Did you expect some magic. If you want to save battery, you have to save energy. For those who what's the use if I disable everything, the only choice in smartwatches is either a long battery life and few functions, or a lot of functions and poor battery life. Apple watches are the same or worse. There's no avoiding it. Remember that watches are small and therefore can't house a big battery. The Galaxy watch 1st iteration had better battery life, but it was really bulky; I'd rather have a comfortable watch on my wrist for hours and charge it when at home for an hour or even half an hour.
Useful and clear advice - easy to understand and follow, delivered at a pace that is slow enough to be understood (and make some of the changes "live") but fast enough to keep my attention. Thank you!
Your comments were really good. My watch3 lasts 12 hours without exercises. Doing all 9 tips let me see how much time of battery i got! Although I get a little upset by bying a watch w8th a lot of resources and disabel lot of them, but in fact the big deal for me are the notifications, schedule, music and exercise.
so if you turn off bluetooth and set the mobile network to auto your watch is never going to connect to your phone thus drain the battery a lot quicker or am I missing something?
Well, what is a point to buy a smartwatch and turn everything off. I'm an user of Huawei GT2. Sleep tracking on, continuous heart rate monitor on, steps counter on, Bluetooth on, plus other Widgets on. About 10 days battery life. I'm waiting for my Galaxy watch 3 to arrive but by watching more reviews I'm already very disappointed with this watch. Anyway thank you for your video 😉👍
Then what's the difference between a normal watch and a smart watch when you close or shut all the options company gave you. What are you going to achieve by turning off everything just to show you time.
Can someone please update us if the latest gw3 update which has began to roll out just a few days ago has brought any significant boost to battery life?
Anybody help on quick settings? They have disappeared and I can't seem to get them back in the pull down. I have found the swip up/down option but there is no option at that point for quick settings to activate or allow from the accessibility window.
Exactly it's fucking stupid. Buy a smartwatch to sit on your wrist and not use it. Get a Garmin Instinct Solar bro. Batter will last for close to a month and that's with heavy use. It's also a better smartphone when it comes to fitness tracking and will get you out of the shit if you get lost in the woods or anything.
@@lazydaze3134 being a smart watch and fitness tracker are totally different ,better buy a huawei device which stays in between ,garmins are proper tracking and fitness material and do u have any idea Solar cost???
I thought it uses Blutooth to connect to your phone ans to transfer files and send notifications and other data like weather info. I have WIFI set to Auto on my Galaxy Watch 3. I have my Heart Rate monitor set to always on and easily will get more than 24 hours battery life, it's less than 3 hours until I reach the 24 hour since fully charged and the estimated battery remaining time is over 12 hours as of posting this replay.
The watch will need its own line of service if you want to use it without your phone. If your on t mobile they have a thing called digits which will allow you to have your main line associated with it so you get all your calls and texts from your main number .a
HighTechCheck thank you.. my original Gal watch is LTE on my left wrist but Gal 3 on right is bluetooth as I rarely used watch without phone.. right now ity lets me know if I am getting a call..
They do come with a different number but you can sync it with your cell phone number. Go to connections on your watch scroll down and you will see the sync option it's very easy to do.
I've turned the heartbeat sensor to manual only, but most of the times when I take off my watch, I can see the sensor's green light turned on, like it's trying to read my heartbeat rate. Don't know how to fully turn it off, I feel like sometimes it still tries to read the heartbeat rate, even on manual only mode.
That's most likely not for heart rate monitoring. From my understanding, it does this to check that your watch is on your wrist so it can provide certain functionality. For example, if you use the always on display, it will check to make sure the watch is on your wrist. If it finds that the watch isn't on your wrist, it will turn off the always on display. Similarly, if you have a password on your watch, it checks if the watch is on your wrist so that when your remove the watch, it locks the watch automatically. Those are the two I can think of at the moment. You can try checking your heart rate data in the Samsung Health app on your phone (or maybe your watch) to see if you have any 'automatic/periodic' readings that are in there at the times when you've set heart rate measurements to manual. I would expect that during workouts, it would check your heart rate continuously regardless of what setting you have, although I haven't personally tried it.
@@mahmoudelsayed8073 Thank you, my friend. It really can be the watch checking if it's still on my wrist. But most of the times this happens as soon as I take it off after a workout session. So maybe it is indeed trying to check the heartrate after a workout, regardless of setting to manual mode.
Should I get Galaxy Watch or Galaxy Watch 3? I use fitness trackers, I love watch faces, I will listen to music with it, and also will use it for notifications etc. If I get Galaxy Watch I can also get Apple Airpods, but if I get Watch 3 I will have to stick with my Xiaomi BT Earbuds.
AIrpods really arent worth the price, unless you get the pro version. I personally decided to go for a gw3 because I have some money lying around, if you are tight on cash, get the gen 1 version
When they start making videos on how to extend battery life you know these devices suck. I have the gen 1 46mm and the battery lasts me 3 days, now they shrunk it in half, I think it's only good for one day which blows. Keep your money, don't buy this overpriced junk. They should have kept it the same or tried making it slightly larger not shrink thw battery.
@ NutNbutSpeed I have the Galaxy watch on left wrist and Galaxy 3 on right.. 46/45mm.. Galaxy 3 set up as a restore from Galaxy and percentages are close but so far this week Gal 3 is finishing about 2-3% more than original AND it is charging noticeably faster too. i can only imagine what it would be like with the original Gal Watch battery size.
Tomer Levy returned everything as my note 10+ is fine and takes better 10x pictures than 20 ultra and the desired cardiac functions are not yet avail for watch 3
Benjamin Vargas ..It depends on what apps you run..I had idernticl on both left and right wrists for a few days and Gal 3 had shorter battery life noticeably.
If you want long batter life don't get a GW lmao. Garmin solar smartwatches do everything this can do and last up to 30 days each charge. Garmin Instinct Solar and Garmin Tactix Delta Solar make the GW their bitch.
Hi, did I missed something... You mentioned switching off Bluetooth, that means I won't get any notifications. By the way, how do you switch off 'certain' notifications. Example, email notifications? Thanks for this video.
I suggested turning off the Bluetooth if you have the cellular model because if the phone is away from the watch you don't need Bluetooth on but if you only have the Bluetooth model than you obviously can't turn off the Bluetooth because then you won't get any of your notifications. If you want to change the notification settings you do it in the Galaxy watch app on your phone.
This video should be titled, "things you can turn off on your watch"
Or maybe how to unsmart your $400 watch
If i turnoff all those then what is the use of smart watch ,, it is useless

I use all these tips. In addition when I go to bed I turn on power saving and goodnight mode. I can usually get 2.5 to 3 days.
Still using my watch 3 as I love the rose gold. Hopefully will see some improvement after applying some of your tips.
A big thing to is the music player
What ever I watch on UA-cam or whatever song I play it plays directly on my watch
I can't seem to turn that off
That's a main problem, thanks for bringing it up..
Just check media in the pulldown menu on your phone and tap your phone
Very Useful tips!! Before my watch holding for hardly 18hrs. Now with these tips it is lasting for 72 hrs.!!!
Thanks a lot!!
Can you please let us know how much battery life do you get after all of this
Exactly what i thought. No point watcing this if we leave still not knowing what we get.
@@jasonMB999 lol I've already made a purchase and got the active 2 instead. Would be happy to help if you have any questions.

Yes thanks

Great tips! I will use most of them

He is not telling you to turn everything off he is telling you how to turn off features you might not use
Huawei Smartwatches are the best for battery life, at least for now. Maybe the Watch 4 will have 15 days battery life
Best video on battery saving brother
Thank you for your support!
Thank you Tony for the Battery Saving tips. This is an awesome help, continued success.
May as well just leave it on watch only mode. Lol

just gave a few if these a shot. see how we go 👌 cheers mate
Some of these I knew but learned some as well. Using on my galaxy watch 4 classic. Only thing I can't figure out how to clear recent apps on the 4.
What’s this man , Turning the watch off will save a lot of battery 😐

What is the watch face? I like it.
When you change the settings like this how many hours you got extra?
so basically everything is off
Then why anyone will use this??

How about we turn the watch off? It will save a lot of battery. Your tips are not practical by just making some functions disabled.
Gave me an extra 2 days
@@T-wreckz When you change the sheeting like this you got extra 2 days?
@ HighTechCheck cellular away from phone?? I thought cellular watch needs a different phone number? Wonder if I got the wrong watch?
No it doesn't need a different number. Where are you going to insert the additional sim? Galaxy watches don't have sim slot. They just have eSim.
Jesus K perhaps just paying t mobile for more access?
The watch will need its own line of service if you want to use it without your phone. If your on t mobile they have a thing called digits which will allow you to have your main line associated with it so you get all your calls and texts from your main number .a

How much battery do you get if you only use Bluetooth on this watch?
And how much do you get if you only use lte ?
I'm getting very close to 2 days with only bluetooth on
Wifi is good for receiving notifications from the other side of your house from your phone so i turn off bluetooth and have wifi on at home
Great tips! Especially cutting off the notifications that's not that important!
