Key Takeaways
Dark Watch Faces Save Power: Using dark watch faces instead of light ones conserves battery life because OLED displays turn off black pixels completely.
Disable Touch Sensitivity When Not Needed: Disabling touch sensitivity when not wearing gloves saves power.
Manage GPS Usage: Turn off location tracking when not actively using GPS features like workout tracking or navigation (the watch will prompt you to re-enable it before starting a workout).
Optimize Gestures: Disable unused gestures to conserve battery.
Control Universal Gestures: Disable auto-activation and manually turn off universal gestures when not in use by placing your palm on the screen.
Manage Voice Assistants: Turn off voice wake-up features for Bixby and Google Assistant to save battery; access them manually instead.
Adjust Brightness: Lower screen brightness and disable adaptive brightness. Add the brightness toggle to your quick panel for easy adjustment.
Optimize Sleep Tracking: Enable sleep mode to disable gesture and touch wake-up; disable unused sleep tracking features (blood oxygen, snore detection, skin temperature) in the Samsung Health app.
Reduce Heart Rate Monitoring: Change heart rate monitoring to measure once every 10 minutes instead of continuously.
Manage Activity Tracking: Disable automatic workout detection if you manually start your workouts. Add exercise shortcuts for faster workout initiation.
Optimize Notifications: Reduce notifications for less important apps in the Galaxy Wearable app settings. Disable "Turn on screen" for notifications and "Auto turn-on watch notifications for new phone apps" in advanced notification settings. Use sound instead of vibration for notifications; shorten and reduce the intensity of vibrations.
Manage Always-On Display: Manually turn off the always-on display or schedule it using modes based on time, location (distance from home), and connected devices (car Bluetooth or Android Auto). Hide status indicators after 2 seconds.
Disable Google Maps Mirroring: Disable driving and transit mirroring in the Google Maps settings on the watch to save battery.
Disable NFC: Disable NFC if you don't use Samsung Pay or Google Pay.
Speed Up Texting: Use voice-to-text or pre-set quick replies. Utilize suggested replies for more contextual responses.
Faster Charging: Disable the charging screen and auto power-on to speed up charging.
