Mine can last for about 2,5 days, I have AoD on and rise to wake off as it drains a lot of battery too (I had Xiaomi S1 Active and there the situation was similar). I'm not a fan of buying techs and then disabling it's features just to get more battery life. I prefer to use what I've paid for.
Mmm.... no way going to get 5 days on my watch. I used the default watch face that came on delivery, and did some systematic tests on my Galaxy 5 pro lte. Scenario 1: Minimal settings + AOD 1. Default Watch face 2. Always on display (AOD) 3. Brightness set to less than 50% 4. Arm gesture to activate display 5. Everything else set to OFF This resulted in 30% battery loss in 24 hrs. Estimated 100% loss in 3.3 days. Scenario 2: Scenario 1 settings plus the following: 1. Wifi on 2. Data (LTE function) on 3. Bluetooth on 4. Location on Gives 37% battery loss in 24 hrs. Estimated 100% loss in 2.7 days. Scenario 3: Scenario 2 but with AOD off. Gives 28% battery loss in 24 hrs. Estimated 100% loss in 3.6 days. Between Scenario 2 and 3, the AOD uses 25% battery life. By controlling setting variables like above we can make better real world estimates of battery life. If I set notifications on and made use of any health functionality then battery life would be WAY LESS than the best case Scenario of 3.6 days.
Thing about the AOD and raise to wake. It's been tested and proven that AOD drains less battery (depends on how minimal face is) compared to raise to wake because raise to wake turns on the whole screen to it's fullest while AOD just shows the AOD screen plus the watch has a separate processor for AOD. I've tried and tested it myself too. I get 4-5 days. Raise to wake runs on those extra sensors that would further drain the battery
that dont make any sense, aod is always on using batery life for screen to show something, raise to wake even tho it might use more during when you pull hand to see. i doubt you raise hand to see time every few minutes, probally once or twice per hour if not less, so thats way less usage than aod... aod was tested in most smartphones and its batery killer
@@NostalgicMem0ries watch 5 pro has a special processor for aod. It uses less battery. Raise to wake activates the dedicated sensor every time you raise it and it takes more battery to do so. Detailed comparison and tests had already been done. I've tested it myself. With AOD, watch lasts a day more

@Captainsting That's extremely wrong. Watch 5 Pro definitely doesn't have separate processor for Always on Display, how would that make any sense for a mobile device to have 2 processors? That would drain the battery even more, be more costly to manufacture and work less optimal. Statement that raise to wake activates the dedicated sensor only when you raise your hand is also false. In order for the raise to wake to work, the gyroscope is used, possibly along with the accelerometer, a special algorithm calculates what angle should the watch move to, in order to know when you're likely to be actually looking at the watch, and not just swinging your arms. So no, Raise-to-wake uses these sensors all the time. You can't only activate this sensor when the hand is being raised, because how would the watch know if your hand is raised in the first place? If it was known without those sensors, then they wouldn't activate those. This watch uses technology, not magic! Finally, I suspect that the watch uses some combination of accelerometr and gyroscope nearly all of the time, in order to measure your steps, detect activity, detect fall down in order to call SOS, etc.
You might have gotten a watch that set on shelf too long. I got a watch 5 pro and am only getting 1day 13hr max with nearly EVERYTHING turned off. Sigh.. EDIT: As a last ditch effort I factory reset my watch 5 pro and re-paired with phone. I now get up to four days if I turn almost everything off. Idle usage on is just over 1% an hour when connected to Bluetooth.
I bought the watch 5 pro 4 days ago and the battery life doesn't sound very good despite i disabled a lot of features. I have 60% of battery now and it says 8h left...it depends on my usage? Could be that it needs some more stabilization? If it will not improve i will return it!
Jimmy said in the comments that he doesn't use it for sleep tracking but no info about heart rate settings but guessing it is off altogether. I get just under 3 days with with heart rate every 10 mins and most of these settings.
Mine has dropped recently to around 2 days. Seems like it happened after a recent update. I haven't changed any settings, and was getting much longer usage from a charge, until recently. Now lucky if I get 2 days from it.
I bought my Watch 5 two days ago. 1] Battery life looks to be around one day. I have tweaked so many things... display, notifications, grayscale, turn off lte, sound and vibration, health features, gestures, etc. I've heard of three to five days. Will it get better? 2] Notifications on watch - sound and vibration - are not consistent. Is it normal that it misses some? I'm just learning. Appreciate any help.
One day? That's basically impossible. Do you have the 5 or 5 pro? Do you sleep with it? (I dont) Check the battery info and see what is taking most battery. Make sure always on display is off.
@Jimmy is Promo I have the 5. No AOD. LTE off. Health all manual. No auto brightness, at about 30%. No sound, just vibration. Notifications bare minimum. Gestures, just to dismiss alerts and calls. ... I do sleep with it. ... Any ideas? Btw: Go Chiefs. 🤣
SAME!! I GOT MINE ON MONDAY AND I'M ONLY GETTING ABOUT 1 DAY 22 HRS. I HAVE THE 5 PRO. I WEAR MINE AT NIGHT AND I CHECKED THE BATTERY LIFE WHEN IT WAS CHARGED TO 100%. STILL ONLY 1 DAY AND 22HRS. SO FRUSTRATING.
I have had the Pro since it came out and have never even gotten close to two days battery life much less five days and am using these settings. Must have a lemon.
It's so weird with my watch 5 I never got more than 12 hours of battery life, I returned it and kept my watch 4 because it gets about 48 hours on average. However Samsung refused to refund the money for my watch 5 because it was a preorder even though it shows refunded. I even found out last week on my Samsung account that the warranty for my watch 5 is ticking down and I have neither the watch or the money I paid in my possession.
So I've only had my watch 5 pro for about 3 days, and have the same settings for the most part, and am nowhere near 4days? I even have wifi and locations turned off. Was 100% Friday night and by Monday morning it was at 14%. 🤷♂️ Hopefully it's still "learning" my usage?
I have the GW5 and get on average around 2 days. I have much the same setup as you, apart from the WiFi. As many say, why have it on if watch is connected to phone! I certainly notice the huge drain when WiFi is on.
I have watch5 pro. This device is a joke, if I need to turn off all the features why did I pay for them. I will go back to my old xiaomi watch sport and a week of battery life😂
Why should anyone try to get 5 days of battery! It should come as standard with good battery life like all the others should! Especially APPLE!!!! My amazfit lasts for at least 15 days!
I had charge my watch twice in a day on my first day. Sevond day i called the support they asked me factory reset n ask me modify some settings. Charged fully and slept wearing it Next day morning i checked my my watch only 1 % left 😢in morning 😊by afternoon i packed and returned it before it frustrates me more.
Appreciate the video. Was also in the process of upgrading from the GW3 to the 5 pro. Question, do you also use it for monitoring your sleep and things like that as well?
No. I never purchase LTE watches. No need when you always have your phone in your pocket, purse or locker within BT range. Plus, yes, battery drain for connection on such small battery
I think that you are still a rookie. Turn off wifi and location for the best battery savings! Both are unnecessary for the majority of the time! This guy is still learning and shouldn't be posting things that he doesn't actually know! This is a poor review with bad information!
💥💥I'm sorry that's a stupid idea. Imagine paying $300+ for a watch that has always on display because it's a watch and the display is supposed to be on all the time and not using it. You'll be better off just getting the ticwatch Pro 5 or the ticwatch pro 3 that has the Dual always on display which you can leave on and that watch will the last five days.
After seeing your video, only i decided to purchase watch 5 pro lte. I turned off almost all battery consuming settings. But still, it lasts only up to 40 hrs max. One month before, only I bought this useless watch 5 pro. I think I wasted my money
How accurate is the GPS indoors? I ask this because I do indoor cycling every day and complete the steps I lack outside indoors. I would really appreciate it if someone could give me a clear and honest answer to this. Thank you.
@@robertof.573 my Apple Ultra watch 2 has GPS indoors without any issues. 😉The Samsung watch is struggling finding GPS indoors or it takes forever to find GPS.
This is the very big downside with smartwatches that has those fancy features, it just make the battery fck. This is the reason why I chose Huawei GT3 which last me like a full week of maximun usage and 2 week with minimal use. It only have the things i need on my workouts. I dont need facy features coz I already have it on my phone.
See I don't care about the apps samsung could charge for just a watch with LTE and call it a day because the phone batter will die before the fucking watch will and if yoi dont have a charger and still have 24 hours of battery life on the watch then yea makes sense to have back up if somone needs to make a phone call and your phone is dead but can still use LTE

But still it's compete with my Apple watch Ultra 2.. So i guess it's pretty decent then?

I have those xact settings and i get 3 days max
I even have the brightness lower
Look at your watch face, see if it's a battery drainer. Also go to battery settings and see what's taking most of it
Same for me...🤔

@@jimmyispromo Shows 4.5%? Is that high or low for a watch face? It's one I downloaded from Google play store. Not a super bright one?
i tried everything and i am still getting about 3d12 battery life without using
is this a problem
Google assistant used 43% of my battery. I had to disable it since I never actually use it on my watch. Hope that doesn't break anything.
I actually bought watch 5 pro last week. But the package date is Aug 2022. And getting 2 days around with many features turned off.
Do you sleep with your watch and still get the 5 day battle life?
For an instrument player like me, "Raise wrist to wake" is not a viable option, but in most cases, it will do coupled with AOD enabled!
I turned mine off, have had six months battery use so far
😂😂😂😂😂
Ummmmm I have virtually the same settings and I can barely get one day.
use tap to show instead of raise to show , save even more
Does this support find my phone like huaweis?
I have the GW5 and get on average around 2 days. I have much the same setup as you, apart from the WiFi. As many say, why have it on if watch is connected to phone! I certainly notice the huge drain when WiFi is on.
I don´t get how people are getting 4 or 5 days of battery. I barely get 2 if im lucky and I´m not really using it that much
No such offers in Canada. I will stay with my watch 4
What about sleep tracking?
I have to return mine. While your watch watch had 2 days power left with those settings, mine says 21 hours. This is with less than 2 months of use. 😢
I have watch5 pro. This device is a joke, if I need to turn off all the features why did I pay for them. I will go back to my old xiaomi watch sport and a week of battery life😂
Hi, Jimmy, nice vídeo. Thank you! And about the sensors? Do you turn on HRM and Stress monitor 24/7?
Why should anyone try to get 5 days of battery! It should come as standard with good battery life like all the others should! Especially APPLE!!!! My amazfit lasts for at least 15 days!
Is their way I turn off the reminders for my watch because I want them to show only on my phone I have watch 5 standard version
not sure who in the heck would use such a pretty watch with always on display turned off, sort of looks like a big black circle setting on your arm
Waste of battery. I see why no one would use it. But that's my opinion.
I had charge my watch twice in a day on my first day. Sevond day i called the support they asked me factory reset n ask me modify some settings. Charged fully and slept wearing it

Jimmy! Can't thank you enough. Your review & suggestions truly help. I'm getting only 1 day of battery. Hoping this helps. ✅️😘
Does this have anything similar to Garmin's body battery?
No idea, im sorry
Thanks for your informative video
Thank you for the video .. does it measure blood pressure continuously?
Helo, why my galaxy watch 5 pro dont last a day, same set up us yours, 5day old watch,
I have every setting exact and barely get a day. WHY! HELP ME PLEASE! I'D BE STOKED WITH CLOSE TO 2 DAYS! DID I GET A LEMON? 😢
Appreciate the video. Was also in the process of upgrading from the GW3 to the 5 pro.
Question, do you also use it for monitoring your sleep and things like that as well?
I don't wear it at night. Personally too uncomfortable for me. My bed actually tracks everything while either heating or cooling the bed
Yeah that's only if you use it to look at the time only what's the point of that
Hey Jimmy can you do the same video on S4 classic smart watch
Pretty much the same except it doesn't have the battery life of the 5 pro.
Is yours 5 pro LTE? I'm getting 1 day and 7 hours
No. I never purchase LTE watches. No need when you always have your phone in your pocket, purse or locker within BT range.
Plus, yes, battery drain for connection on such small battery
Funny my galaxy watch s3 frontier I bought 4 years ago still lasts about 3-4 days raise to wake on aod off

Seriously I never I mean never get over a day. Not even a "full" day mind you... 😉 Ugh!
Just turn off the watch, problem solved.
I easily get three days, without sleep tracker and always on display off.
2,8% display used for more than 2 days.... don't be funny. I didn't buy this watch so I wouldn't use it.
