Hello guys i bought the fossil sport 41mm just a day ago. I want to know is there any way to uninstall bloatware which is causing high battery consumption & low performence.
Thank You any help would be appreciated.
If it's the same as the gen 5 try the following to solve some battery issues. My gen 5 went from less than a day to 2 full days.
- Remove the fossil HR complication from your watchface.
- Turn OFF tilt to wake.
- Turn on Always On Display
- Uninstall Cardiogram App
I think there was a bug in the fossil HR complication as it would trigger the sensor a lot on mine!
A couple of friends have done this also and it's made a huge difference on their gen 4/5 so I would be keen to know how you get on too.

Wouldn't call HR sensor triggering a bug when you have it set on your watch face. That's what it's supposed to do - track your heart rate

You misunderstood me. Its meant to only trigger every 20 minutes and display the last HR reading till it next triggers, just like Google fit does it. On my watch it's triggering every time I wake the screen. Combine that with tilt to wake and you get the jist.
Just the removal of the fossil HR complication from watchface improved my battery life by at least double.

HR Complication
I have Fossil 5th Gen.
I was able to complete all these functions.
- Turn OFF tilt to wake.
- Turn on Always On Display
- Uninstall Cardiogram App
But I cannot find where to remove the "HR Complication". Can you provide steps please
Thank you
Chris
The complications are the little information discs on the watch face. Long press the watch face and it will shrink and show a configure icon below it. Press this. Then click on the one for HR and change it to anything other than the HR.
I have attached a screenshot from my watch with the ones I have (Watch battery, Weather and Fit (steps)). View attachment 5054955

I have had the watch off of the charger since 9:00 AM PST it is now 2:30 PM PST and I have only use 10%
I am at 90% right now. I am getting much improved life on the battery.
Thank you for your suggestions.
UPDATE:
It is now 10:42 PM PST and my watch is at 70%...
That is 30 percent over a 14 hour period...
I am using a watch face called Cronosurf Pro.
No, you can not run Android apps on a non-Android tool, there are 0 alternatives alas. But if you obtain Android on it, you'll be lacking out on the watch spinning dial, and with this kind of small display on the sport like shoes, I couldn't consider going touchscreen-best.

Tomorrow I'm getting my hands on the new SWR12 aka SmartBand 2. If you're preparing to buy one too, ask me anything regarding compatibility with the Z2.
After I had some time with it I'll try to write a review and compare the second generation with SWR10 aka SmartBand.
I'm quite curious about battery life. Wondering, if the new generation will last longer on battery without pulse monitoring.
First impressions:
Both the SWR12 core and band are made of different materials than SWR10. It feels more slippy.
Good news is that the SWR10 bands perfectly fit the new core. So you can use your old leather band with the new core.
The new band feels comfortable and the new lock is much better - no way this is going to fell of occasionally.
Great news is that the new SWR12 is compatible with SmartLock (Lollipop). So you can use it as a unlock device even though this is a BLE device. Yup, also works after a restart etc. I tested it very carefully, because I couldn't believe it Wondering if Sony is going to fix this for the first gen SmartBand....
The Heart Rate monitor is working better than expected, but I need to test this more to give a more reliable conclusion.
is it possbile to use heart rate measurements in 3rd party apps (Sports tracker in particular)? which new fuctions other than HR present in swr12 vs swr10?

The SmartBand 2 host app only mentions Google Fit (there is a switch to enable synchronizing pulse rate with it). However there is a note that the pulse data is synchronized only if you measure your pulse using manual control. So for example if you want to measure your pulse every 10 minutes (like the Livelog does), that's not possible. So basically there are two options avaliable: Realtime pulse tracking or No pulse tracking at all.

New strap
Colored notification LEDs
Smart Lock support for Lollipop
Standalone app (no need to use lifelog to measure steps etc.)
Google fit support
Quiet mode (Night mode replacement, probably you won't need to set when you sleep - it should track this without any interaction - for example during after-dinner sleep - still needs testing)

I actually made this thread, because I guess I'm one of the first to get this device. I had huge trouble finding it - even ebay doesn't sell it.
When suddenly I looked at the local auction website "Allegro" in Poland and noticed that the official Sony re-seller called "M-point" has them in stock.
Link to the auction: http://allegro.pl/sony-swr12-smartband-2-czarny-i5653196214.html
Link to the reseller website: http://www.sklep.m-point.pl/4650-Sony-SWR12-SmartBand-2-czarny.html
No idea, if the shop ships internationally.

Just tested and indeed you don't need to use night mode to track your sleep - all is done automatically. That's superb!
It takes about 25 seconds to measure the pulse rate - lets call this a "cold start". After this period it measures in real time.
So take this into account, if you want just to check manually for your PR from time to time you'll need to wait a few seconds for the test to complete. This also applies to SWR12 STAMINA-mode.
Battery
Could you make a test of how long the battery lasts when you permanently measure your heart rate. This would be interesting for me, because the main point I'm interested in is to have a 24h measurement of my heart rate - awake and asleep.
Thx

The heart rate is measured every 10 minutes by default. That way it should last for 2 days.
With Heart activity mode enabled (measures the heart rate more often than 10 minutes (every 5 minutes?) it should last for 10 hours.
Which mode would you like me to test? Also, I'm getting quite much notifications during the day, this could lessen the battery life.
EDIT: I was heavy testing the device yesterday, updating it's firmware, pairing with different devices, measuring heart rate in activity mode for some time etc and the battery lasted for about 28h. I did not use the STAMINA mode at all.

I would be interested in "heart rate in activity mode always on". I understand that in this mode the heart rate is measured permanently and not "only" every 10 minutes (which actually should be sufficent for most use cases).

It's definitely not a constant measure in "heart rate in activity mode always on", because if I peek under the smartband 2 during this mode - it's not always emitting the green light (required to measure the pulse). So it's more often, but still not always on. The heart rate monitoring is only always on (permanent), if you keep the SWR12 app open (and keep the smartphone screen on). That's from my observation.
Difference between normal mode (2 days battery life) and activity mode (10 h battery life)
This diagram was recorded during 16h of usage (14h normal mode - 2h activity mode).

I just fully charged my SWR12. You're right after all. I'm now peeking under the core every few minutes and the green light is always flashing. So yes, in activity mode the pulse is measured in real time. Sorry for my last reply, I made a mistake

Thx for your investigation. So with "always on" the smartband will not last for a whole day. But with "nomal mode" you are able to cover a whole day and maybe a second day.
So using "normal mode" and "always on" for sports and charging the smartband every day in the evening would be a way to go if you are really interested in your heart rate.

I just finished testing the always on mode and I got exactly 12 h and 35 minutes of battery life. It might get even better after a few charge/discharge cycles.
So if I would plan to do an Iron Man challenge, I would need to hurry up
Just kidding.
Thank you very much for your test and your answers. I just saw that the Smartband is now available on amazon.de and I'm going to buy one now :good:

I found something interesting: actually I didn't fully charge my band... Because the green LED indicates that the SWR12 is charged over 90%, so to fully charge I had to charge it for a qouple minutes longer... :sly:
Hi there. When you are using the continuous hr (always on), the only way to check your hr is checking the phone? I would like to use the band to practice sports but I would not be able to check the phone screen.
I know the band doesn't have a display (like fitbit charge hr). But if it was possible to check at least the zone you are (by the color of the led blinking for example) it would be OK to me.
Can tou test if it's possible to check your zone just looking to the band please?
Thanks very much!
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.
hi all i created this thread bec i saw many videos how to monitor heart rate on WI502Q. but no success i dont understand why WI500Q supports the same as we have the latest watch.
This i found on play store
if anyone knw anything abt the issue
ZenWatch 1 (WI500Q) users can enjoy following functions:
- Record your exercise intensity and heart rate
- Examine your relaxation index and provide useful short tips to reduce stress
* ZenWatch 2 (WI501Q, WI502Q) users can enjoy following functions:
- Track your sleep at night to know how well you slept and provide sleep tips
- Start a workout as Running, Push-up, or Sit-up with goals
The key is we don't have a heartrate moniter build in. Thats why our watches are so cheap.
Thn why does zenwatch 1 supports
Because the first Zenwatch has build in.

Is there a way to have the HR display stay on the face during a run or bike? If I'm on a hill I can't be messing with swiping so I just want to tap to turn it on then tap again for HR.
Some watch faces have the HR displayed all the time. Dont ask for the name of them because i cant remember but there are a few and maybe you should download the wear store app as it lists the watches insted of being unorganised like the play store

Thanks, I might give that a try. I went for a run yesterday and the HR was not very accurate when I was pounding on the road. On cool down it was fine. I'm assuming the jarring and arm movements were throwing it off. I really want it for biking and I'll try that later in the week. Once you start an activity it seems the HR will stay on along with your exercise stats but I'll find out more as the week progresses. One problem I see is it drained the watch battery from about 90% to 64% in an hour. If that's the case then I'll have to abandon the HR function on continuous basis, since a 4 hour ride would make the watch unusable, and simply track my activities with Strava. I'll play with it but it seems that this is more of a smart watch than fitness tracker. I actually bought it for fitness tracking and planned to return it if it didn't work as well as the about to be released Garmin Vivoactive HR band, but I since have fallen in love with the smart watch look and notifications features and will keep it no matter. Probably gonna cost me another $249 once the Garmin comes out but what the heck.
edit: I connected the Google Fit app and it's much better than the Moto Body. Battery drain not horrible during my gym workout today. Gave me HR readings every 5 while jumping rope and throughout the workout. I have to figure out how to stop the constant notifications once I reach my goal though. Still at 67% too after about 10 hours off charger.
My battery life after the AW 2.0 update has not been the best. I've been wondering if anyone else has had this issue and figured out how to solve it.

Haven't had a lot of time to test battery life but my issue now is that my watch doesn't charge above 75%, anyone else experiencing this?
Give it some time, the first day or two after the update my battery was terrible, but it leveled out after. I've lost 9 percent in the last 6 hours
It's still horrible here after over a week. Did it improve with anyone's watch? I'm seriously considering downgrading back to AW 1.0
Have you done a factory reset since the update? If not do one.
Then run the battery down till it shuts off and then charge it back up full this will reset the battery stats.
My battery lasted only for ~12h after AW2. Only solution now for me is to turn off ambient display ("always on" option), now I need to charge only every other day with consumption ~40% in 24h.
Battery life is still not happening. Any new updates?
Hi.
My battery life, for about a week after the aw2 update, is still not happening. I'm only getting about 12 to 14 hours where before I was almost getting 2 days. That's with ambient and tilt settings on. Never had a problem before the update. And I'd hate to start turning things off just to get better battery life.
Does anyone have an update on how to fix this and what's going on?
Thanks.
Disable tilt setting very better but still not amazing....
or disable ambiant.

I did disable both of them. The battery is a little better, but nothing like before the update.
I use with ambiant and Asus face, not impressive but about 4% at 4.5% by hour for my usage. So can be used for a long day with 16-20H. Before I can have 3.5% or little better (but not always) so not huge difference.

Ok. With Always On turned off and Tilt left on and using Facer for a watch face ive gotten 31 hours with 20 percent left.
Now, I'm starting to feel happy again! I'm gonna try the same settings but switch watch face to a zw2 face and see what happens.

Now, I'm starting to feel happy again! I'm gonna try the same settings but switch watch face to a zw2 face and see what happens.

My second attempt with my zw2 and the same setting was about 27 hours with 10 percent left.
?????
Okay. Same setting but with a zw2 face instead of Facer, I've gone a day and a half.
Not bad.
Battery life on mine has been crap since 2.0. ambient screen is off, WiFi off and I'm lucky if it last 2 days. But the charger connection has become complete crap too. Had to order another charging cable... Which is made in China since I can't find actual Asus brand ones for sell anywhere. Takes 10 minutes and lots of attempts to get it to register the charger is connected. Even clean all the prongs to

It's still horrible here after over a week. Did it improve with anyone's watch? I'm seriously considering downgrading back to AW 1.0

Hy,
Mine was also very bad battery life after updating to androidwear2,0.
I downgraded back to AW1.5, and then after this, i did my update to 2,0.
Now my battery is even better then on 1.5.
I don't know why, but this method work for me.
Greetings

If battery is your only problem... root your AW2 with TWRP flashed as recovery and just flash Magisk v14.0. Then load https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sssemil.advancedsettings and check your Performance settings. Set "Governor" to Ondemand and "Min Frequency" to 600000. Quite a difference that way.
EDIT: Btw, you have to start the app once then the root permission thing shows up sooner or later, but no way to allow it that way (AW is no full Android and you can see it there for example...) then hop over to Magisk app and under Superuser allow root forever. Then the app works.
