Got my ZenWatch yesterday and charged it up and used it all day today.. but after just 13 hours - the battery was down to 5%. Most of the reviews I've read suggest 24-36 hours of use.
Anyone else finding the batteries are a little light?
Give the battery a bit of time to settle in. And plus your using the watch a bit more intensively than designed for.
I would be very interested how you'll go after a few days, and a few charge cycles.

The reviews are definitely biased. Mine dropped 50% in only 4 hrs with brightness sett to minimum. Totally dissatisfied with this watch. The performance doesn't even come close to matching the looks.
my wife takes it off the charger at 7:30. When I looked last night around 12:00, it still had 35%. She has it always-on and I think brightness at 3...
I did notice that it seem to disconnect from her phone at a shorter distance than my moto would. Both watches connected to note 4s.
Here is something to think about. I had the moto 360 and returned it primarily do to battery life. Had it for two weeks and hoped it would get better but I would take it off the charger at 530 am and it would be dead before 5 pm sometimes even early afternoon. I got this watch set it up and charged it over night. Took it off the charger at 530 and it was dead by noon the first day. Second took it off the charger at 530 and it lasted until 5. I was thinking I would have to return it but yesterday I took it off at 530 am and at 11 pm it still had 13%. I have been going always on, brightness at 2 or 3. I get a ton of email and text. What I'm saying is maybe it's too early to tell....I got two full days with the gear neo but it just wasn't as cool.
The battery life is excellent here.
One of the review says the battery is horrible if you have "unlock my phone" feature checked on Zenwatch manager. So try to deactivate that feature and try it.
The battery life on my Zenwatch is excellent. I am confident that it will last me the whole day even with active use.
Usually there may be some 3rd party apps that can drain the battery, such as incompatible watch Face.
Couldn't be happier with the battery life! Getting through a full 12-16 hour day with plenty to spare.
Seems like the better battery life is holding up. Took it off the charger at 530 and it is now 10 and I still have 18%.....haven't changed my habits. Won't last even close to two days. But one full day is acceptable.

I think you're right - on day two, I'm at 33% after the same time elapsed. I actually don't use it too intensely and I leave the brightness at 1. We'll see how it goes over the next week.

Definitely, in fact, I removed all the Wear apps from my phone because Wellness was killing my phone's performance, then when I noticed the Watch still thought it was using Wellness, I factory reset the watch and reinstalled just a few apps and left things like 'unlock my phone' off... and it's doing better today.
Thanks everyone for the input.
Keep us updated
I'm waiting for it to be released in Australia.. getting impatient.

I unplugged my watch at 6:30 yesterday morning. At 7:30 pm it still had 63% left. I don't bother with any type of wellness app, at all. I don't bother with any type of 'find my phone' or 'find my watch' or phone unlocking app. I don't use the always on feature, but keep brightness on 3 due to being outside quite often. I use the watch strictly for notifications, and replying to Hangouts messages via the voice input. I have 3 weather locations set in Google Now that all show on my watch, and I play Words With Friends with a dozen different people. Between all that, plus emails, texts and calls I get 100s of notifications throughout each day. To have 63% left at the end of the workday is very acceptable. I could easily go out after work till the wee hours of the morning without any worry of the battery giving out before I do.
Mine goes all day and evening with plenty of juice to spare. I have taken no measures to preserve the battery. I use it to unlock my moto x as well. No issues with battery life that I have seen after 3 days of using the watch.
After the first day of crappie battery life. I am getting a good 18 hours. I'm not doing anything either to preserve battery life. It is WAY better than my moto 360 experience. I usually only have 10 to 13 % left when I put it on the charger but I would charge every night anyway.
It's been good for me... I've been using it with the display always on plus one or more watch faces with weather. Gets me about 16 hours or so. I've been using turn by turn navigation plus media control quite a bit. I've also spent an hour or more playing with facer watch faces.

My watch has now been off the charger for a little over ten hours and I still have 63% battery life left. Holy crap! Best battery life yet, by far, since I've had the watch. Guess it takes about a week to settle in. Couldn't be happier.
Update: It's now been about 13 hours off the charger, and my watch just hit 50%... Starting to think this 2 day battery life claim holds water... Very happy right now!
Much improved now... 14.5 hrs on constantly and I'm at 52%.. which means it should be good for another 14.5 hrs which is 29 hours total run time.
I only need 18 so getting 29 is more than excellent!
I think the battery "guestimate" needs a short while to settle in with such a small battery. The first couple days I actually saw my battery percentage go *up* 3-5% between checking it. When it's saying it's low the first few days you have it, it likely actually isn't.
One last note - as has been mentioned before - some apps can really just suck the watch's battery dry, even apps that seem like they shouldn't. I hope Goog gets a handle on this because there's no really good way that I can see to know in advance other than installing and checking battery use over a day.

Can anyone post anything they have done differently to get the better life. I'm getting close to 2 weeks with it, have seen it get better after it "settled in", but I'm still trying to get a little better. I can make it through the day, but usually only barely and I'm over the constantly fiddling with it part of ownership. I get maybe 50-60 notifications a day. I've tried uninstalling apps, trying to stick with stock watchfaces, it's really hard to tell.
I'm really looking forward to the next update so that I can see what apps are using the battery. I tried the Wear Battery App, but someone suggested they thought it was draining the battery itself. Just seeing if there is a consensus on what works and what doesn't. I have removed almost all the ASUS apps, the unlock one really helped a lot. Thanks.

I have no such problem but a co-worker was having terrible drain and he uninstalled the Asus Zenwatch manager itself and it fixed his problem. Best advice I can give is to uninstall all the apps other than the android wear app, and maybe even kill it just to see what happens, and then slowly add them back in.
For comparison, I took mine off the charger at 7am this morning so after 12 hours I'm at 55%. I dim the display but don't turn it off. I'm using a nice face from the Intellicom app and I probably get several hundred notifications over the course of the day. I'm more than happy with this device.
To start, I'll say I was moderately impressed with the moto 360 battery life when I got it a couple weeks ago based on all the poor things I had heard about it. My issue however is that it seems like if I use any watch face other than the stock ones that come installed already, the battery struggles to last more than 3 hours. When using something like minimal or classic (pre installed faces) I have no trouble getting 18 hours and having a bit to spare.
Could an element like having a weather display be whats hurting it so bad? I think most of the faces I tried show weather, but only update every hour or two hours. I can not imagine one or two updates eating up 80% of the battery.
Some of depends on what watch face you're using. Some show way more information than your standard stock watch faces so that uses up way more battery doing that. Could also be some are badly made and so therefore use more battery. What faces are you using?
yeah.. i agreed... custom watch face eats more battery.. even using simple custom that not showing weather information.. i can feel the different when using the one came preinstalled.
It shouldn't work like this way. I will buy a Moto 360 because of the feature of changing watch face.
Here are two of the watch faces I've been using and getting very poor battery life with: (both with ambient mode off)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.smartwatchface.watch.face.ranger.military
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stmp.minimalface
I'm currently using The Hundreds face and not sure how it will hold up. This is my first day with it. Trying with Ambient mode on.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=wearable.android.breel.com.thehundreds
In comparison however I have used the next few with very good battery results. I'm thinking the weather has something to do with it, because the ones that last all day do not show weather
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.smartwatchface.speeds.pro.watch.face
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.atektura.dotswatchface
It seems like it is the faces that you are using. Rather than buying separate face apps, I use a single app called "Watch Faces for Android Wear" that has a gallery of thousands of free faces that you can download. I have never noticed a significant impact on battery life with any of the faces that I have tried. I usually get a good 18-20 hours with my watch and these faces.
I use many watch faces via Watchmaker app and haven't found any battery differences. My watch seems to consume about 3.5% of battery per hour.
For anyone that cares, I used "The Hundreds" watch face today. set the background to "random" and had ambient mode on all day. Got about 10 hours and it was at 20% when I stuck it back on the charger. This is okay for me on a weekend, but M-F when I work 12-15 hours a day I need it to last ALL day. Will probably use stock faces during the week and custom on the weekend unless I can find one I like that doesn't chew through battery like my dog eats those damn greenies.
you can use watchmaker and set the max fps to 15 , works good and doesn't take much battery
You mentioned that the "Ranger" watch face that you are using uses a lot of battery life. I have had the opposite experience with Ranger. I use it daily and get very good battery life with it. One thing I have noticed though and it applies to most, if not all watch faces is that battery life is dramatically impacted by the use of "ambient mode". Use of ambient mode guarantees me less than 8 hours of battery life with just about any watch face.
Also, if you don't mind having to push the side button on your watch to see the time, you can set it to theater mode and get about two days use.

Dave, do you have the weather enabled also on Ranger?
I've used ranger, without ambient and turned off tilt feature, and I get at least a full day of battery life. With the mentioned features on, I have to charge at least twice a day. With the tilt feature on, I noticed just walking around the screen would turn on all the time. Maybe, those having battery issues, should try turning off the tilt feature then report back about any battery issues. Currently, I use Odyssey and occasionally I can get a day and a half before needing a charge.

I'm currently using a custom watch face on Watchmaker. It shows moon phases, time, date, temperature, what kind of weather it is, and battery life for both watch and phone. My watch has been off the charger since about 6:20 this morning, and i'm at 75%. I've only used 15% of my battery in just under 12 hours. What are you people doing to make your watches die so quickly? Although, I do have wrist turn turned off and ambient mode turned off. I work on a sales floor and a register so wrist turn gets annoying, lol.

How often are you checking your watch? Messing with notifications from your phone?
Usually check my watch about 3 times every hour (if anything important comes through, my watch will vibrate so there's really no use in constantly turning it on to check for notifications). My girlfriend and I text a lot so i'm constantly getting text notifications. I get weather updates (2 cards, one for home, one for work) as well as traffic updates. Even when I traveled earlier this week and had maps going (2hr round trip), I still had great battery life. Finished off a day with 30% battery (the navigation really took a toll but I made it through about 18ish hours up to that point.). Google fit is also constantly running and I walk an average of 10k-13k steps a day so it's tracking a lot.
My phone battery, though.....wow, lol. Talk about piss poor when the watch is connected. I have to keep it in battery saver mode so it'll last me

As much as I like the Ranger face, I will not use it if the only way for a full days battery life is turning off the tilt feature. With ambient AND tilt off, we are just getting further from a watch, and closer to a gimped phone.

Imho, if I don't need to look at it, then there is no need for the screen to be on. I work in the car audio install business so I'm constantly moving, therefore I turn off tilt. And to honestly compare the moto to a phone, that's just ridiculous. It's not even close to a phone. It's just a fully customizable watch that allows you to see most notifications from your phone. In my line of work, I don't have time to constantly reach in my pocket to check my phone. So to each his own. I'm getting a day or more out of the battery. I'm very happy with the way it performs. No complaints. I'm just saying, it's a way to increase battery life if you need it.
I have also noticed better battery life using stock watch faces. I use Facer and paid for the "premium" watch faces, which often have date, weather and battery level on the face (some even have the digital time too). I've been switching back and forth between the Motorola custom watch face and I get much better battery life with it. Today while using the stock custom watch face I was left at 55% battery after nearly 15 hours of use. I keep the display at level 1, turn to wake on, ambient mode off, I get weather updates regularly, all texts and some emails; every notification is set to vibrate as well.
When using a Facer watch face my watch will often die by the time I get home. Sometimes it'll die sooner depending on how much I used it that day, but all in all the differences in battery life is substantial between the different watch faces.

I use FaceMaker and have good battery life. Took it off the charger at 9 AM and now at 5:26, it's showing 68% battery\17 hrs left.
I have a 2 year old S4 Mini (GT19195), currently running latest stable CM 13.
The phone is working fine except for the occasional (once a week or 2) unexplained battery drain.
With my fairly light daily use, the battery is lasting over 2 days. <And can usually run 4 or more hours screen on.> However, in the last few months, at random times (even with phone asleep - screen off for > 10 min, so presumably in doze), the phone will heat up, and battery will drop 5-10% per minute. After the phone shuts off from dead battery, recharging and restarting the phone will return things to normal, until the next time.
During these episodes, the phone behaved normally, I did not notice any lag on waking up the phone, switching/opening apps, etc. The battery meter page showed no unusual process using the battery (none of the process actually showed any increase in % battery use); except for the battery life dropping off a cliff as I watch. <I noted that the battery usage stat never adds up to 100% even in normal use ... It might show 10% screen, 5% Android, etc, but all that only adds up to 50% or so from full charge to when the battery is near dead.>
Anyone seen this before? Is this a sign of an ailing battery, or something else? Can this be a software problem - like something running away in the background? <Of note is that this happened once when I had completely wiped the phone and had the fresh install of CM 13 + Gapps (micro) ... so if this is software, it would be something in stock Android, rather than a 3rd party app.>
Thanks for reading & responding.
@JohnSoong
This sounds like the processor is stuck on max frequency. Either it is an app(s) playing up or some other process that is keeping the CPU working when it should sleep.
The first thing I would do is install BetterBatteryStats app or something similar to see what is keeping the device awake. You could also try to grab a logcat, but you would need to catch the incident and either plug into a pc with adb or run an app like catlog

That sounds like an issue I've had for several months, also running CM13 (Official) nightlies & Open GApps micro, unfortunately I've never had the time investigate (well I did once but it worked fine, I couldn't recreate the problem). It is currently happening less than once a week so not a major issue for me.
I've noticed several times that the phone felt hot, I've then used the Trepn profiler app, it would show the web browser running at 30-50% cpu constantly, so stuck as per @noppy22, though not at 100%. I have tried all the major browsers and they have all done it at some point, also most have crashed at some point, which I suspect may be related. Normally just the browser app crashed but yesterday using Chrome the phone FC and rebooted itself. Crashes seem to happen when I touch screen or scroll (though one may not have been when touching). Also XDA app crashed (1st time) when scrolling a couple of weeks ago, so probably not just browser issue on some sites as I thought previously, but might be unrelated. The stock battery meter did not show particularly high battery usage by browsers, though were a little elevated in % terms but hard to tell due to different usage patterns and not checking when things are good! I have noticed a bit of lag, which now makes we run trepn, if it shows high than expected usage by an app I close the app, which fixes it even if I go back to the same web page. This morning I woke up and my phone was off, I put it in my night-time profile (wifi & data off) that normally only uses a few % overnight but last night it must have used more than 30% of battery that was left, first time this has happened.
The other thing to consider is how good is your battery? At 2yrs old it could be tired if it's had a hard life (though yours maybe not) or you have allowed it to get very hot eg I did one trip using gps nav with phone mounted in windscreen cradle driving direct into the Aussie sun when my battery was about 2.5yrs old, thinking back I now think this was when I first noticed my battery was really dropping of quickly when around ~40% charge (though it was faster with more charge remaining also than my new battery, I would say), so think I the high temp the phone got to that day affected the battery. I think 4hrs of screen on time may be marginal, I was only getting about 3 to 3.5 when my battery dropped off fast, my new battery is giving me 6hrs SOT (mostly using browser app), so possibly you just need a new battery as only one other user has reported high cpu usage like I have.
Battery stats not adding up to 100% is normal.
I've just installed BetterBatteryStats, so I'll give it a week of so and see if it catches anything. So far nothing unusual in the stats.
I am leaning towards this being a hardware issue, likely the battery. Since the phone responded fairly normally during the overheat & battery drain episodes, this does not seem to me an app taking over the CPU. If the CPU was occupied by an app, shouldn't everything else be slowed down?
I have so far noticed no particular pattern to these episodes, and I cannot reproduce it at will. It is infrequent enough for now that I can live with it (although an unexpected dead battery is annoying.) I will see if the monitoring app pick up anything.
Hey guys,
Maybe you have to try to flash your stock or custom kernel again.
Thats probably the problem.

When I got mine a few years ago the media process kept getting stuck and overheating/draining my phone and even a reboot wouldnt fix it. I found out because I was using the system panel app and monitoring cpu of system processes. I ditched and deleted the gallery app (it was trying to create thumbnails for 100+gb of photos and videos) for quick pic v.4.5.2 on every phone I've used ever since and haven't look back.
i have both a silver and black hwatch, neither of which are more than a few months old. ive had a hwatch using the same mostly black watch face and the same brightness and tilt to wake settings since 11/2015 so im pretty familiar with my battery. normally at the end of a day im at 40% or so, 25% if its been a really long 18-20h day. plenty of battery to never worry about having to get it to a charger mid-day, even if i got out after my 12h shift at work. last wed i was wearing my black watch and leaving said 12h shift and noticed my face was dark, and my battery saver was on because i was only at 9%. didnt think much of it, every now and then i have a hiccup and a simple power cycle and full charge fixes it. but the next day my silver one also was struggling to make it through a non-work day. i hadnt made any recent changes or installed any new apps. the fairly terrible wear battery stats listed watch idle highest at around 7-8%, followed by screen, daily tracking and up at 1-3% each. i dont use the daily tracking app, but there doesnt appear to be a way to disable it, so no new pattern changes. my pixel did upgrade to oreo on 8/21, but i had no issues that day or the next. figured a factory reset may be in order, so i reset the black hwatch but the same problems persist. im not usually getting quite down to battery saver by the end of the day, but i definitely need to put it on the charger as soon as i get home and today my silver watch did run all the way down kind of out of nowhere, since it didnt come off the charger until around 10am and was at 15% by 10-1015pm. any thoughts?
They are simply useless watches!

Unfortunately my new H W2 Classic (bought only 20 days ago) battery life is about 4-5 hours when worn on hand, ADO ON, WiFI OFF, Brightness 3, Wrist Gestures OFF, Tilt to Display is ON.
At these same settings when i place the watch on my table, it will last for less than 6 hours and I wake up to a watch running on fumes!
I am returning it as I read so many people have done so with defective batteries, MOST certainly.
Good luck finding someone willing to share any real useful info, AS no one seems to know what the heck is happening!
Personally, I think these watches are CHEAPLY BUILT.
MY SMASUNG GEAR S3 IS NOT MUCH BETTER EITHER, though it is supposed to be KOREAN!!!
I am really disappointed with these HUGE names who fail to make a simple watch! TAKE A LESSON FROM APPLE! Limited functionality but even their Model 2 (which I have) does more than these watches and with real battery life that lasts at least a day!
Now, we wait for Apple to make their watches run on Android!
One thing to note, as I am writing this response I noticed the Power Usage on my watch increased 3% by Google Play Services and my battery dropped from 83% to 79% in about 3 minutes! Sure at this rate I will have no power in about an hour and a half! Could it be Google Play Services killing these watches?!
I've always had fantastic battery life on my original until the last few months
Was the first time I noticed this since my battery is performing worst I have ever seen.
So I charged the phone to 100%, let it plugged in for some extra minutes then unplugged it. Next I watched a nearly 2 hours movie on Netflix using the inner screen, everything is off except Wi-Fi, battery is still 100% when I hit Play. While the Active time in Battery usage was somewhat correct (it said 1h44m instead of 1h55m, the exact duration of the movie), the usage was not. It said that Netflix only used ~8% of the battery, while battery life was already at ~70%, and I added everything else that used battery together like Google Play Services, One UI Home, Smart Suggestions etc... they could never meet the rest 22% of the actual battery used.

It's a Z Fold 3 and I'm on latest patch. I do reset the phone everytime my storage is filled, last time was about 3 months ago. I don't have many apps or things that could run in the background, it just that I take photos and clips alot. Is this normal? Is there something I should do like a rollback or anything like that? I
I believe that the rest of the battery usage is probably screen
