Watch 7 and 8 tips

GeoffAnderson — Thu, 21 Aug 2025 10:38:49 GMT

Hi members , I've seen a lot of posts about battery life on the watch ultra 7 and 8 . I have a few tips that may help extend your battery, these will work for the classic too.

Turn off WiFi, you definitely don't need it connected.

Reduce screen brightness to 50% or less , it will definitely save battery.

Disable the AOD , unless you really need it , pick a face that has minimal functionality.. the more complex the higher usage.

Any apps you aren't using uninstall, keep only the ones you intend using.

Finally switch off lift to wake , again unless you need it, over the course of a day it burns through a lot of battery.

Thanks for reading, I hope at least some of these are useful.

Biggest benefit I found was the WiFi you're right and using a native predominantly dark Samsung watch face over one from the Play Store. Some 3rd party are relatively well optimised (Typically in similar styles to the Pixels) but they still won't get you a lot of days like a Samsung one.

Switch stress measuring to manual only , unless you love to check your levels all day which could cause stress 🤣

Doing all of these things, we may as well purchase a £10 digital Casio 😂
I have everything SHEALTH max, AOD off, wake screen off, barely get 2 days on my Ultra.

I like to OP suggestion about WIFI as most places i actually need WIFI (gym, etc...) the Watch cannot connect as it requires a sign in.

I would add for LTE devices, turn of Modile Data.

Thanks OP, turning off WIFI as we speak, will feedback 🙏
