Galaxy Watch 46mm poor battery life

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;

  • Watch NOT set to always-on
  • Connects via Bluetooth to iPhone 8s.
  • Have stopped using Bluetooth headphones, and Spotify.
  • No apps running in background, I always close them off after use.
  • Using GPS only for location, not GPS & WiFi.
  • When recording activity (walking), high accuracy GPS is NOT turned on.
  • Recorded activity is 1hr a day
  • Am turning on goodnight mode, not wearing to bed and recording sleep.
  • WiFi set to auto.


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

Same problem with mine. Not sure what else to do. Cannot believe Samsung are not saying anything or reverting back to the previous software issue until this is solved.
Poor customer respect and management.
