This would be an amazing watch except the battery life makes it unusable. I’ll go months without using the watch and then every now and then think I should give it another try.
Basically I have to keep it on the charger more than it’s worn. I bought 3 chargers, one for home, truck, and office. It will not last 24 hours on a charge. I’m constantly having to keep up with whether it’s on the charger or not. Did a step competition at work. Lost a lot of steps bc I’d leave the desk and walk around the factory and realize it was still charging. Try wearing it a day and I’ll wake up with it fully drained.
I bought this for four purposes:
1. Timing my runs, particularly my mile run time
2. Tracking sleep
3. Tracking HR
4. Counting steps
I’ve never succeeded in tracking more than 2-3 nights of sleep on any week. All it takes is one time forgetting to put it on the charger during my commute to work and my charging streak is broken.
2 through 4 are impossible unless I plan my day around stopping by at a charging point at least twice a day and stop for charges. As I cannot center my life around keeping this watch charged, it’ll usually sit unused for months, except for testing my mile time.
Does anyone have any suggestions on where I should look? I read the 12 page battery thread and found nothing actionable there, albeit interesting information.
