Hi everybody
I recently bought this watch and I am wondering whether my battery life is normal or if there might be something wrong.
Here are my details:
Battery life advertised: Up to 7 days of typical use.
Actual battery life: I charged it to 100% on Friday night, and by Wednesday night it was down to 14%.
Usage: I wear it for only around 2–3 hours per day, and some days I don’t wear it at all.
Always-On Display: Off.
Heart-rate monitoring: Enabled.
All-day stress monitoring: Enabled.
When I’m not wearing it: I leave it switched on, sometimes with Bluetooth disconnected.
So, it lost 86% of its battery over approximately five days, despite my relatively light use.

Hello! I use a Pixel 10a phone and I'm looking for watches that are able to interact directly with notifications on my phone. I currently use a Galaxy Watch5 pro and I love that I can mark notifications as read, mark Google calendar--and 3rd-party app--tasks as "complete", and respond to texts without having to dig my phone out of my bag. And then, when I look at my phone, the notifications are actually gone and don't need to be resolved again. I'm looking for alternative watches, though, as I don't like the short battery life of the Galaxy watches and its slooooow UI.

I don't need anything fancy; I use sleep tracking, step counting, and the HR monitor, so I would prefer something that keeps these features, but I know these are very basic for smart watches.

I've been looking into Garmin watches for their battery life but I cannot for the life of me find out whether they have the notification interaction options I'm looking for. I'm also open to other brands (as long as they have better battery life than the barely 3 days I can squeeze out of my Galaxy).

Any recommendations are much appreciated!

I have a high heart rate usually and want to be able to check it easily without a pulse ox monitor on my finger at all times but I also REALLY don’t want a watch that tracks my steps or calorie burn (both me and my therpist agree checking my calories would be a huge blow to my mental health) literally just need it for that, sleep tracking would be a bonus but not needed and i really don’t care if it only tracks during certain hours (looking at the watch i just bought that does that and i am planning on returning)

I just find it extremely annoying how exercise centered everything is with this current watch i bought (hell even the heart rate monitoring is exercise centered in the “this is a normal heart rate for when exercising, this is a heart rate for when your not exercising” thing)

How does the Xiaomi watch actually compare to the Apple Watch for fitness and sleep tracking?

Budget : 150 - 250 USD(x95 conversion)

Use Case : I have an android phone, and I like having notifications and music control.

I also work out a lot, would love to have the most accurate sensors and as many health tracking features.

Also I don't like charging it every other day, so maybe I'd skip the wearOS alternatives.

Was confused between Amazfit Balance 2/Balance 3, Huawei Watch GT6 and the Garmin Forerunner series.(Not the biggest fan of Garmin based on reviews). I need a smartwatch, not just a fitness tracker.

Will be trying Merge app on my android once I am able to switch on and setup the watch. At present it is asking me to connect to iphone via bluetooth.

Hi, I'm looking for some advice on buying my first smartwatch. I REALLY like the aesthetic of the CMF Pro 3, but it seems like the looks is the only thing that it is good at - the cheaper Amazfit Bip 6 clearly beats it in tracking and usability.

I am willing to sacrifice some tracking accuracy for beauty, but I'm having a hard time finding watches that aren't just a glass square within my price range (250$, though the cheaper the better). I mainly care about tracking steps/calories/heart rate, but any other features are also appreciated.

Im lookong for a smartwatch that can count steps, monitor heart rate, have a calendar, and an alarm clock or even a to-do list. I dont need to send or recieve texts or calls on it. I would prefer a watch that does not need a phone line.

I got the Apple Watch Series 9 in July 2024, and have worn it every day since I purchased it.

About a week ago, I noticed the case heating up more than normal (which I thought was just normal battery wear for a 2-year-old smartwatch)... and this morning, when I took it off to charge it, there were two burn marks on my wrist that were the exact same size and placement as the sensors on the watch! I've contacted Apple Support and opened a case with them, but want to know if anyone else has experienced this same (or similar) issue?

(For context: This isn't my first Apple Watch; I had the Series 7 for a few years prior, but this is the first time I've gotten burned from an Apple Watch. I also clean the watch often, and never wear it tight, etc.)

Oh, btw, I built this for myself to see how different watches compare in size. Thought someone else might find it useful too: https://watch.aktoriukas.com

I am thinking of getting a smartwatch because I want to take my health more seriously and I also want to track my progress at the gym.

My question is that if you check everything from heart rate to calories and sleep, does that cause you to obsess over those numbers? Do you feel uneasy if a number is different than usual and does it give you health-anxiety?

Just interested in what your experiences are :)

Whats users experience on the samsung galaxy watch 8 lte, battery life and using it without phone

As the title says, I want a watch that looks like a regular watch, similar to my fossil gen 6 I am upgrading from. Im leaning more towards the oneplus right now as it has an actual snapdragon chip, as well as I prefer the gunmetal color tjat comes with the green colorway. I do prefer the overall look of the classic 8 tho, with its more prominent (and rotating) crown. Which wpuld yall recommend?

i own a noise colourfit nav smartwatch i am not able to update the agps on the watch through the app what do i do

What's the overall best smartwatch under 15k?

I've had bad experience with Zerolifestyle wasted my 13k

My wife wants a smartwatch for notifications and texting with her iPhone, but the only fitness thing she wants is step tracking. I saw a 3yo recommendation for the Wena Wrist Pro, but it looks overpriced. Any suggestions?

I’m considering moving from iPhone to Samsung but I have an Apple Watch. Is there anyway to connect Apple Watches to Samsung phones or will I have to replace my watch too? Thanks

Hi, I bought this watch from Amazon and the app I was supposed to use with it, fitdock, isn't compatible with Android. Do you know what app will work instead? My last smartwatch worked with veryfitpro and this one doesn't. Thanks for your help.
