…Samsung watch 4, and it was a whole different story. Snappy. Great UI. Great battery life.
Do we have a different Samsung watch 4? Or a different expectation of great battery?
I got one last year, and it’s my first smartwatch. It lasts one day. Having to charge it every night makes it a burden. Of it hadn’t been so expensive, and if I didn’t want to get the body tracking It offers, I’d simply leave it on a drawer.
My friend has a Garmin of some kind. It’s bulky, but o kind of like that. He reckons his lasts nearly a week. That would be my idea of great battery.
Exactly. Then imagine how bad things will get once the battery degrades, which will be a lot quicker with the constant charging. My Garmin lasts 2 weeks on a single charge in “smart watch” mode.

Maybe your battery is a dud. I get through a day of very heavy use with 50% battery remaining.
Yeah maybe. But even that is hardly exceptional battery life. And then the watch will be less than 50% by the time you’ve slept with it.

I’ve got the Galaxy Watch4 and I love it. I get nearly two days of battery, which is fine by my standards, and the UX is snappy as hell.
