Basically, I bought a second-hand Fossil Gen 5 smartwatch the other day. I'm pretty new to the whole smartwatch game. Does anyone have any tips and tricks for me? Partially preserving battery life.

Whatever is acceptable for you. I don't have to, but I plug mine in once a day when I charge my phone. Others seem to think they should get a week out of each charge.
yeah, if you charge it same time with your phone, it's fine. but i was thinking about it and exactly when the phone is on the charger i want to have the smartwatch on my arm, to get any notifications and updates.
LG Android Wear discharging at same rate as phone
Hi all,
I am using the Note 3 with my LG watch. From 7am to now at 1130am my Note3 is at 74% while the LG is 75%. Both units appear to be discharging at the same rate for me.
I was wondering if this is on par with what others are getting?
Personally I wasn't expecting Android Wear to discharge as fast as this. I was hoping to get at least 2 days before charging, but at this rate I don't think this is possible.
I changed from a Sony Smartwatch2 to this LG. The LG has a much nicer screen, but I was getting a significantly better battery discharge rate on the Sony. In terms of notification experience between the 2 watches I think it has been about the same so far.
What has lured me to the Android Wear is having Google Now and a nicer screen. I am thinking perhaps, this is what is putting addition battery drain on the watch? I really hope future updates will increase battery efficiency on both phone and watch.
Update on battery life
Hey Guys,
My LG appears to have settled down now and appears to sip sparingly at it's power supply. Last night it was at 70% before I charged it for the evening. This evening it was at 65%. I suspect it's busier with notifications during a weekday.
Happy with this for now.
i would say as long as you can do a full 24 hours on a watch, i will be content with it. I have the lg g watch as well as the qualcomm toq(yes i know different os..)and they both last a full day.. my electronics sleep when i sleep. cant ask/need more then that.
A lot of smartwatches with Android OS has battery Status problem. It's not sudden battery drain. Android has problem with dealing with some size of batteries (as i suppose). When using watch battery level goes down - ok, but in standby battery status is almost not moving. After 1 and a half day with 60% it says that 2 days left, and all of sudden it stops working.
Callibration Apps doesn't work. Anyone found solution? Because not knowing how long can i last without harger is confusing. (Better without ROOT)
Ah.. I find this topic interesting as I'm experiencing the same scenario too.

I loved having a working heart rate monitor on my BT tethering watch, zeblase Crystal. unfortunately, the heart rate chip failed, which got me seriously looking at Android watches. I was pretty impressed with the D5 and D5+, since you can tweak to improve battery life. Then No. 1 announced the D7 with a very nice 500 mAH battery, which they claimed has 5 days of standby life. I began waiting for some good, detailed reviews and, bless him, Smartwatch Ticks delivered. Well, his online review and updated RL testing, which you'll find in the comments below the video, reveal a smartwatch with improved battery life and decent recharge times. He got 29 hours with BT and WIFI on, a SIM card installed and screen brightness at 50% (GPS was turned off). Recharge to 100% took 90 minutes. When in conservation mode with the SIM card out and everything shut off and screen brightness at 25%, he got 76.5 hours. The best thing for me is that No. 1 will shortly be bring out a sporty twin version of this watch with a silicon band, the D8. I think this will be my new smartwatch, when they're available. It's not just the battery size that's helping achieve better battery life, they also used a battery-friendly design, dual core architecture rather than quad core and lower resolution screen. With that said, it's got a beautful screen and performs well. I'm hoping Smartwatch Ticks gets the D8 to review, too. If you're looking for an Android smartwatch with good battery life, I'd suggest that you check out Smartwatch Tick's review (it looks like there's finally a decent update to Fundowear's fitness app, too).

Thats what I am thinking too!. I have a lem5 and love it, but battery is maybe 5 or 6 hours with minimal use.... So I was looking at the D7 and blown away by smartwatchtick's yourtube!!!!!! Then I happened to see the no1. D8 from their website and I am sold!
With everything off (wifi, BT and GPS) I have 20% per 24h battery drain so it's pretty nice result.
My budget is around the price of these watches, any other brand gets too expensive in my country.
My requirements are:
Basic fitness tracking (steps, heart rate, calorie, sleep)
Decent battery (2-3 days is enough)
Good design
Google Map
2-3 days battery life, you can delete Ticwatch E from your list
Hi,
just bought the Tab recently and im in love with it.
However, i realised that the battery drains really fast, even if it's just laying around. The battery drains much faster than on my old fire HD 10 from 2017. Anyone else experienced the same? Any tips to improve the battery life on unrooted stock Rom (newest update with one ui 3.1) ?
Anyone else??
I have this exact issue. I haven't been able to pinpoint why it is happening. Only thing in the battery menu is the Google Play services.
I am not having this on my P615 UI 3.1. ~6 hours screen on anf ~9 hours at all.
Any tips and tricks guys
is anybody active in here? smh
I guess this forum is a zombie
