New Samsung Gear S2 update is aimed at improving battery life Comments

I have not had any issues with battery life. It lasts about two and half days without running any extra applications (normal use). Under heavy use, it lasts usually a day and half before needing a charge. Needless to say, I charge it every night anyway. The only feature I miss is using it as a sleep tracking device. Now, I use my phone for that.

My S2 battery lasts less than a day; it needs to be on the charger by 8pm at night. I put it on in the morning before my workout but it just drains down. I don't have any other applications installed. It makes a real pain in the rear to use it for fitness (and tracking sleep which I don't do now). I'm regretting not getting a fit.

When I mess around with all of the features a lot it still lasts all day without issue. I have not had any overheating issues.

Why are they so bad about updates in the US? Don't they care about this market?

Just received the s2 yesterday. Battery only lasted 7 hours today...ouch. It warned me a couple times today that it needs to cool down. Is this common with the gear? Can anyone comment? Thanks

Samsung need to start adding some decent apps to tizen,the current bunch are lousy and a decent browser, youtube,Facebook and spotify are a must.

My Gear S2 is draining about 1-1.5% per hour at "normal" daytime use. Taking it off (leaving it powered on) at night I'm reaching 4 days pretty comfortable. Happy with my purchase.

JD, 30 Dec 2015Not many people wants this geeky looking garbageIt does look geeky; but way better than any other Smartwatch.
I'm puzzled as to why they had to send an OTA update for battery life; when the battery life should have been optimized since day one.
Will it last 2 days now, with this update?
