    @olymay Hi,

    Thank you mate for the swift response and reassurance.

    I hope the battery will improve, I will certainty give it a week and see if things improve. So far it seems worst then my my Apple Watch S6.

    Btw the watch arrived dead with no battery at all. Not sure if this bad or not?

    Finger crossed!

    Thanks

      @optics-field-test I typically get an easy 48hrs from a charge (although recently i’ve been getting well over 50!)

      I have:
      Always on display OFF
      tilt to wake OFF
      Power saver tilt ON
      Touch to wake OFF
      Auto update ON
      WiFi ON
      NFC ON
      Continuous HR ON
      Sleep tracking ON
      And plenty of notifications throughout the day

      Although recently I haven’t been doing any activity tracking due to an injury. Obviously, activity tracking (especially if using GPS) will affect the battery life.

      You should be easily outlasting any Apple Watch with battery life.

      I got my S7 over 18 months ago, so I can’t remember how it arrived in the box, sorry.

        @olymay WAW that sounds great!

        I am crossing my fingers that mine gets to this stage of battery life.

        I guess like all smart watches they need time to settle down. Finger crossed.

        Did your watch also had worst battery the first couple of days??

        Thanks

            @meazzas9 what operating system are you using? Android or IOS.

            My watch sometimes it disconnect too easily from my IPhone. Only 10 meters away and it’s disconnected.

            I probably should have wifi on Auto but it does kill the battery especially when using for Google store. I tend now update or install an app only if my watch is on charge

              Have you checked the power settings of the phone? Some phone manufactures use aggressive app management to extent battery life. Make sure there isn’t anything killing the Bluetooth connection or the WearOS app.

                Normal usage battery life is anywhere from 1.8 to 2.7% / hr depending on settings and usage. So yes well within the norms, especially as most peoples first week isn’t really normal usage as you are using the watch far more than you normally would, and that beautiful screen loves to suck up the battery.

                      It looks like you are using a Samsung phone, they are well known for aggressive battery and RAM management which can kill processes in the background.
                      Check the battery optimisation settings for WearOS and Bluetooth, make sure they are set to unrestricted.

                      I haven’t used a Samsung phone for years, so are there are any Samsung users here who can help more?

                        @olymay I checked and it looks like the culprit was that I had another Suunto traverse lying near by and powered on. Since I removed the Bluetooth connexion of the traverse and reset the S7 to factory things have been working flawlessly. Also, my battery seem to be amazing now. Off the charge at 9am at 6pm still on 80% with few notifications and checking body battery every now and again. All good so far! Happy days

                              @flypg Thays good to hear 🙂

                              Like I said, it’s been a while since I’ve had a Samsung and they used to kill apps very aggressively (although not as bad as the OnePlus I had before that!).

                              I’m glad to hear that at least key apps are being whitelisted from these lists.

                                @olymay I deleted my previous post because is whitelisted but if you intentionally request, could unblock and add by error the app to some battery optimization mode 🤕 🤒

                                    @meazzas9 you want it to be not optimised for battery life and make sure background process is allowed.

                                      @optics-field-test I leave my WiFi on auto and still get 1.5 to two days if I do not exercise. I typically exercise and will charge the watch when I shower.

                                        @olymay i connected s7 to another samsung phone (A20s) and the battery lasts 2 days.
                                        The previous phone was a samsung A40 (bluetooth 5.0 version with A2DP / LE) while the current one has 4.2 … can this be?
                                        what version of bluetooth do you have?
