1. Closing apps manually won't save battery life. The OS is quite capable of doing that by itself. 2. Turning off BT doesn't save power because it's energy consumption is minimal by design. 3. Location is only used when using location based services. Turning it off isn't smart. If you follow all these recommendations you end up using your smart watch like a tamagochi. Is that smart?

I'm disappointed I didn't read this comment before turing off the BT on my watch Arrggh!😡 So mad. this morning it wasn't connecting with my phone . I spend an 45 mins with customer service. They couldn't figure out what was the problem WHY my phone couldn't connect with my watch. . I was about to get it shipped off to get it repair. But then On my own🤔 I figure it out. It stop working after turning off the Bluetooth on the watch. Duh 😧. Once I turn it back on and had to reset the watch. it work again!. Geesh.
My S2 been sitting on the charger for a couple years. Looked online and the app for iPhone finally available . reset and sync but this morning the battery was dead in 4 hours . Found your vid and will Make “ some “ adjustments 😜 Thanks
Trish Holbrook works perfect now. I left Bluetooth on as I wanted it to work with iPhone when getting calls . Changing all the Notifications and brightness made a big difference . 25% battery loss in 8 hrs made a huge difference compared to 100% in 4 🤦♂️. It’s great now that i can look at my watch for text and calls 👍
I just got my watch this weekend. I can barely get two or three hours of battery life out of it before it dies. I'm going to be trying all of these tricks, thank you!
I've had my rose gold LTE version for a week now and I get just over 2 days battery life I have the watch face only on when I tilt my arm.Also it saves battery life if you use a black watch face
This was super helpful, thank you! I had researched articles on the topic of how to increase battery life, but nothing nowhere near this thorough or helpful.
You are so stupid. The point is not to have them turned off all the time, because it is a waste of battery. KEEP activated the features you wanr to use, when you USE them, not all the time.
incredible.. I just did what you actually said and now will wait until tomorrow morning to see that whether it works or not.. but I am sure its going to work.. Thanx for the information.
Thank you so very much this really helped me. My watch battery was running low I had to charge daily. I already had taken some stuff out but I guess still had some left. Thanks again loved the way you explained it nice enough to follow step by step. Again job well done !
Thanks for the video, I have been struggling with the battery on this watch and I hope these changes help. I was hoping you were going to mention Shealth and its impact on the battery as that is the highest usage of battery according to the watch.
You have to do a few things to get the battery life you hear about on those TH-cam video's, even the 46mm version can benefit too. First, choose a simple, old fashion-style watch face (or one with few info widgets). Second, Turn Heart beat detection to ONCE every 10 minutes. Third, turn DOWN the screen brightness to #5 or less. By default the screen brightness is set to #6 or 7. Fourth, Deactivate the ALWAYS ON screen. In fact, switch it turn on when you move your wrist to view the time. Last but not least -Turn off or decrease the GPS usage - GPS on watches can really suck the battery dry, REALLY QUICK! Keep yourself from installing any apps or keep yourself from using apps on watch until you see how long you can use your watch before charging. ALSO, try to turn off the watch at end of your day. Take notice of your battery level at shut off. If you have done all this, you should see your battery levels decline by only about 20-25% per day of use. Once you get close to this goal, you can go crazy using your phone apps..just watch your battery usage so you can estimate how much longer you can go before needing a charge! 42mm typically can get ABOUT 2 Days of light use, 46mm models can get about 4 days. But you will get less than half if you use music apps or make a lot of phone calls or have the GPS always on.
Awesome tips I especially like closing all apps.. it's tough to tell what's open, if anyone knows a way, please reply. Re: screen on/off, I turn it off completely so I have to use the lower button to switch on. Besides saving battery, if it flicks on when I'm sleeping, it wakes me up soketimes
I never knew any of this. Thank you for the info. My battery life on my watch was like one day. I stopped wearing it but now with this info im going to test to see how long it lasts. Thanks agian.
It made me think. My battery died, (I hope), and I decided to change it. I will follow you advice of saving use of the battery with the new one. Good job, thanks.
Loved this vid. Always fun to find new tech. Your vids are easy to follow and pleasant to watch. 1 tip from my perspective is if you don't have stuff active or set up, a brief how to get there would help a bunch to find these settings. At least 2 or 3 tips helped me by the way, cheers!
Cool video, would have been great if you mentioned how much longer your battery lasted with all what you did VS not. If you mentioned it, I might have missed it.
Thanks looking forward to receiving my Galaxy watch and applying these battery saving methods. Saddly I'm in Canada and I only receive my preorder on the 21st of September... Keep up the good content!
Better than s3 in my experiebce 20-30% longer and these charge fast, so while in the shower if you just charge it then your easily gonna get 5ish days from it I showwr twice a day about 15 minutes each and only really need to charge every 5 days judging by percents as of now
Hi. I want to use the LTE (i.e, eSIM) on this watch linked to primary SIM on my Samsung Note 9, and also enable bluetooth (at the same time) connected to my iPhone 8. Will I be able to do this (i.e., use LTE and bluetooth) and get calls, notifications from both Note9 and iPhone?
My watch is just a nice looking tool, meant to keep my phone safe at work. I charged it once, 4 days ago and had 18% left. The watch charged really quickly too. Now, I just turn it off at night. Lol, I couldn't see myself sleeping with this 46mm anyway. It's way more watch than I need but it looks great and works perfectly. Great tips here! I think I'm the only one that likes the watch version of Bixby. Not so much on the phone though.
I had set most of these, but I didn't know you could turn Bixby off. So far it seems useless. I'm torn on the heart rate, Once I'm done playing with it so much I may set it to frequent, but for now it will stay off. An extra tip i'm sure turning off the ticking sound helps save some battery.
Thanks. Useful to know when I get mine. How long were you finding battery life before and now? When used with reasonable usage, not all the time. Thanks
Anyone else still have battery drain issues since the Feb 2021 update? I've done all these steps and my battery still doesn't last a full day Any other hints or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you. Very informative. My battery has been draining very fast. I think It was because I had spotify running AND LTE. My phone is always with me unless I'm at the gym and I leave it in the locker.
My watch not measure heart rate no more and it has a swimming icon next to it i have done the water eject thing and still no look do you think the sensors have broke
With the heart rate sensor set to off, would it still automatically track heart rate during runnning? This is one of the features I am disappointed not to have on my Garmin, as the HR sensor drains a lot of battery.
Hi! I found your video very helpful. My watch battery has been very quickly dying in the past couple days. I think maybe the battery is dying. But I will re-watch your video and check the things you suggested. The watch is just under 2 years old. I think it's the same as yours. Thanks for all the little nuances to check. I did not know about quite a few of them, or how to turn them off.
Thank you for the tips. I turned off Bluetooth and had it on network only and it actually ran down the battery faster. I will try to turn off others as suggested because for now my battery only lasts eight hours or less.
Only turn your Bluetooth off when it's not being connected to your phone. If you have your phone connected to your watch by Bluetooth it will use less battery then when it's using cellular. Cellular should only be used when you don't want to bring your phone with you.
I’ve had the S3 for almost 2 years, unfortunately it doesn’t age well. I used to get 3-4 days of use, now it’s down to a day and a half. On the days I run, it goes right back on the charger. I’m going back to Fitbit and a watch.
I am torn between the Bluetooth version & the LTE version - £100 difference is quite steep for just LTE. Can LTE be switched off when you want to? Would having it connected by Bluetooth to your phone switch LTE off or would it prioritise Bluetooth over LTE (making LTE passive not active - reducing battery consumption) ?
Hi, i do not want to use all apps on the watch. I just need the stepcounter, watchface, timer and health function. Can i delete items that i do not want?
I will use most of you hints. Still i like the watch to wake up when i raise my arm. I do not need "always on". All the other things you mention i will turn off, too. Thanks for the video.
I just got the 42mm and it literally can not last even a full 5 hours. Did a factory reset and still had the same issue so I went back and got a new one. Hopefully this helps because when I track my th watch it loosed 1% every 6 minutes and when I check to see what's draining it is just the watchface which is ridiculous because I'm not even on anyother apps.
When you have it connected to your phone by Bluetooth isn't your phone still connected to LTE so youre eating the battery twice as fast now since you have Bluetooth and your network on?
Nah man, its not like you have "10 batter units" and each feature just takes one. Every feature on your phone uses energy differently. The biggest is always the screen and processor with the heat and light they produce. LTE is significantly less but still a contender, because its long range. Bluetooth is a low energy, short range connection. If it were out of 10, screen eats like 5, lte 2, bluetooth 1.

@@benojika1851 whenever your watch is connected to your phone via bluetooth, LTE turns off automatically and every time your watch loses bluetooth connection from your phone, LTE turns on automatically. I have the LTE version

3:25 If you leave the raise to wake feature on it will burn more battery than if you turn it off and use the AOD only. Most people's daily activities put their wrist in a position that causes the display to illuminate often, without the user wanting it to. Activities such as driving a car, or typing on a computer/office-type work.
Excellent tips. Btw, when you choose an app from the circular menu, you don't have to tap the little icon. Just tap the name area on the centre of the screen to open it. No need to try to tap little icons which can be awkward with big fingers!

Right - the Location thing is a holdover from Android 2.x as is closing apps.

Turning off BT means no messages, calls, app notifications on your watch...so what's the point of having the watch?
Not true. You get messages and calls if you have LTE version.
It only applies for lte version. But if you have a bluetooth version you want the bluetooth turned on all the time to receive notif from your phone
@@jgabriel1625 Don't know why people would ever buy just the bluetooth version. At that point I'd might as well just pull out my phone.
you can see the time!
You are so stupid.
The point is not to have them turned off all the time, because it is a waste of battery.
KEEP activated the features you wanr to use, when you USE them, not all the time.

Just take out Wake up on gesture. As in this comment I have 26% left and on 3rd day 22hours 38 minutes. And I have 20 hours left in battery life.
Do you mean touch to wake up
@@nicksigalas4498 No, im talking about when you do your wrist movement to see the time it wakes up automatically there is a setting to turn that off.
Does that really make that big of a difference?

I have non LTE version, purchased about 1 week ago and my battery life is poor? :(

Thanks for the tip on Bixby. I have not used it anyway.
simple commands like, "set alarm at ...," or "send text messages to ... " work well with my Gear S3 Frontier (prior to Bixby, Galaxy Watch).
Bixby on the watch is useless I asked it "what's the weather like" it's reply was "check on phone" what a load of bollox 😂

Antonio Miles only 2 days maximum?? Omg. I hope it can do at least 2 full days and half, not 2 barely. 3-4 would be perfect

If your phone is always with you then why waste so much battery using LTE

I am torn between the Bluetooth version & the LTE version - £100 difference is quite steep for just LTE.
Can LTE be switched off when you want to?
Would having it connected by Bluetooth to your phone switch LTE off or would it prioritise Bluetooth over LTE (making LTE passive not active - reducing battery consumption) ?
LTE has almost 2x the ram so £100 more is a steal tbh
Many thanks,very good video.Mike
Please tell me, how many hours does the clock work in conjunction with bluetooth headphones, when playing back uploaded music to the clock memory?
Does turning off heart rate polling prevent the sleep tracking feature from working properly?
Hi, i do not want to use all apps on the watch. I just need the stepcounter, watchface, timer and health function. Can i delete items that i do not want?
Set your brightness to 4 and hey presto a solid 3 days of use. If you pick a black and white or grey scale watch face your a double winner.

Is there a watch only mode in gear S3?
Is there an always on screen for the time only like on the old Pebbles ?
Yes there is. The cool part about the always on screen is that each watch face has a different always on clock.
Which watch face are you using? I want to add that.
Thanks for that. A lot less charging time now : )
You can have the LTE on automatic, then it is not on if you are near you phone :)
Question. If I never go into the apps for and don't allow them. Do they still drain the battery?
What kind of watch so you have?
I just got the 42mm and it literally can not last even a full 5 hours. Did a factory reset and still had the same issue so I went back and got a new one. Hopefully this helps because when I track my th watch it loosed 1% every 6 minutes and when I check to see what's draining it is just the watchface which is ridiculous because I'm not even on anyother apps.
Can I place whole machine of Samsung S2 white in the casing of S3
Love my rose gold wstch only had it a week, it lasts 2 days maybe,,i dont use it for everything,some days its just a regular watch which looks lovely
I agree , it is a stunning watch. Still going strong.
I just go to gear app, info and click on RAM then clean. Done.

3:25 If you leave the raise to wake feature on it will burn more battery than if you turn it off and use the AOD only. Most people's daily activities put their wrist in a position that causes the display to illuminate often, without the user wanting it to. Activities such as driving a car, or typing on a computer/office-type work.
That is so wrong. Using the raise to wake will save tons more battery than AOD.
What's LT? It truly helped though
LTE? Its a cellular data signal
Does it work for samsung gear s3 frontier

Great video, I think u underestimate Bixby tho. I use it for settings as well, so I dont have to dig thru all the settings and windows.
