I've wanted a smartwatch for a long time, but I was discouraged by the endurance. I got a Samsung watch 6 classic for Christmas this year. I returned them after two days. They didn't even last me 6-7 hours. Disaster. And I had almost everything turned off. Always off display, bluetooth only when I wanted to look at my phone. I recharged in the evening and they died overnight. So I returned them and got these, hoping they would last at least two days. The watch is great. So it doesn't last me 80 hours, but for example last night 27.12.2023 at 10:00 pm I was charging. From 0-7 I have sleep mode set so they snore but detect sleep: ). It is now 12/28/2023 11:21 AM and I am currently at 82%. My watch has sleep tracking on at night. And I've been recorded falling asleep in front of the TV for 30 minutes: ) I still want to try snore detection, because I'm supposedly snoring a lot, so I'm curious: ))) During the day I have Always by display turned off. Wifi on all day, data even when I turn off wifi I have unlimited data. I have the esimka there, so I can receive calls and texts even outside without my phone, notifications too. It doesn't have to be paired and connected via bluetooth all the time to work and that's fine with me. I wanted an extra sim and not to be connected to the phone all the time and it was stealing battery on both sides. It's better this way. So far I got the OneNumber number from Vodafone for 3 months free and then they want 99/month for it. so I'll see if I'll pay extra, but I guess I will. Maybe eventually they'll add it to the plan for free. It's still new, but it works perfectly. I had the problem of running around the house all the time, leaving my phone in the study and not being able to hear it in the kitchen, this way I don't have to be that I run out to the gate, for example, or into the garden in the summer to see someone "important": -) will not be reached. I have battery saving switched off
NFC also off when I'm at home
Location tracking also off when I'm at home
Data on I'd say it will last until tomorrow max. it's showing 32 hours, but we'll see, I'll edit the review. However, I don't regret buying the watch and I am thrilled with it. If it lasts me at least 2 days, great. Charging is quick, so during bathing and evening hygiene I put them on the charger and they are charged before I get into bed. I have a nickel allergy - so far so good I guess - but I have the new white one hybrid strap. and I think the buckle's gonna be a problem, so I'm gonna replace it with a titanium buckle. I saw they were selling them. When it gets hot and my hand sweats more, I think allergy sufferers will have a problem. And my other info about the watch. I was able to set up a custom ringtone that worked on other samsung watches, supposedly it stopped after the update. and in those samsung watch 6 it really didn't ring. Although I set it up correctly, it rang the classic version of the watch. And the sleep mode is great. but watch out, if you put sleep mode on just by turning it on and you have it set to sync with your phone, it will set your phone that way too and no one will call or text you anything: ) My ppl, husband 3 times and mom rang the bell and nothing until she ran to see if I was okay: ) So watch out for that, set your sleep mode for a certain time only. I have it set to 0-7 and this is set on the phone. I have a samsung so it's in modes and routines. And I have an exception for the 7 contactees that always call in. And making phone calls is great. The sound goes super nice too, you can be understood without even having to have a watch near your mouth. you can have it along your body or on your desk. And you can hear the people on the phone perfectly well, too. I think they'll be great for people who run too, If you record music and connect with wireless headphones, they'll definitely be great. I haven't tried it in the field yet, when it gets warmer: ) I've tried paying with them before, but I had to manually open my wallet on my phone to see the card and then it worked. Otherwise I couldn't do it, I don't know why. If I'm doing something wrong. if anyone knows, please feel free to write in the review how to set it up so I just attach it as a phone and it beeps. I'm satisfied: ) So I hope I've written everything: )
