so you've just bought your brand new galaxy watch and you're realizing it's
great but you have to keep putting it back on
its charger at the end of the day well in this video i'm going to show you how
to make the battery in your galaxy watch last
longer between charges so you can get the most out of it
hello guys welcome back to tech it easy first and foremost thank you so much for
helping me reach 1 000 subscribers naming for a million
next week no but in all seriousness thank you so
so much okay so enough youtubery stuff how do we
make the battery on the galaxy watch last longer let's find out so there's a
few things you can do and the first one i would like to cover
is your choice of watch face yep that can actually affect how fast your
battery has drained throughout the day i noticed the biggest change in battery
life when i picked a simpler watch face uh such as the simply silver watch face
now i'd really recommend this watch face purely because it looks
really really smart and it's really simple and it gives you all the info you
need including your steps date time and
battery life if you want a few more ideas for battery saving watch faces
there are a couple that will have the same effect featured in my top 10
minimal galaxy watch faces video you can click the pop-up on screen now
to cue the video after this one so to go along with this watch face there are a
few other things that you can do because the wider the dials and the
numbers are easier to read this means you can now go ahead and bring the
brightness down you should be able to make do with about
three to four brightness now let's talk about apps leaving apps
running will drain your battery just like it would on your smartphone
so make it a routine to navigate to your app straw you can do this by pressing
the bottom button then heading to recent apps then simply
select close all this will close all unneeded
apps and stop them from draining your battery
next up for some adjusting is your fitness tracking settings
i would recommend changing the frequency of which your watch measures your heart
rate and stress levels to manual measurement only if you really
want to do it automatically you can change it to do it every 10 minutes
but if possible i would avoid the measure continuously option
you can change these settings by going to your fitness tracking widget
tapping the heart rate icon scrolling down to heart rate and stress management
settings and then choosing the settings that you
want this will actually save you a lot of
battery life so i definitely recommend keeping it to manual if you can before
we jump into our next galaxy watch tip please do leave a like and subscribe to
the channel if you're enjoying the video i've got plenty
of tech tips tricks and reviews coming up so do stay tuned for that
next tip is a more obvious one and that is to turn the always on display off
you can do this by pulling down from the top of the screen to bring up the
settings panel and tapping the little clock face icon
when it's blue this means always display is on
what this does is effectively puts your watch into a screen saving mode
when you're not using it however if you did follow the first step in changing
your watch face you should be able to get away with still having the always on
display activated as a watch face itself will use very
little battery also in the settings panel is a power
saving mode but that's a little bit extreme
i want you to be able to save battery but still get the most out of your watch
if for whatever reason though you do need this function
it will essentially turn off a load of all the features including
wi-fi change the watch face interface to a grayscale mode
and just basically strip everything back to its basics
next little tip is that you can actually get your watch to suggest which settings
to turn on and off for you so go to settings again by pulling down
from the top of the screen scroll down until you get to battery
and once you click that scroll down again to optimize battery
click that and then after a few seconds you'll get a list of recommendations
such as turning off the wi-fi and nfc would be a really good one to
turn off as you don't really need it on all the
time you'll only really need it when you get to a checkout of when you need to
pay for something if you do use the samsung pay
next thing to check on is bixby now i personally never use bixby
it's never really appealed to me but feel free to leave it on if it's
something you use regularly otherwise navigate to the
bixby icon or double tap the bottom button on your
smartwatch to bring bixby up then head over to the options and turn
off voice wake up this essentially means that
bixby is always listening out for you which in turn means it's always using
your battery now this one's for those of you who have
the lte version of the watch i don't have this version so i can't
give you an example but i do know that using the lte functions
actually drains you a lot of battery life
so if you don't need the lte functions try and keep your phone connected just
via the bluetooth option last but not least we have the gesture
controls now this again can drain a lot of battery life
especially if you're exercising yes it is convenient
but it's not too much trouble to just raise your wrist and tap the button or
the screen when you're exercising you can
accidentally activate the gesture control or even just when you're walking
around town this in turn will drain a lot of battery
life to turn this off just go down to your
settings again and then scroll down to where it says advanced settings
then you'll see an option saying wake up gesture
just turn that off if you want to turn some of the others off you can
but the other two should be fine as they'll only respond to
touch so that just about wraps it up for this video
please do let me know in the comments section what sort of videos you want to
see in the future and if you have any questions on the galaxy watch
then maybe i might be able to answer them for you
but for now thanks so much for watching please do leave a like and subscribe to
