There's something REALLY wrong with the battery life of the watch 7 (I have the 40mm but this is valid for all versions)
I had the watch 6 prior so I can tell this isn't right 
On a normal day usage I would charge the watch 100 at 8am and at 11pm when I went to bed it would have 55/60pc with moderate use and exercises 
With my watch 7 I can't even get to 8pm as the battery reaches 1pc...I have tried everything from uninstalling apps disabled service nothing made a difference except one thing... turning off the Bluetooth on the watch improved the battery life somewhat still lagging behind w6 but not as bad however I didn't buy this watch to keep it off Bluetooth main reasons why use it is for notifications on my watch...so idk what is to on but there is a bug with this watch I hope is a bug otherwise I'm sending back and getting watch 6 again...I read tons of similar posts on Reddit so I know is not just me...to give you an idea of how bad this is
Watch charged at 6pm 100pc...at 8pmz that's 2h later just sitting in bed watching TV... battery is 60pc...20pc an hour is not normal 
At night with night mode on on a 8 sleep battery goes from 100pc to 20pc...wtf...on my w6 I was loosing 10pc at night 
And no is not the watch settling or idk what app in the background...when you check the battery usage is not showing anything Samsung health and one UI have like 1pc usage 
I think something with the Bluetooth maybe is wrong 

Is alarming however that Samsung launches these watches with bugs in them and such terrible battery life 

Can someone who's a moderator here confirmed this is being looked into and fixed ASAP via a software update...this is watch is currently unusable as it is...

I had the same problem but with an old gear s3 frontier.it was a hand me down gift. I tried everything like turning off BT,wifi,nfc and plane mode on. Lasted for less than 4 hours. It was useless,so I put in a new battery and it's fixed. Everything on and lasts 2 days easily. My point is, what if your battery is faulty? Good luck

Like I said...this is a very widespread issue ATM with other users... it seems to be a bug with the OS... even if I had a faulty battery is not like I can replace it I'd need to send the watch back

I've just had this Bluetooth drop draining battery issue start on my Galaxy watch 4, but can't see any other reports. It's so bad that after factory reset my phone finds the watch, but can't hold connection long enough to complete set up.
