Charging and battery life sucks. I could charge my FitBit Sense2 while showering. It really made showering a regular routine. IF, and I mean IF it were down to a 20% charge, I could get it to 90+ percent in less than half an hour. That’s a toothbrush, shower, coffee, laundry, and done.
Now, it essentially takes a full hour every single day, and often that’s 2x a day. I now regularly leave the watch at home because I can’t just pick it up and put it on after the shower. That 90% charge would last more than a day.
So, if I charged it daily, it could be done in less than 20 minutes. Instead, not only am I charging in the morning, but I am also frequently charging in the evening.
Thus, like leaving it at home in the morning, because its on the charger in the evening, I’m passing out before I get it off the charger.
I’m thinking you really need a charge alarm. If I’m charging 2x per day, hopefully then it can be done in 30 minutes if religiously done. That said, like the medicine reminder, you need a loud, hey, IT’S BEEN 30 MINUTES thing. PICK ME UP BEFORE YOU LEAVE (or pass out!!!). Sure, I have smart things turned on, but once out of the house, I can’t make it back.
Part of the issue is that the 9.9-watt charger rarely exceeds 2.5 watts, and when it does, it only goes slightly higher. Sure, sometimes up to 2.95 watts, but typically less.
Speaking of the frequent need to recharge. Yes, a
the other day, it said 11.5+ hours at 70% then 6 hours at 30%, then dead in 2 hours. it was 4 hours short of the 11 hours.
Yet the next day the phone died, and it dropped less than 10% charge in 3.5 hours. This is amazing since typically, it freaks out and loses 80% of its charge in just a couple of hours.
Below is just a stream-of-consciousness list of notes… only roughly worked in.
The Samsung watch kind of sucks on a few cases first this 9 + what charger cannot get above 2.9 watts and it’s frequently in the lower half of the twos to what range. I can literally plug it in and while it’s plugged in watch, the battery charge dropped 10% just because it can’t keep up to its own screen. And that brings me to the issue of trying to turn it off I understand that you have the watch set to automatically turn on when it gets plugged in I’m sorry I wanted to charge not discharge and I even did a hard reset on my watch thinking it was broken because you didn’t even tell me that this was grayed out I pushed it like 200 times trying to get it to power off just so it would charge. Maybe she pop pop up a info thing saying hey you can’t turn off right now because of the setting is set to always be on In which case maybe maybe just maybe you should say hey do you want to disable this or do you want to disable this right now or permanently. The other day just by going into work out mode I lost 25% of my charge It went dead yes didn’t shut into some battery saver mode or anything It was about 28% the locker room when I was on the floor is probably 25% when I hit start my yoga routine It stopped at the 40 minute mark. Maybe that was it trying to search for Bluetooth cuz I found out today that I went from 50% charge to 0% charge in 2 hours because I turned off my Bluetooth it’s easier to hit one button than disconnect headphones and reconnect headphones and do all those other stuff just turn off Bluetooth so rather than doing a deep battery surge searching for Bluetooth maybe she go into BLE mode Bluetooth flow energy Maybe that is happening because it’s desperate to find a phone which it shouldn’t be if I might be leaving it to go work out or something It gave me alert I swipe it away and acknowledgment that doesn’t mean I’m trying to find my phone. Maybe it’s that that’s pretty concern Wi-Fi and LTE on cuz I do have those set to airplane mode because I don’t need three radios I don’t need location services when I’m getting location services through my phone I have that turned off too maybe that’s being turned on because it’s disconnected from the phone I don’t know All I know is my battery goes from 50% to 0% in less than 2 hours from 25% to 0% in less than 40 minutes
