I have read the other battery problem posts and haven't seen that anyone has reported similar problem to mine...
Typically I have a full day of use with my Gear S (BT on; wifi, mobile and gps off) and come home with about 45-60% battery.
However, about once a week I have had it suddenly chime with the low battery alert after only 2-3 hours, same settings!
What is going on? Notifications from Google Now are kind-of excessive (once an hour), but don't have any special apps installed except Watch Styler and Zooper wearable widgets. Anyone else with random poor battery performance?

Mine has better battery life on some days than others. I haven't had it that long but all of my settings remain the same, but its definitely not as drastic of a difference.
Hmmm, wish it was that way for me. I'm sure one of apps is hanging in the background after being triggered or opened, though not sure which one or what else it could be. :-/
Same Problem
When I am work, my battery dies in less than 8 hours even with VERY little use. When I am away from work (weekends, etc.), my battery will go all day with phone calls and texts and even GPS usage. I'm wondering if it's related to the Wi-Fi or cell signal I get in my office. I have Wi-Fi turned off on the watch but it made no difference. Something must be "active" to cause it to drain that fast! Less than 8 hours with very minimal use.....WTF??????

Is your mobile network on the watch set to auto or always On? Maybe you can try turning it off and see if it helps save battery life..
I agree with the post about turning your cellular data off as the watch will constantly try to get information and if it is a weak signal it causes battery drain.
Well ever since i switched the cellular data to edge my battery consumption it reduced to almost blue tooth levels...about 3-4 % per hour [emoji2] i can can have it remotely connected all day with out any problems.

I've notice that some clock styles are huge battery drainers and mobile data on, eats up your battery like crazy, also motion. BATTERY IS THE ONLY BIG DISAPPOINTMENT THIS WATCH HAS
For me the trick was to never turn my watch off! I now put it in airplane mode overnight and deselect in the morning. I'm still not sure what causes my problem, but powering up the watch would result in about 20% battery loss per hour. I think it is a software loop running in the background after the watch engages in system update check. Now I get through the day with about 50% battery remaining and can use motions and even always-on.
I recently got one of these, and had a couple questions related to battery life.
My phone is a OnePlus One running the latest COS 13.0.1 build (S254) and better life on the phone is significantly degraded since installing the Gear Fit Manager and S Health apps. I have the band set to only sync with S Health manually, and had generally been keeping the band connected via Bluetooth. I have a feeling the always connected via BT is what's killing my phone battery, but was curious as to what others are doing? Do you keep you band connected via BT or do you just rely on the Remote Wi-Fi connectivity? It appears that it only syncs with S Health via BT, so does anyone just connect it via BT once or twice a day to sync and leave it on Wi-Fi the rest of the time?
Just curious for any tips to save the battery on my phone. Battery life on the Fit2 itself has been pretty good so far, lasting a couple of days per charge which certainly meets my needs.
Any thoughts or tips would be appreciated!
Depend what you want ?
I use like an activity tracker, so no wifi never, and BT just 1 hour by day to sync data and update weather and daily schedule. I open SHealth on phone when I want to sync health data. So 23H / 24H with BT disabled on Fit2.
If you want act like a smartwach for notification keep BT ON all the day and phone near. Wifi is just for special case, wifi drain much battery, so just if you really can not have your phone with you.
Hi Guys,
This morning is saw that my battery was going down quickly when it was disconnected from my phone ( i was in the garden and my phone was charging ). I lost 5% in half an hour. Does anybody also noted this behaviour ?
I have an international stratos 1619 with last stock update which is the .18. Does the newer update ( CN updates ) fix this problem ?
It's a real pain in the butt to have a watch with this kind of problem.
Greetings,
David
the same happens to me. the battery drains a lot if the connection is lost

Do you have any third party notifications app installed, like WatchDroid or AMF? If watch disconnects from the phone, this can cause increased battery drain, you should disable the app or put watch in airplane mode (not always works with 3rd party apps). Other then things, if the watch is trying to sync data with phone, either health or weather, this can help too. Last but not least, battery drain is much worse when using any Bluetooth device like heaphones for example. The best option when away from phone is to put watch in airplane mode.
I have exactly the same problem ~10% per hour when disconnected vs 4 days when connected... The same with pace and stratos with lg g4...
Hi folks,
love my Stratos :good:, this is such a nice sports watch. But there´s a big issue with the power consumption when there is a hr-sensor strap is connected. To clarify I did a test: 2h indoor running without GPS and it brings down the Stratos battery for 25%! The same test with the build in hr-sensor brings down the battery just for 5%! A friend of mine did also the test and got similar results with his Stratos and also with his Pace. Same poor results! For comparison: my Suunto 9 in the same test drains down the battery only for 3% with the same connected hr-sensor strap.
Is this issue well known? Is there any solution? Has the Statos 3 the same issue?
Thanks for your help
Yes it is a well known fact, not an issue.
Hello,
new product came out, and that is Amazfit GTS 2. Anyone already have the watch? Can 1 week battery life still be achieved if all features are turned on?
Thank you for the answers, I really appreciate it.

This guy is a long term supporter of GTS and GTS2. He praised a lot for the old GTS and its amazing battery
But in his review of GTS2, after using for 10 ten days, he said the battery is really PATHETIC, only last like 2 days.

I saw this video but this is the only one that is saying the battery life is 2 days...so I'm looking for more users that can verify this before I buy it...
Thank you anyway
I found two more review on battery test for you.

In terms of battery life, according to the official statement, Huami Amazfit GTS 2 has a battery life of up to 7 days in daily use mode. I turned on the active heart rate detection + sleep assisted detection mode, turned on the sleep breathing quality test, and used the watch according to my own habits. The power consumption was 29% for 28 hours and 12 minutes, and the battery life was about four days. If you follow the official daily use mode instructions, the battery life will be further extended, and 7 days does not seem to be a problem.

What's honestly most impressive of all is that the developer's battery estimates for these smartwatches don't appear to be overblown, a rare thing for smartwatches or tech in general. After a week of use, including using the always-on feature sporadically, tracking my sleep cycles, and going for several workouts with GPS activated, the battery only recently dropped below 50%. Keep in mind that it would drain faster if I had continuous heart rate / SPO2 tracking enabled, but for most users, the GTR 2 could easily last you up to two weeks per charge. For comparison, the GTS 2 has a 7-day battery estimate.
Hope it helps, bro.
Personally, i'm using GTS and see no reason for the upgrade to GTS2. If you haven't bought GTS before, then maybe it's worth it.

Alguien le llega?
Ya ta solucionado.
I have the gts2. I've had it about a week. Battery with usual use is about 4 days. I have wrist flip detection on high and get about 3 days. Overall I really like the watch. Waiting for Alexa update to come in the future.
I have the GTS 2 since the day it launched in India. Love everything about the watch except battery life.
Battery drain is too much. Hardly getting 2 days. I find it absurd to first purchase smartwatch for its features and then keeping most of them off to get battery life.
It is possible to turn WiFi off and bluetooth on?
Hello, I have it and only two days of battery life. I have a week with him and the clock is not bad at all. Taking advantage of the thread, you know how I can activate the extra functions of the watch.
I bought a few days ago GTR 2, and all is almost perfect except for the battery... firstly from 48% to 10% within 24h, . After fully charged, 3 days and 50% has gonewith one, 1h training per day without GPS.
I like multitasking, wifi (fast watch faces synchro), but AOD drains battery a lot I decided to disable AOD, sleep tracking, switched heart rate to 10min. interval and after 24h battery decreased from 56% to 44%, while I know that people with GTR 1 have 1% per day with almost the same settings...
so I'm really disappointed with such battery life...
Do you have any advices?
@Redmundek, my girlfriend has the same problem. I bought GTS2 for her and GTR2 for me and with the same settings I get ±10 days of battery life and she gets ±3! Did you find any solution?
Have you checked the settings for detection method? Try different option and see:
- automatic heart detection - for me it is Ok
- Sleep assistant - may be the root of possible more draining
- Automatic heart detection & sleep assistant - potentialy draining battery a lot (as far as I remember)
Then other options below: activity detection, heart rate alert, all-day stress monitoring, sleep breathing quality.. I have ticked most of them after different tests. No issue with battery draining (I guess)
I'm using a GTR2 but I remember having seen a big change in the battery draining here when I tested different settings.
Good luck.
Hi, I amended sleep monitoring and stress detection and the battery is quite good, even with AOD from 7:00 till 22:00 (which I prefer) it can works c.a. 5-6 days
