I was at best buy yesterday and the Apple Watch stated life is 18 hours or so, but all Samsung watches I saw usually state time in days like 8 days or so. One of my friends has a Samsung Watch and gets about 5 days battery life between charges, while his wife’s Apple Watch has to be charged every night before bed.
I’m just curious, what’s the difference that the battery life is so drastically different? Is it the screen, the features, or battery size? They both seem to do roughly the same thing from what I can tell.
Thanks!

Cause Samsung makes a better watch. ⌚️✨
At most I get two days with my Galaxy Watch 5Pro. Only way to get more is essentially disable all the functions lol.
My galaxy watch 4 still has a two day battery life. Got it the first week they were available.
I’ve had numerous Samsung watches over the past 10 years, none last longer than 2ish days nor do I expect them to. Usually charge daily while showering and getting ready and it’s not an issue. I’m sure I could get a week if I disable all the smart features, but that kind of defeats the point.
My watch 1 bluethooth was lasting about 5/6 days. My LTE watch 5 lasts 3 days max.
yeah watch 1 bluetooth was a beast
My Apple Watch 3 lasted 2,5 days. And after 2 years had a stated battery capacity of 100%.
My current GW4 doesn’t last that long, or maybe it does now that Samsung has broken raise-to-wake 😅
Products like that are hard to compare to each other.
My watch 6 lasts 3 days
Hell, mine barely gets me through an 9 hour work day. I guess I haven’t broken the code like the rest of y’all.
depends on the watch.
My watch 5 pro, I swear will last DAYS without even needing a charge. My GF’s watch 4 barely makes the day. shrug.This is has to be a trolling post or something…
Yeah. Like yours in r/cuba.
What Samsung watches are you guys buying? I never got more than a day out of mine.
No samsung watch lasts for 8 days. Mine hardly lasts for 2 days and just 1.5 days after latest update.
I’ve got Watch 4 Classic - battery only lasts 2 days if I turn on power saving and pretty much just look at the time occasionally and notifications as they pop up. Average use is about a day.
I charge it when I get home from work, and then wear it at night, then throw it back on the charger for a couple hours in the AM before I head out the door.
Probably the same reason Garmin can outlast both. Difference in manufacturing? 🤷🏽♂️ or voodoo
Garmin isn’t likely sending back half a gigabyte of telemetry back to the CI- I mean google servers.
I don’t care about either. I just want a watch with a decent speakerphone ability.
It is still a shitty battery. My garmin watch lasts 30 days. Maybe after few years the galaxy watches have improved enough.
Similar experience, my Garmin battery gives about 4 weeks. Not sure what these Samsung/Apple watches are doing but they need to do better 😅
