Diminished Battery Time

Don B. 9 months ago

I've noticed that it used to take a long time to charge my device, but it used to hold a charge for 1 week. After the last update, I now notice my device charges a lot faster but only lasts half as long. Has anyone else noticed this?

no, my battery life has been the same since the update

Thanks for the replies. I'll look into it.

You can also restart the watch by holding the button down until you see a triangle and then letting go. A restart may help

Or do what this 4 weeks owner did today and let it run all the way down to dead, then plug it in for an hour and discover it only had a 3% charge. Pressed the button, triangle came up and then started charging at its normal, pretty-quick pace. Who really knows, but I'd guess charging while 'powered up" might be the way to go forthright.

UPDATE: Previous charge must have been a glitch when it charged to 100% in like 45 minutes. I charged from 4%. Today, it took almost 2 hours to reach 100% which is what I am used to seeing. I charged from 5%. I am assuming all will be OK now. We will see.
