Samsung health excessive battery drain (Galaxy Watch Active)

[Mailstrom36]

So, I recently purchases a Galaxy Watch Active and I've set it all up over the weekend and I was really impressed with it. However, when I go to school and I'm moving around a lot more, Samsung health has just gone crazy and I struggled to get through the entire day today. Does anyone have a fix? After finding out that it was SHealth, I have turned off all of the auto-detect options and set HR to every 10 minutes. I hope it's better tomorrow otherwise I'm not going to be happy.

Do you keep the wearable app open? I left this on overnight and watch died in 3 hours, now having closed, with hr monitoring on and everything else off I get 2 full days on a charge

No, its running but not in my recently used apps tray. Has been much better recently though since I turned off the auto-workouts that I never actually had any use for.

Still have the same problem. Is there any news about it?

[Mailstrom36]

after turning off all the unnecessary s Health options the battery life was much better.

What kind of unnecessary options?

[Mailstrom36]

Auto workout tracking. No need for me to use it. May not be the same for you? 

[ShaatLa]

I checked this option and it blocked by the app, maybe because of my watch?

[Mailstrom36]

Do it on the watch.

Everything already turned off
