Hello all.
Recently purchased my Galaxy Watch 46mm as new, began setting up and also applied the latest software update. The battery life is not anywhere near what has been claimed publicly. I have had the watch one week, and am paying close attention to what I'm using app-wise.
Points to note;
With these settings I am lucky to get 48hrs. It's more often I will get 36.
Another key point, last night I left it on Goodnight mode, sat on my bedside table. It used 25% battery overnight.
Yes have rebooted the watch, and the phone.
Any ideas or help is appreciated, thanks in advance

CONFIRMED:
Bluetooth is the power-drain.
The watch has now consistently remained usable for minimum 3 days.
Samsung can you please update the Bluetooth functionality? You publicly claim battery life of 3 to 4 days but this is simply not possible with your current Bluetooth power requirement. I was happy to pay extra for your product because of their use-claims. Now, I feel like I've wasted hundreds of pointless extra dollars. Far from happy

More to report.
I have turned off Bluetooth altogether. I set the watch to airplane mode whilst not wearing it overnight. I am close to the end of day two and the battery level is at a healthy 70%. I'm happy to learn the source of the drain. Not happy that it impacts heavily on why I purchased, and how I wanted to use this watch.

Will feed the bluetooth issue back to Samsung and hope there is a resolve at some point soon. Thank you for your feedback.

Snap ! I have a new one. I'm getting 3days 12 hrs indicated after a full charge. I'm gradually turning lots of the apps off ie workout detection etc. But not getting anywhere near the 7 days advertised. If connected to the phone is a drain..whats the point of a wearable? Any ideas..?
