46MM Galaxy Watch here and I can get 24H or sometimes a bit more provided I switch it to night mode when I'm sleeping. Still using AOD, cont HR monitor etc. Yeah, this old thing is getting long in the tooth, but I came to it from WearOS, really don't want to go back.
Not a lot is appealing to me in the smartwatch market currently. Good for my wallet, I suppose.
Is this the norm for smart watches? I just bought my first one, a Redmi watch 3 active, 6 days ago and still haven't charged it yet (just got to 18%.)
There's no way I'd put up with another device that I have to charge every day.
Depends. My Garmin goes for close to a week but my galaxy 6 barely makes 20h. I don't run anything fancy on it other than enabling always on screen. I won't compromise on that as I think it's ridiculous to have to shake your arm to see what time it is.
Yeah, Garmin has been by far the best for me for battery life.
