Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro - Best Settings for Battery & Perfomance!

I received mine on Tuesday and the most I can get out of it is a day and a half with or without google assistant turned on and heart rate monitoring set to every 10 minutes. My ticwatch pro 3 lasts almost 3 days with assistant and health monitoring active. Honestly I was hoping for better from such an expensive watch. I also don't like having to hang the charging pad halfway off my desk so I can fit the watch band around it to charge it.

Who approves these designs at Samsung because they need to pay better attention to the competition. If I get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom obviously I'm not asleep but Samsung says I was and Ticwatch shows me as awake as it captures all the breaks in sleep. Temperature doesn't work here in the states.

What about enabling "ok Google"? That takes up battery life. It's it worth enabling?

How much better is the Galaxy 5 over the 4? - is the 4 still worth buying?

Apple Watch vs Samsung watch battery

Good points. Changing the heart rate monitor to every 10 minutes, and a few other tweaks, added an extra day between charging.

Great information Chigz
Thank you for keeping us up on this! 👍💥👍

how do you clean man?? 24H is a long time :P

Mine seems to drain quick I turn off all the stuff that needed to be off to save battery life is there something I'm doing wrong or mine is defect? I even reset the whole watch n reboot it

Thanks for making the video.
So far my experience is that I'd get roughly the same life as my Galaxy Watch 4 Classic in terms of battery. I have now turned off WiFi (which I left on on the 4 Classic), but have made no other changes. I'll see what difference it makes.
The biggest let down so far is Google Wallet not working at all in Ireland on the 5 Pro, but it did on the 4 Classic.

Mine says 19 hrs with everything turned off at 95% . What the f*** man

You can leave GPS off, the watch will automatically use use it anyway during workout.

so bad it doesn't support what's up call. I don't like it

TY for this. I just got my watch 5pro and was wondering why it was just barely lasting over a day. Going to try your methods to see what kind of improvements I get.

Thank you do much useful and valuable information. I was so confused as to why my battery was draining do fast. Problem solved!

Thank you for your vids. Specially on the smart watches. I need a pro review on the charger, so I got the fast wireless charger duo (which I really like) and it can charge my phone and buds/watch at the same time wirelessly but I think the charger comes with the watch is faster. Would please give a review on that as well!? Comparing samsung fast wireless charger duo with the charger comes with the watch's box! Thank you.

I have the the Galaxy 5, and I get email notification but I can t read them on the phone. It sends me a notification, but it makes me read the email on the phone. I can't read the emails on my phone. Does anyone have the 5 and are you having the same issues?

Hey can you help me please so on my galaxy watch 5 pro I was just looking at something and when I went to settings like your turn on and off buttons are on the left right well mines on the right can you please help me

Just ask the question …？galaxy 5 battery type can replace in Galaxy 4 watch for Galaxy 5 battery590 mah ？

Lol if you don’t use it at all you might get 2 days, but if you do a workout and have music streaming from it it ain’t even gonna last a day and I had all the settings set the way you described

Mine uses 10 percent while I’m sleeping with bedtime mode on

My heart rate is constantly going all day and use it for calls and maps at work and still come home with 85% wayyyyy better then the 4 which wouldn't last half a day. And this watch is beautiful

Does pressing back button instead of using screen save battery ?

Great video, thanks for the tips!

What a discouraging video for me..I cannot even get 2 days with most all settings off.

Could you please do a test to prove that step counting is completely broken - counts steps when driving, riding motorcycle, etc. ?

How to charge it fast.
For 100% charge it is taking 1.5 hrs which is too much

Impossible.. I'm a watch 5 user. the battery dies very quickly even if it is not attached to my wrist without using it. For example, when I took it out of my arm at 10 o'clock last night, the battery was 44%, at 08 in the morning it was 18% + NFC off, WIFI off, location off, BLE off for battery test). I'm very regretful. I bought the watch 3 days ago. I am waiting for the art to be sold at a reduced price. Stay away from Samsung brand watches. Also, when I was buying the art, I said that I am a Xiaomi phone user and it was said that all its features are working, but if your phone is not Samsung, blood pressure and ECG will not work because of the restriction, you cannot download the relevant application from the Samsung store. The decision is yours.
To use the Samsung Galaxy watch, you need a power bank with wireless charging. DEFINITELY...😂

You have given one of most indepth reviews. l Thanks

I love this watch <3 no regrets buying it

Overheating issues on lte calling while on call less than 5 minutes overheat and turns on airplane mode.

With the "hey Google" feature enabled, the battery consumption of Google assistant was a staggering 54% !! Nuts. Without it and with every feature enabled like auto brightness, continuous monitoring of everything, WiFi, GPS, workout detection, full sleep monitoring including O² monitoring and snore detection, the battery life is between 26h - 30h for me. I also try to go on walks and workout everyday, so I'm confident I use almost all features daily.

I love mine.

Thank you for the tips

I get 5 to 7 Days of battery life as I turned off all the gimmicky health monitoring options and keep it in battery saving mode. You also don't need Wi-Fi and GPS when it gets that information from your smartphone.

I learned the hard way, I think. lol
I bought the Gear S3 Frontier Amazon Refurbished for $120 2yrs ago & it still gets 2 days easily with everything on.
I decided to get a Samsung Refurbished Watch 4 Classic.
It wouldn't last a single day!
I immediately put it back in the box & seen Samsung had a trade in Holiday Sale for the 5 Pro.
So I traded the 4 Classic for the 5 Pro Grey Titanium. A good Smartwatch should last 2 days minimum, imo.
I paid only $140 for the 5 Pro because Samsung gave me over a $100 more than what I paid for my 4 Classic just a few days earlier. lol - That's almost a hack, I have a bit over $230 total in everything

I have the Galaxy 5 watch and it dies halfway through the day and it's brand new

My batterij save tip.
Configurer sleep function on your Phone (samsung).
It wil also apply to your watch.

Fairly disappointed in the fact that with always on display battery life sucks. A regular watch has battery life for every day until you have to change your battery. In my case I have the citizen watch where it's solar power so yeah battery life is fantastic. Wish smart watch had longer battery

Quality content mate, I just got the 5 pro, an upgrade from the original galaxy watch. You've confirmed a lot of the config I need to run this watch up to 4 days. Pretty powerful watch though, the snore recording, blood-oxy, emergency routines are pretty good things to have. I'm stoked.

What is the back of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro made of? I heard from some reviews that is plastic but Titanium Sapphire and plastic doesn't go together or? 😁

even after turning all the things off i still get only 3d12h battery life
is this a problem?

Fabulous review, thanks 👍

I started with the Galaxy Live smartwatch, the one that had a camera in the band. I mostly use Sammy watches but have a bunch of other ones just for some change. Just ordered the Watch 5pro and it'll be my first brand new watch from Samsung

With almost everything Turned off i can't even get 1 Day Of Battery Life.

Thanks for your suggestion. Really helpful without sacrificing a lot.

Why didnt you show us a battery info? This settings does not work for me, no 4 days here.

My watch hardly makes it through ONE day it's terrible

I'm lucky if I get 2 days

Excellent video. I do the same thing before I shower. I remove my watch and charge it. Thanks for all the great tips

Do u use this watch with a samsung phone or non samsung android phone? Some people are saying connection with phone drops on every other day
