battery life is rubbish

[Bewt]

Hi can anyone help me I had the active 2 watch for Christmas last year and have to say I loved the freedom of not having to have my phone in my pocket at all time and still being able to stay in contact with everyone. But i am really  not happy with the battery life. It dont even last the day. So due to this reason I have only used the watch a handful of times. Am I doing something qrong?? I was thinking of getting the up to date version but I don't want to be disappointed 😕. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank

Hey @Bewt , the battery life of your watch will depend on how it is used. Have you been using the official Samsung charger and cable that came with the watch to charge it? Also, check for any software updates for your smartwatch: Galaxy Wearable app on your connected device > About Watch > Update Watch Software > Update Now. Also, The following may cause the battery to drain quickly:

- Having the screen brightness set to max

- Leaving applications open and running

- Running background services, such as location tracking, heart rate monitoring, or other activity tracking features
