One of the things I want this sort of watch for is to regularly monitor my heart rate. I've been using a Galaxy Watch 3 (42mm) with continuous heart rate monitoring enabled and easily get about 36-40hrs of battery life. I tried the 42mm Galaxy Watch 4 Classic and couldn't even get 12hrs out of it with the exact same settings as on the Watch 3. I ended up returning the 4. Rather than having to turn off useful features, Samsung just needs to do a better job at optimizing battery usage.
give them a couple more generations, this is the first gen running wear os. Can also say the classic has poorer battery like then the standard watch.... my wife can get 2 days out of her standard 4 (without any setting modifications) where as even with many of the features turned off I am still barely able to get a day out of my classic. Also don't know about you I have a lot of the features on my S22 plus turned off, because samsung has always offered more features, for the wow factor and convenience at the cost of battery life
Thank you. I can now manage my watch to give me the functions I want and increase my battery life. It was only lasting 6-8hours. Now I get 24 hours. Thanks!!
Why turn off most of the best-selling features of the watch? I may as well buy a cheap 10 dollar watch at Walmart if I cant use all those nice features without having to charge every day.
Pro tip: just pop the watch on the charger in the morning while you getting done.. 30min to a hour of charge will last you up untill the next day again. You might have to charge again at night for a few min if you have been doing alot of workouts. But taking off the watch while your doing something else isn't a problem. Apple has been selling like hot cake despite having bad battery life for the longest of time. Not the end of the world. And your still able to enjoy all the features.
There is another tip worth mentioning. I have the LTE model. Turning ON the Airplane mode and then Turn ON BlueTooth. BT can work well on Airplane Mode. While connected to the phone this is all you need anyway. In case you want to switch back to LTE, or use WiFi etc, simply turn back OFF Airplane Mode.
This was extremely helpful. What helped me was when you explained it for the LTE versions. That's what made it click for me. Still a bit of a learning curve for me. But I'm getting there. Thanks for sharing.
Got mine 15.12.21 and repaired twice. Battery last 28-29 hrs before n now about 25hrs with almost everything turned off. It's now a sleep watch instead of a smart watch.
Touch sensitivity was eating into my battery on samsung watcg 4 classic 42 mm as it kept on turning on the screen every 5 seconds even if watch was not in use. Thanks for the video. I guess the watches with bezels shoukd have it off for sure
thanks for the video. i made this changes already. But when playing youtube on phone the watch also plays it . can i change this setting? thanks again!
Useful video - thanks. I'm curious how you get the expected battery life so high. I think I have all your recommendations in place but still I only get estimated battery life of 1 day 18 hrs on Power saving mode.
@@xGrim_Reaper07 Things must have improved slightly. When I check it now, I'm seeing estimated 1 d 17h left with battery at 75%. Changing to Power Saving Off, I see 1 d 11h left. Pretty much resigned myself to having to charge daily, and trying to work that into part of my daily routine so it becomes habit. What does bug me though is I also use a Fitbit Watch model, which somehow gives me around 5-6 days, for pretty similar features to what I use on the Galaxy.
I got 2 solid days of my GAlaxy 4.. how??? with Large black and white face!! Sure, no 'shortcuts ' from that face, but you can set whatever you need in a way of widgets! it's fully functional. With regular usage, I was able to have it via Saturday and entire Sunday! Of course over night I did turn it off. .at 1054pm I still have: 19%..
I have the galaxy watch 4, I had the S20 ultra and was getting 2 days of battery. After upgrading to the S22 Ultra yesterday my watch just says "learning usage patterns", how long does it say this as if I remember when I bought the watch it had the estimated time from the start. I did a soft reboot but still says it
Coming off the Gear s3 with my same battery settings. I dont need it poking me from my laziness lol. Nor do I need to know when I'm moving...I am well aware when I'm doing sumthin like a workout. Bixby nd assistant disturb me like alexa...nosey 😆
key thing with any smart watch, only have the features on you are using. Going out for a run or going to the gym, much like you change your clothes before and after change your settings.
How do you turn the features back on after you put it in watch only mode? My watch and phone are not allowing it. Also, how many hours did you get on the watch only mode on the one without the bezel? I got ten days at 96% on the one without the bezel. I’m wondering if something is wrong with this watch. I know you said the systems are different but my galaxy 2 lasted so much longer and my family member has the one with the bezel and his is lasting much longer
I've had my watch for 3 days, last night, I charged at 10pm, battery was flat by 9am. something is not right. I had most of these savings settings already and have not even set up bixby. frustraiting.
@@mr.mahiuddin after an update, which was three updates ago it rectified the issue, I forgot to update the post, thanks for asking to remind me. all has been good since then. given it's size there's nothing really they can do for better battery life, the battery is tiny as to be expected to fit on your wrist without being bulky.
Thanks for very useful video ! I have just one question for you, if you have a time to answer, please. Can I change the band/strap on this watch with any other band 20mm, for example, from my other watch or from regular watch store, or I must buy only band made for galaxy watch 4 ? Thanks a lot and best regards for you and your family 🏆
If you every feature not enable for tracking , then what is the need for this watch. Better we can go for cheap fitness watch with 24 days battery life
Is it possible to disable the bezel so I don't go to the menu when I turn or rotate. I want the bezel even when turning not to go to the menu, I need to stay in front of the hands to use the tachymeter
I just wish you speak a little slower when you are showing what to do on the watch. Hehe I had to pause all the time to follow what you were saying, but thank you for the video it helped.
Hi Sir, Thanks for your great video. I really like this. I already bought Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 46mm Bluetooth model. I want to ask you please, in last part of your video 08:37 it shows that the watch will work 2 days and 18 hours and the battery percentage was 85%. So, when it was 100% i believe it will show 3 days ( without saving mode) For me when i charged it fully then it will show only 1 day and 10 hours. Please advise me
Go through all the settings that I show in the video to check if anything is draining your battery. Also just try using the watch as you would. My watch shows 2 or 3 days but hardly lasts more than day and a half.
I have a question. I have a Samsung active 2 BT now and the battery does the absolute MINIMUM of what I want. I am considering a galaxy watch 4 BT or the LTE version. I assume the LTE will run quicker out of power than my current active 2, but what about the BT version? thanks
Hello, and please write me or check how much this watch can withstand, assuming that we turn off all sensors, turning the watch into a band for notifications and NFC payments? Of course, AoD disabled. Someone checked this configuration?
Kinda annoying that the best advice for extending the battery life of a smartwatch is to basically disable smartwatch features. If I wanted an expensive wristband that told time and nothing else, I'd buy a Rolex.
@@spiderbball1 Mine once fully charged up mentions 1 day and 18 hours. I do all the things mentionned here and there to optimize it but doesn't go past 32 or 34 hours.

How to turn off the UA-cam icon on the watch screen while I am watching UA-cam on my phone?? As I don't need to see it on my phone, it drains battery very unnecessarily, please help thanks
If you have to turn off default things to make the battery life last longer then these watches shouldn't be called smart watch. Should be called dumb or stupid watch. These watches are piece of crap for the price you pay. Just buy a normal watch, you will save money. I have a new Samsung Galaxy Watch 4. What a waste of money. It's a piece of crap because of the battery life. I have to charge every day which means it's not environmentally friendly. Wake up Samsung.

I agree with u, sadly its the only watch with rotating bezel
💯
Agree if you turn everything off… but he just showed us what is draining the battery its our choice what to use and what to turn off.
It's only for information, if you ever out of charge, then you know what to do to reserve batter till you have charger
Why? Because Wear OS isn't optimized well for Samsung's watch, which explains the horrible battery life.
@Digital Adventures! How much total battery life do you get from doing all this stuff you showed except from enabling battery saver mode?
Pro tip: just pop the watch on the charger in the morning while you getting done.. 30min to a hour of charge will last you up untill the next day again. You might have to charge again at night for a few min if you have been doing alot of workouts. But taking off the watch while your doing something else isn't a problem.
