I'm on 4th day of battery life on this watch and battery % is 54 which is great. I turned off GPS wifi Bluetooth and LTE. Plus other things from this video. LTE GPS wifi and Bluetooth use a lot of battery and I put flight mode on too. My Huawei watch ultimate lasts 8 days with sleep weather heart rate etc. Galaxy watch ultra is a very nice looking watch and I just wished it had better battery life. Orange version I got and it looks stylish. Enjoyed your video!
If you use Assistant, turning off the "OK, Google" wake word makes a huge difference because the microphone isn’t always listening. I just use long press on the Home button to activate Assistant.
@specijalac7 Happy to help! On the watch itself, go to Settings -> Google -> Assistant, and you'll see an option to turn off "Hey, Google." This stops the microphone from constantly listening for the wake word and saves a ton of battery. I went from 20% or more down to about 1%. I just mapped Assistant to my home button (long press).
Hey Micah, awesome video - thanks. Just a different question: what is the icon pack named which was on your phone? It is very nice, would love to use it as well. Best wishes, Xhafer
While I agree with MOST of what you are saying, I'm completely in disagreement with "a watch should always show time." In my opinion, my watch should ONLY show time when I look at it. It's moronic to waste battery life, by showing time when I'm not looking at it. So I also get over three days of battery life, but I don't have to turn off nearly as much as you do. I still have tons of things on my screen, to give me information at a glance, and the ONLY things I turned off are AOD and some of the notifications from apps I don't need to be notified from. THat's it. And great battery life.
How you can get 3.5 days with AOD... even samsung itself does not advertise that...the most i can get with AOD is a day and half and 2 days or so without AOD.🤔
i have 3 days on my 40mm ....so galaxy 7 40mm...i did that : new start : set all what i need...but ! wear not the watch NO..dont wear the watch !...Wait 3 days ..DONT WEAR "in this time the clock say : learning what u do or so" this step i make without to wear my watch and i have 3 days....maybe it work for u to...!
I found a battery drainer. Cellular data!!! A mobile plan with the watch when it's solo drawing the power. I use my watch only for music and if I get messeges or phone calls I want them to show up. But it just dies before my 4th hour of work!??!?!
@@GUzmaN1911 I have managed to have Always On, Bluetooth linked to my phone, have an active line with Tmobile, No GPS, No Wifi and have managed to get 39 hours with the latest update. If you turn on the battery saver I squeeze the longevity to 45 hours and yes mine has a phone line.
Why somebody buy watch for 699e and then turn off everything on watch, why somebody buy s24 u for cca.1200 e and then turn off everything to get better battery life, simply l don't understand
How’s your battery life? 😄
@@Micah-Woods 1,5 days
Down to 2 days 7 hours.
@@bigjust9607 not too bad! Try some of these tips. 😁
@Micah-Woods I am using all of them 🤣🤣👍🏾
@Micah-Woods I am using all of them with always on display off. I get 3 days 11 hours in power saving mode
Great battery saving tips! We are all trying to figure out how to optimize the usage of our watches!
@@Capie glad I could assist! True!
Awesome vid, thank you VERY much!! I learned alot.
@@Jonathan_Knight glad I could assist!
Thanks for the info. I don't get close to your battery usage. Hopefully, with your tips, I can get more.
@@williammaurice3069 hopefully so!

Hey man, nice advise. How to turn off that? Do you know where i have to go to turn this off?

Also your basic watch face (with no weather, etc.), saves battery.

@@xhafermorina5216 One UI Dark Mode icon pack.
Ok
Well done sir and have a sub...
@@gregfitch8937 appreciated! Thank you for the support!
Turn off adaptive brightness to stop the phone from loading the battery stats. As soon as I activated it that started happening to my watch too
@@bigjust9607 mine finally worked when I came back to the app after a few hours.
Mine last 3-3,5 days. Always on, gps - off. Stress and heart rate only manually.
@@Imhotep73 nice!
Can you use find my features with GPS off? If you happened to leave your watch somewhere would you be able to track it?
@@yugimuto9763 it may be possible. It would definitely ping the last location. I'll have to look into that.
I think i have a drainage problem with my watch. The
most i can get is about a full day

It’s not moronic to show time all the time. That’s what traditional watches do. It’s simply preference. Appreciate you sharing otherwise! 😌

@@MingeShagger 😎 I got you covered!
can you answer whatsapp calls on your watch? and do you see who's calling?
I’ve never tried with WhatsApp, but there is an app available on the watch.

What a strategy!
I turn off my watch every night. Saves lots of battery.

Yup, that mobile plan will drain battery big time!
@@HectorsRegular even if it's connected to your phone?
@GUzmaN1911 no, that’s the Bluetooth connection. A mobile plan doesn’t require the watch to be connected to the phone.
@@GUzmaN1911 I have managed to have Always On, Bluetooth linked to my phone, have an active line with Tmobile, No GPS, No Wifi and have managed to get 39 hours with the latest update. If you turn on the battery saver I squeeze the longevity to 45 hours and yes mine has a phone line.
@Micah-Woods try turning the cellular mobile network connection to off instead of auto.
The best trick to a good battery life is not to play around with your watch every 5 minutes.
@@sharkgt9264 that too! 😂
Why do i need a watch to tell me if im stressed?
Sometimes, you just don’t know if you are. 😁
It's OPTIONAL...Samsung didn't make the watch just for YOU
