I have found the battery life to be absolutely incredible on the ZW2 since I got it. I could go the whole day and night without an issue. Now though, for the past 2 days battery has been disgusting. I don't know what happened. I haven't installed anything for the watch since I got it, but all of a sudden I am going from 75% battery in 12 hours to 25% in 12 now. I am not using it more, in fact I think I am using it less. No additional software has been added. I don't think anything has been updated. Its as if something all of a sudden is killing the battery. Anyone else seeing this issue?
I have the same issue and had the issue with my LG G watch also. My phone normally drains faster as well when it happens. My solution is to reboot the watch. That usually solves it. Occasionally, I had to reboot my phone as well on the G watch. I'm in the habit of rebooting the watch every couple of days.
When i first got mine, 1.45in version, with always on screen, wrist gesture to wake, and screen on medium brightness enabled it wouldn't make it through 3/4 of the day.... just terrible. I tried it for two days and no luck. I then realized that i really didn't like or need the always on screen mode (especially since a touch or wrist gesture will show the time just as well). When i turned that off, it more than trippled my battery life. I use it very often now and at midnight i am at 50%.

I'll give that a shot, but I had great battery life for week then it stopped. I am not sure it will make a difference or not since I changed nothing and added nothing to the watch. It just went from awesome battery life to horrible battery life overnight....
plz can anybody tell me is Asus ZenWatch2 watch have a speaker to make call ??? thanks in advance
The watch has no speaker. In fact I don't think you will ever see a smartwatch with a speaker to make calls. Use a bluetooth head set with the watch and that would solve your issue. Also I appreciate you hi-jacking my thread though, god knows it's hard to start your own.

The Samsung Gear 2 and Gear S you can make and receive phone calls. I have the gear 2 Neo and I can answer my phone using my watch because it does have a speaker. It works rather nicely.

Let's stay on the topic here.
I noticed that the battery was draining from 50 to 0 overnight. Watch idle was the culprit.
So what I did is change watch face from Zenwatch to ustwo and noticed huge improvement.
Can someone test this out? Could it be an issue with Asus watch faces?
Thanks
OK So here is what I found. Using what @chrisb22 wrote, If I reboot the watch in the morning just after removing it from the charger battery goes into awesome mode. Meaning, past two days 7 AM to 10 PM ending the day at 68%, 70% respectively. Today at 7 AM I did not do the reboot, pulled it off the charger and started my day as usual. It is now 1:15 PM and I am at 27% Battery left. Looks to be a exponential battery drain bug in the software. @danix180 it very well could be the face. I am going to try the reboot tomorrow to confirm that I am not have the drain. If it gives me amazing battery life again I will try the Face and update.

I have found the more colorful the watch face, the battery drains quicker. Try a watchface that has a black background and see if this helps.

My watch had terrible battery life out of the box. A factory reset seemed to have fixed that. I also disabled google play services' keep awake permission on my phone (which vastly improved my phones standby time by more than 4x or more). I have always on screen on and am now at 57% after about 15 hrs (maybe a bit more). My biggest battery killer is watch idle at 8%, followed by something with no name or icon at 6%, then Android system at 3% and screen at 2%. Oled displays really dont use much battery when 90% of your display is black. I am hoping we can get root sometime so i can remove the unnecessary Asus apps such as asus weather, wellness and UP which may help a bit as well since they show up on my usage stats sometimes.
I can confirm once again that some asus watch faces are really what's causing the battery drain overnight. Last night it drained from 100 to 0 with the Gravity face.
With any other non Asus face overnight drain is 10% tops.. It could be one of those asus app like weather or wellness that's actually causing the issue
Just picked up my ZenWatch 2 over the weekend. Like others, I initially had great battery life but starting today it totally took a dive. I rebooted the watch and it seems to have slowed the burn rate dramatically. Will probably just get into the habit of rebooting it on a routine basis.

I use a WatchMaker face and my watch has been draining terribly, perhaps lasting 12 hours at most. I just started rebooting it every morning after taking it off the charger and now it lasts all day and into the next. I haven't changed to a built in watch face yet but that will be my next troubleshooting step.

Hey guys just got my zenwatch 2.. upgraded from a pebble. but so far its been a downgrade The battery I feel is defective. First day it made it about 6-7 hours. Second day it went to 6% in about 4 hours!! I have wrist gestures off and screen always on- off. its pretty much unusable I really wanted to make it work and I'm going to try a few more days . Then today I left it on the charger for like 6 hours and battery was reading at 92%??? I pull it off....boom drops 1% the other day I'd pull notification shade down and read bat. push it up and pull it down again and it would drop another point. It's crazy!!! I thiink I need to send it back to ASUS. I wish I could root it and throw another simple ROM or something. I really like the watch and was looking forward to android wear. Maybe its back to pebble. Any suggestions? and or will there be a root/rom for this watch do you guys think?. Thanks glad you guys are here to cry to lol

O.k. this sounds like a faulty device. especially the drop to 1%!
My Zenwatch2 lasts arount 24hours including sleep tracking during the night and charge every morning in the office. The charging cycle needs about an hour.
Battery drain was huge in the first 3 days because of constant fiddling with my new toy - i had to charge twice a day
Additional note: The zenwatch 2 has WiFi support built in. I had to ask google WHY this could be needed?! WiFi allows you to get notifications, even if you are out of reach of your telephone (BT-Connection broken). This also uses some battery - the zenwatch even notified me, it had disabled WiFi to use less battery. Could only be helpful in my own house, when the smartphone is out of reach. I changed the wlan timeout from the default 120 minutes to 15 minutes.

I agree with @pbaumi, this sounds like you got a bad device. Even when I had terrible battery life, my watch would still last about 8 hours with screen always on. I have screen always on and went from 86% to 48% in about 9 hours. Thats actually the worst ive seen it at for a few days as well.
Hello
I play with my stratos for 2 mins and battery loses 1%
Is this hardware issue ?
It lasted 2 days and left 16%

When I've received my watch I've charged it to 100 % and after that I've played with It half a day.
Next day I've had 40 % maybe.
Do you need more details ?
If you constantly turn on the light and full screen it of course doesn't last long.
To better measure the batery performance,
it best to recommended you to put on standy mod after fully charged.
It kinda hard to determine how the brightness you set while playing your watch, what the intensive vibration you had set, if you connected to Wi-Fi, if connected to phone bluetooth and etc.
Usually any new toys you received will prompt a problem of battery drain issues due to massive playing with it. It new, by nature human man kind would definitely to explore non stop.
Follow my advice above to let it be stanby mode and the monitor. Then after post your find out.

i woud suggest you to disconnect your watch with your phone at all. do not use it at all and not necessary on airplane mode.
Then you monitor the battery performance. if the battery life still the same.... i do suspect some form hardware failure given if your watch is stock rom and done nothing using 3rd party apps or connection at all.

I MIGHT have figured out my battery drain culprit. I went back to a vanilla factory. I then updated the latest firmware and 24 hours later was on about 86%. At work, I use the countdown timer four or five times for 25 minutes each and my charge went down to around 40% over 10 hours. Will try tomorrow and NOT use the timer and see where I end up.
Come on, the watch has that high battery live when it is mostly sleeping, which is also when it has the low screen resolution.
If you use the timer, or paceon, or constantly switch on the light, then you have no battery live at all.
The same goes for bluetooth music.
It's been almost a week I changed my Verge with a brand new 47mm Amazfit GTR.
I was so happy to have something with long lasting battery like a Bip (which I still have), but more elegant than it or a Verge.
But now comes the problems, the battery consumption is 20% per day and I can't fix the GPS.
Now someone told it's because the AGPS in the SmartWatch is stuck and I should force updating the AGPS from the phone.
Honestly I don't know, but I'm really disappointed.
Can you guys help me?
Have you tried resetting? When I set mine up it was stuck missing and update of one if the libs and the app wouldn't resume the update.
Try factory reset

Amazfit GTR 47mm battery drain
Hi, I received Amazfit GTR week ago and since then I noticed extremely short battery life. I'm not using any gps, just notifications and battery last barely 5 days losing about 20% per day. Also I tried shutting down the watch with around 70% of battery and after 24 hours I tried to switch it on and the battery was completely empty! I tried factory reset, didn't help. I really like the watch but this is not ok since manufacturer stated battery life up to 24 days. Could it be ROM or battery damage?
Same with me. Losing more than 10 percent a day (24h) without GPS, heart rate, notifications. Reset didn't help. Hopefully just a Firmware issue.
The last 24h even needed 24 percent of battery...

I'm more and more convinced that the battery is damaged or some other hardware problem related to battery.
If the battery drains fast after a couple of factory resets and full charges (let the watch charging for about 45min more after it shows 100%) using default the configuration, then probably it is damaged. I would claim warranty ASAP...
Amazfit Support told me to make a Support Ticket in the amazfit app, so they get the watch log. And Also i should claim warranty. They said if you turn off Bluetooth, use the Stock watch face and activate do not disturbe the Power consumption should He around 2 percent in 24h (starting with 100 percent).
Mine lost so far 4 percent in only 8h.
I raised ticket to gearbest for replacement or refund since battery life was horrible, 30% in 12h usage, notifications on only! Today they offered me a free exchange or full refund. I chose free exchange of watch.
I also had problems with battery drain. I tested it with a charge meter, so can tell a full charge would put about 400mah in the battery.
I did it between a couple of factory resets...
The problem is it's discharing about 15-20% per 24h with no use, just time and some notifications. In nitght it's loosing 6% resting unused, with saver mode.
I think it's not a hardware problem but a firmware problem (for global model users) because I don't think such a lot of watches could be shipped broken...
Hope Huami realease and update in a couple of days or I will also have to return mine.....

I doubt it's a firmware issue since battery draining happens even when the watch is powered off. I lost 70% battery in 24h with watch completely powered off! Returned to gearbest yesterday and waiting for free replacement.

I haven't noticed that....I will test it tonight. It could be a hardware fault then.
In the other hand, I had similar problems with a Tablet (not Xiaomi); with 2 identical tablets, with different roms, one drains battery when powered off and the other don't. So, in some devices, the "power off" function is relative, it could be a firmware failure at the end, maybe not disabling some hardware, like the GPS module.
Please told us if you get similar draining when you got new one.

Wait for few chargins, update firmware, should be fine. 6 days and 15% looks normal

It doesn't seem normal to me. Of course it depends on how many hundreds of notifications you have.
I've got GPS OFF, app notifications ON (WhatsApp, SMS, Calls), sleeptracking ON, no activities.
Charged the watch on sunday and now on thursday it's still at 100%. Maybe 10 notifications per day.
When I received my first watch, it was 0% straight out of the package. I charged it and it drained 5-6% overnight even with the watch OFF. Faulty battery. Returned the watch and got a new one. This one was 65% charged out of the package and is now holding up well.
Edit: Do you monitor heart rate? I don't.

Maybe I got it wrong. There's no such setting that I know of, but I never use activities that could use GPS on the watch. So GPS is off in that sense.
If you start an activity from the phone, it should use GPS on the phone and not the watch. Haven't tried it though.
It's dropped to 99% now. 1% sunday to thursday. Should I be worried?

I got my new GTR 42 today. Big issue: battery goes down to 20% in three hours. I charged the phone twice already today (once when I unpacked it, once one hour ago), and it's the same issue.
I don't really see what I could do to make it better. Any idea?
Thanks a lot

please see my post in another thread. Try it yourself and report if this makes any difference:
Hi, another user with GTR battery drain issues.
My newly bought GTR 42mm drained from 100 - 0 % in 4 days (no AOD, no HR, just Notifications & auto brightness). This was 1% per hour.
There, I read and tried few things, and this one seems to temporary patch the situation.
I unpaired and uninstalled all related apps (this is android user) and deleted the amazfit folder on the device. (read somewhere that there might me a corrupt settings file in there).
Then I installed some previous version of Amazfit app - current version on Play Store is version 3.4.4, and I found and installed version 3.2.0. Now my drainage fell from 25%/day to about 14%/day. I suspect that not the watch but the sh1tty app works in background doing god knows what and drains battery as hell. I did test with no connection to the phone (battery safe mode) and it was not draining single % for more than 8h.
This is not a cure, but probably will help someone until the chinese programmers do their job and release working sync software.

This guy is a long term supporter of GTS and GTS2. He praised a lot for the old GTS and its amazing battery
But in his review of GTS2, after using for 10 ten days, he said the battery is really PATHETIC, only last like 2 days.

I saw this video but this is the only one that is saying the battery life is 2 days...so I'm looking for more users that can verify this before I buy it...
Thank you anyway
I found two more review on battery test for you.
https://www.igeekphone.com/amazfit-gtr-2-in-depth-review-2/
In terms of battery life, according to the official statement, Huami Amazfit GTS 2 has a battery life of up to 7 days in daily use mode. I turned on the active heart rate detection + sleep assisted detection mode, turned on the sleep breathing quality test, and used the watch according to my own habits. The power consumption was 29% for 28 hours and 12 minutes, and the battery life was about four days. If you follow the official daily use mode instructions, the battery life will be further extended, and 7 days does not seem to be a problem.
https://www.androidcentral.com/amazfit-gts-2-and-gtr-2-review
What's honestly most impressive of all is that the developer's battery estimates for these smartwatches don't appear to be overblown, a rare thing for smartwatches or tech in general. After a week of use, including using the always-on feature sporadically, tracking my sleep cycles, and going for several workouts with GPS activated, the battery only recently dropped below 50%. Keep in mind that it would drain faster if I had continuous heart rate / SPO2 tracking enabled, but for most users, the GTR 2 could easily last you up to two weeks per charge. For comparison, the GTS 2 has a 7-day battery estimate.
Hope it helps, bro.
Personally, i'm using GTS and see no reason for the upgrade to GTS2. If you haven't bought GTS before, then maybe it's worth it.
No me llega las notificaciones del WhatsApp,

Ya ta solucionado.
I have the gts2. I've had it about a week. Battery with usual use is about 4 days. I have wrist flip detection on high and get about 3 days. Overall I really like the watch. Waiting for Alexa update to come in the future.
I have the GTS 2 since the day it launched in India. Love everything about the watch except battery life.
Battery drain is too much. Hardly getting 2 days. I find it absurd to first purchase smartwatch for its features and then keeping most of them off to get battery life.
It is possible to turn WiFi off and bluetooth on?
Hello, I have it and only two days of battery life. I have a week with him and the clock is not bad at all. Taking advantage of the thread, you know how I can activate the extra functions of the watch.
I bought a few days ago GTR 2, and all is almost perfect except for the battery... firstly from 48% to 10% within 24h, . After fully charged, 3 days and 50% has gonewith one, 1h training per day without GPS.
I like multitasking, wifi (fast watch faces synchro), but AOD drains battery a lot I decided to disable AOD, sleep tracking, switched heart rate to 10min. interval and after 24h battery decreased from 56% to 44%, while I know that people with GTR 1 have 1% per day with almost the same settings...
so I'm really disappointed with such battery life...
Do you have any advices?
@Redmundek, my girlfriend has the same problem. I bought GTS2 for her and GTR2 for me and with the same settings I get ±10 days of battery life and she gets ±3! Did you find any solution?
Have you checked the settings for detection method? Try different option and see:
- automatic heart detection - for me it is Ok
- Sleep assistant - may be the root of possible more draining
- Automatic heart detection & sleep assistant - potentialy draining battery a lot (as far as I remember)
Then other options below: activity detection, heart rate alert, all-day stress monitoring, sleep breathing quality.. I have ticked most of them after different tests. No issue with battery draining (I guess)
I'm using a GTR2 but I remember having seen a big change in the battery draining here when I tested different settings.
Good luck.
Hi, I amended sleep monitoring and stress detection and the battery is quite good, even with AOD from 7:00 till 22:00 (which I prefer) it can works c.a. 5-6 days
