5.0.1 - Battery Life Now FANTASTIC!

Wow I just got my first LTE watch (was just standard before) and I never knew it would last that long away from the phone!

Do you have workout auto detect on? Any other things you’ve turned off to get that kind of battery life?

 

I’m 8 hours into my day and have lost 17%.

Pretty amazing.

 

I usually get to updating eventually , major releases , but sounds like this point one release is worthy?

 

left this am about 10:20.....100%
down 13% sitting at 87% right now

 

Just got my 40MM series 4 on Saturday.

Usage: 1 hour, 55 minutes
Standby: 7 hours, 18 minutes.

Sitting at 71%, is this good or bad? Seems poor compared to what other folks are experiencing.

 

5.0 or 5.0.1?

Takes a little to settle

Background app refresh drains too

—
Good lord that 5.0.1 happened in the blink of an eye ... I may no longer have to dread update times?

 

5.01.

Background app refresh is off, raise to wake off, etc

 

It was terrible before the update and it’s terrible now. If I leave my phone at home and use series 4 to respond to text and take a couple calls and listen to a little music and work out it’s damn near toast by 10:30 pm series three would do this work load and go until almost five the following day....

 

At the end of 8hour shift at work my battery was down to 35%.
I never had the battery go that low on my AW3.
Being 2mm larger I expected 40mm to last longer than the 38mm with a bigger battery.
I was wrong.

 

Try turning off the wifi if you’re subscribe to LTE.My regular SS watch 4 os 5.0: 100% at 9am then 11 hours later at 8pm it is still 84%. Everything is on LTE,background app,raise to wake,Bluetooth etc. Only off is the wifi.

 

Mine is GPS only. That is incredible that your went down less than 20% on LTE. When I had AW3 LTE, it would last only 4 hours on LTE.

 

About 15 hours off the charger this morning, with 3 hrs usage, and battery level is at 65% now.

 

50% right now. 4 hours usage and 14 hours standby.

 

Battery life has been fantastic so fast on the S4. It's 1:40 now in Hong Kong and I have 88% battery left.

 

I think there are a few factors being overlooked here that determines the battery life being "FANTASTIC"
I think most people stating its fantastic are on GPS only, if you run the watch of LTE all day you probably have a very different experience.

 

I was thinking about buying the Nike edition model but was worried about LTE battery life

 

Didn’t charge my watch last night, and as of now, it got 1 day 13 hours standby, and 5.5 hrs usage, with about 20% battery level left. I’m not using the LTE service. Just WiFi.

 

I had 17% when I got home today.
I started with 100% in the morning.

 

Not sure what is happening with ios5.0.1, but my battery life is 12% already and it's only 4pm. Restart and charge I think and see what happens tomorrow. It had been amazing before the update.

 

Woke up yesterday at 6:30am with my S4 at 95%, did a ~1 hour workout (with my phone on me) and had minimal usage otherwise, background app refresh off most apps, I was at 48% by 10pm. Usage says I had just under 4 hours, but there's no possible way I used it that much.

Watch was at 92% when I woke up the other morning.

 

Is there a way to permanently turn the wi-fi off? Mine turns back on often, and I've noticed it does drain the battery quicker
