Got my Watch 5 Pro on Wednesday and charged it to 100%, slept with it for 3 nights, AOD on, O2 monitoring, snore detection, and HR to every 10 minutes. Made it to over 3 days and still had 18%!!! TIP, don't use Google Assistant, it drains the battery faster!
@Emraan Alaqband exactly... i am still wondering how the hell pple say they get that much days, i have it brand new on my wrist with everything set as he said even before watching this video even turned the "hey google" feature off cos i noticed it drains more % of the battery but i have never has more than close to 2 days ever. Am i missing something 🤔? When my watch is full off charger, the batter never states i have more than 2 days.
@juandiegosarmiento137 hi, I have since then switched the watch by getting a new one on another color , and with the same settings, I get 3 days 15 hours on the average till date on that. So may be the first i had came with a factory problem.
Thanks for making the video. So far my experience is that I'd get roughly the same life as my Galaxy Watch 4 Classic in terms of battery. I have now turned off WiFi (which I left on on the 4 Classic), but have made no other changes. I'll see what difference it makes. The biggest let down so far is Google Wallet not working at all in Ireland on the 5 Pro, but it did on the 4 Classic.
With the "hey Google" feature enabled, the battery consumption of Google assistant was a staggering 54% !! Nuts. Without it and with every feature enabled like auto brightness, continuous monitoring of everything, WiFi, GPS, workout detection, full sleep monitoring including O² monitoring and snore detection, the battery life is between 26h - 30h for me. I also try to go on walks and workout everyday, so I'm confident I use almost all features daily.
My heart rate is constantly going all day and use it for calls and maps at work and still come home with 85% wayyyyy better then the 4 which wouldn't last half a day. And this watch is beautiful
Hey can you help me please so on my galaxy watch 5 pro I was just looking at something and when I went to settings like your turn on and off buttons are on the left right well mines on the right can you please help me
TY for this. I just got my watch 5pro and was wondering why it was just barely lasting over a day. Going to try your methods to see what kind of improvements I get.
@Maribel O let me know how the watch is doing now as I had most settings off and cannot even get 2 days.. now I have just 10 days to decide if I will return it as I only got it because gal 4 classic had such terrible battery life.
@@kenroman777 Even with all the adjustments I was barely getting a full day. Called Samsung and tech support determined my watch was defective. I exchanged it for a new one and this one is working much better. I average a little over 2 days now.
What is the back of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro made of? I heard from some reviews that is plastic but Titanium Sapphire and plastic doesn't go together or? 😁
Great! I've subscribed. There are so many light weight reviews but they don't give any details. I had the Huawei GT2 Pro so I'm used to a weeks battery life and need all the help I can get with all the settings. I've found it quite confusing when there are options which don't actually measure anything, they're just there for me to enter details from another device?? A full, in depth set up video would be fabulous if you have the time.
Pretty much the set up I use, other than Goodnight mode which I have turned on when working - notifications come through on my PC, AoD isn't required. Getting about 4-5 days with a custom watch face with minimal elements and a very efficient AoD design.
I started with the Galaxy Live smartwatch, the one that had a camera in the band. I mostly use Sammy watches but have a bunch of other ones just for some change. Just ordered the Watch 5pro and it'll be my first brand new watch from Samsung
Quality content mate, I just got the 5 pro, an upgrade from the original galaxy watch. You've confirmed a lot of the config I need to run this watch up to 4 days. Pretty powerful watch though, the snore recording, blood-oxy, emergency routines are pretty good things to have. I'm stoked.
I have exatly the same setting always! I ordered a watch 5 pro lte which keept the battery for 2.5 days . then had to return it and order another one to get the samsung offer with it. the new one keeps the battery for 1.5 day! it maked me screan! shouldnt be like that. should I return it?
I learned the hard way, I think. lol I bought the Gear S3 Frontier Amazon Refurbished for $120 2yrs ago & it still gets 2 days easily with everything on. I decided to get a Samsung Refurbished Watch 4 Classic. It wouldn't last a single day! I immediately put it back in the box & seen Samsung had a trade in Holiday Sale for the 5 Pro. So I traded the 4 Classic for the 5 Pro Grey Titanium. A good Smartwatch should last 2 days minimum, imo. I paid only $140 for the 5 Pro because Samsung gave me over a $100 more than what I paid for my 4 Classic just a few days earlier. lol - That's almost a hack, I have a bit over $230 total in everything
But leaving your phone at home when jogging, priceless. Stream music no dl necessary. You're gonna need to charge it every night regardless if you use any of the features that prompted you to buy the best watch they offer. Want a watch don't buy the pro. Want an independent health monitor, phone, maps, then you're going to use the battery. Simple
@@3rdEyeGnosis the battery on the non lte variant won't need to be charged every night. I've only had mine for 2 days so it's still learning my usage pattern, but I have everything turned in except the AOD. Currently been off charge for 26 hours andy battery is sitting at 60%. It easily make it through 2 day, possibly close to 3. That works for me.
Have LTE version and I can say I'm impressed so far.Go for a jog in morning for an hour with no phone and only dropped 5 %. Definitely can get 2 days,hoping I can squak three if necessary.
what use is it to measure your HR when you've been still for 10 minutes. It'll probably be pretty low as you are in rest for a while. I'm still using a gear sport and I have set it at continous.
@@Gabriel-ue3jf I only use continuous and use the full feature set except location during the day, at night I set it to battery saving mode as I don't wear it then. Gives me about 2 days this way.
Nice,got mine on Tuesday evening,charged it fully and it currently says 1 day 14 hrs left,on par for 3 days 20 hrs,that's with sleep tracking and no workouts
Thank you for your vids. Specially on the smart watches. I need a pro review on the charger, so I got the fast wireless charger duo (which I really like) and it can charge my phone and buds/watch at the same time wirelessly but I think the charger comes with the watch is faster. Would please give a review on that as well!? Comparing samsung fast wireless charger duo with the charger comes with the watch's box! Thank you.
Mine seems to drain quick I turn off all the stuff that needed to be off to save battery life is there something I'm doing wrong or mine is defect? I even reset the whole watch n reboot it
I have the the Galaxy 5, and I get email notification but I can t read them on the phone. It sends me a notification, but it makes me read the email on the phone. I can't read the emails on my phone. Does anyone have the 5 and are you having the same issues?
Fairly disappointed in the fact that with always on display battery life sucks. A regular watch has battery life for every day until you have to change your battery. In my case I have the citizen watch where it's solar power so yeah battery life is fantastic. Wish smart watch had longer battery
Lol if you don’t use it at all you might get 2 days, but if you do a workout and have music streaming from it it ain’t even gonna last a day and I had all the settings set the way you described
I get 5 to 7 Days of battery life as I turned off all the gimmicky health monitoring options and keep it in battery saving mode. You also don't need Wi-Fi and GPS when it gets that information from your smartphone.
I received mine on Tuesday and the most I can get out of it is a day and a half with or without google assistant turned on and heart rate monitoring set to every 10 minutes. My ticwatch pro 3 lasts almost 3 days with assistant and health monitoring active. Honestly I was hoping for better from such an expensive watch. I also don't like having to hang the charging pad halfway off my desk so I can fit the watch band around it to charge it. Who approves these designs at Samsung because they need to pay better attention to the competition. If I get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom obviously I'm not asleep but Samsung says I was and Ticwatch shows me as awake as it captures all the breaks in sleep. Temperature doesn't work here in the states.
The watch is leaning your usage patterns for the first 48 hours, battery will rinse fast. After the usage pattern message disappears under battery settings, then you will achieve the maximum battery.
Impossible.. I'm a watch 5 user. the battery dies very quickly even if it is not attached to my wrist without using it. For example, when I took it out of my arm at 10 o'clock last night, the battery was 44%, at 08 in the morning it was 18% + NFC off, WIFI off, location off, BLE off for battery test). I'm very regretful. I bought the watch 3 days ago. I am waiting for the art to be sold at a reduced price. Stay away from Samsung brand watches. Also, when I was buying the art, I said that I am a Xiaomi phone user and it was said that all its features are working, but if your phone is not Samsung, blood pressure and ECG will not work because of the restriction, you cannot download the relevant application from the Samsung store. The decision is yours. To use the Samsung Galaxy watch, you need a power bank with wireless charging. DEFINITELY...😂

Watching on my fold4 and using my watch 5 pro. Great deals on Samsung. The big to change to help charging, is to turn off 'display while charging'

Great information Chigz
Thank you for keeping us up on this! 👍💥👍

Great video! Thank you sir!
What about enabling "ok Google"? That takes up battery life. It's it worth enabling?
Unless you're on the go then no point tbh
I'm in debating if i should choose HR measurement every 10 minutes or manual. I want sleep tracking so will the watch record REM with HR on manual?

Does pressing back button instead of using screen save battery ?
What I want to know is if I can take the battery out of the 5 along with the back and fit it onto my 4 classic.
No
how do you clean man?? 24H is a long time :P
Chigz you are the best
Thanks Much !
With the battery size increase and the tweaks it's just barely caught up to my TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra Gps.
Yes your right, Ticwatch uses the more energy efficient Snapdragon chipset and the screen tech is also next level.
even after turning all the things off i still get only 3d12h battery life
is this a problem?
How much better is the Galaxy 5 over the 4? - is the 4 still worth buying?
Yes much better.
You can leave GPS off, the watch will automatically use use it anyway during workout.
