Battery life as just a fitness tracker

[Prasad1337]

I'm planning to step up from the Charge 2 to the Versa, but battery life is my primary concern. If I disable notifications and all the smart watch features that I can, and using it purely as a fitness tracker.. what kinda battery life should I expect?

Right.. that's what I'm assuming is the case with holistic use as a smart watch, but I'm wondering how much of the battery drain is attributed to the smart watch features vs just the fitness tracking and HR monitoring. Basically, I'd like to know how much additional battery life I could gain over the 4 day estimate by using it for the fitness tracking features and nothing more.. I saw MrMobile's review on Youtube and heard that it may exceed 6 days in this case.. I just wanted to know if the community reflects the same experience

My experience is 48 hours max.

I have turn off sync all day and track only steps + sleep.

From 8 am to next day 8 am i got 66% from 100%.

at 1.30 pm now I am left with 57%.

So tomorrow is 48 hours so i think it will be totally drain.

Either way I am still ok. Just have to keep the charger with you everywhere just to case.

I improved battery life significantly by changing the following settings:

1. Set Screen Wake to Manual

2. Set All-Day Sync to Off

I have just passed 6 days since my last charge and will probably need to recharge later today.
