r/GalaxyWatch on Reddit: Samsung Active 2 Battery Life
September 5, 2020 -
Hey all,
My other half has a Samsung Active 2 that I purchased April 30th of 2020 so still under warranty. The battery life seems to deplete faster then it should. She gets about 1 day while others report getting 2 days of battery life. She has wifi off,AOD off, deleted Spotify, and really isn't app heavy. Any other suggestions? Would a factory reset help?
I'll add in that there was a period of time where it wasn't used cause we misplaced the charger but did purchase a new one and it charges just fine.

I find the thing that affects battery life the most is the watch face. I get 1.5 days on my GWA2 with heart rate set to continuous and about 30 min of exercise tracking per day. AOD is on also.

I know the post is 10m old now, but I am having the same issue with it. The watch is not even a year old, the phone model and the watch usage did not change throughout the year. However, the battery life dropped from 2 days to 1 day in the course of a month or so.

That battery life diminishes with lots of activity: playing music or running the GPS (through those workouts, say) can drain capacity at a more rapid pace. Dial 'P' for pricier
