much difference.

                  @andrea-antonio-guadalupi if I don’t use the GPS then I am getting over 70 hours of battery life from mine.

                  If you are only getting 19 hours then either you are tracking lots of activities (bravo if so!) or you need to look into what apps are draining your battery.

                  Do you have any third party apps installed? If so, which ones?

                    @olymay also check gesture settings. Tilt to wake doesn’t with for me (wakes up watch too much), touch to wake works better.

                      @jamie-bg I use tilt to wake (with power saver tilt) as I may be a tech geek, but I’m still a traditionalist and want to be able to look at my watch using just one hand 😉

                        @olymay I use always on and get 2 days if no activity. I like to see the time without having to perform a gesture. 2 days with always on is pretty good.

                          @aleksander-h Agreed!

                          With no activity (I haven’t done much recently while recovering from injuries) I was getting over 70 hours, with my best at 78hrs!!!

                          This was 100% to 5%

                          Remove overnight (7 hrs)
                          Tilt to wake on
                          Power saver tilt
                          Full notifications (i get a lot of these as well!)
                          Auto brightness

                          This watch is a battery beast! No other smartwatch I have had has even come close to this!

                            My Samsung Gear Sport did slightly better. It was a terrible sports watch though. The GPS on that thing was all over the place.

                              @aleksander-h No offense to Samsung watches, but with the lack of third party apps (I know there are some, but it only some, not like Apple or Google (in fact I think Garmin has more than Samsung!)) I am reluctant to call them a full smartwatch. But that’s just me 🙂

                                Will be interesting to see if they do make the switch to WearOS.

                                  @aleksander-h I really hope they do.

                                  Samsung hardware has always been great (and WOW I love that rotating bezel!) but Tizen has been a bit of a flop and has really held their watches back (in my opinion!)
                                  I would have bought one years ago but for the lack of key Google apps (Google Pay being the main one!).

                                  There are also reports of a Pixel Watch coming soon (I know these rumours have been around since the beginning of time, but these are finally starting to sound almost believable), so WearOS might start to get some solid support and development.

                                  This would only be a good thing for all consumers 🙂

                                    @olymay I use AOD on, so tilt/touch not required to see the time.

                                      So you have the screen on at all times? I used to use this as it’s nice to easily glance at the time. However I find that even the minimum brightness is still too bright when it gets dark, so I turned it off.

                                        It would be REALLY GOOD if there was a scheduled night-time mode.
                                        (timing could even be automated - switch to night 1hr after sunset, switch to normal 1hr before sunrise or something).

                                        In my imagination, this night-time mode would disable any tilt to wake function, so in bed you would only get the screen displaying by touching a button, but then during day you could just power-save tilt (or whatever other mode you prefer) to see time, or have AOD on during the ‘non night time’ as you prefer.

                                        In fact now sleep tracking seems to be arriving next week this should be an even more obvious feature to add. The watch knows you’re asleep, so why would screen ever liven up?!

                                          @nigel-taylor-0 This would be a really great idea! Especially if the timing could be set manually (as in the winter sunset is around 1600hrs where I am).

                                          Maybe it could use the upcoming sleep detection to determine you are asleep and turn the screen off?

                                          Maybe we should transfer this to a separate thread, as I feel we have gone somewhat off topic :-S

                                            @olymay - put DND and cinema mode on when I go to bed - part of my nightly routine, so no the watch face being AOD on when sleeping doesn’t disturb me as turned it off. Plus move around a bit when I sleep which would probably activate the tilt functionality so best option is cinema mode to switch off screen.
                                            If on my wrist while sleeping I then also use lock touch screen.

                                            This is why I would love the ability to customize my quick settings (never use find my phone).
