what is the battery life on the watch?

the battery is good for one day if you are an active user of the apps. I use the gear 2 cam app, and I make calls on the wrist watch, and these activities drain my battery so that it needs to be charged by the end of the day.

I am sure battery life will depend greatly on use, my current Galaxy Gear runs for 3 or 4 days on a battery charge, and only takes 15 minutes or so to top off a days worth of use, putting it on the cradle for 20 minutes in the morning while I am getting ready is more than enough to keep it going. This new Gear 2 is supposedly much better battery life.

Are you experiencing that with your watch? If yes you should send it back to be replaced. The battery will last several days on one charge. Mine typically lasts 5 days.

I ran the battery check with my old watch, and I think it lasted for around 7~8 hours.

Can't tell you in hours or days, but battery life is really good. We have multiple users so hard to judge.

I never tried. Sorry but this watch is terrible. It fogs up when I run. Water gets in in shower. Battery average life is 5 days. I buy batteries on amazon every month for three months. I don't know why I keep watch but it does sync with phone well. Tried to return and amazon rejected request based on battery life not a good enough excuse. Echo website says 6month heavy battery usage but my average id 5 days. Easy to change battery without tools but getting tired. Thanks. Wait for another option. Good day. Mc

It takes a CR2032 watch type battery. Can't tell you how long it lasts as I've not had to replace yet.

I do apologise. I have no idea what battery the watch takes. It was bought for a gift. Sorry.

Battery life is great on this device. I am not an avid distance runner (maybe 10-15 miles a week) but can easily go a few weeks without charging. The watch also charges quickly which is nice. In my opinion you'd be hard pressed to find a better GPS runner in this price range.

It takes a standard CR 2032 watch battery. You should be able to pick some up at any drugstore or big box retailer (or Amazon).

Battery life is the amount of "charge - time" your watch will give you in performing the various tasks the watch can do. Playing a round of golf uses a considerable amount more "charge" and thus takes away from battery life than does using the watch as an everyday watch. I seem to use about 30% charge for 9 holes. It does not bother me as I charge my watch after each use!

About 2 hours with activity, stand by is several hours. But after a few weeks of use, battery life goes under 1 hour. I plugged it in for 3 hours, and only 1/3 of it was charged. Really awful battery life.

I do not have to charge it; so it must have a battery. I LOVE this watch. I have one and so do 3 of my friends; and they also LOVE it!! A great buy!!

Mine holds for about 2 days. I generally charge it in the evening before I'm to play, and I play 3 times a week.I love this watch.

It's no doubt one of those flat watch batteries. Under normal conditions though, the battery that comes with it will last more than 5-8 years, so...

This is obviously dependent on location and how hard the watch has to try to capture the GPS signal (are you concealed from skyview at any point, etc.). You can expect anywhere from 4-5 hrs of continuous use. My last run was greater than 4 hrs and I took it off the charger and went running, it lasted roughly 4 hrs that day. And that seems to be the norm for where I am. Hope that helps.

It depends on how much you use it each day. I'd guess you get 12 to 14 hours on the high setting. Over time it will begin to dim. Since it takes AAA batteries it's easy to find replacements as you don't have to try to find some weird, obscure watch batteries.

Same problem with me as well. Fully charged the night before long trail runs, the 1st time it stopped at 6:10, the 2nd time 5:52, much shorter than the 8:00 advertised! The battery life was one of the main reason I bought this watch...
