I have an LG Urbane paired to my Verizon Note 3.
Any thoughts on how I should interpret this chart from the Android Wear App on my phone?
It looks like it's saying from my last full charge I have used 61% of my power. 7% while the watch was idle, 4% to light the screen, 3% for Android Wear, and 1% for Fit.
What about the other 46%? Where did that go?

After upgrade to this new firmware, motion sensor seems more sensitive than before and the battery drops more than previous one, I am only using it as a watch this couple of days to test it out the battery, with bluetooth turned off and motion active, it has been on for 34 hrs straight with 52% remaining, it is normal ? What is your average battery life?
I have bluetooth on (or there is no point), news clock face, brightness a 4.
I charge the watch every second day, not sure of the remaining battery life.
Dear all the LGGWR owner...
what is your standby battery drain record? with screen always on and screen off during standby..
i have just use this watch for few days..yesterday night (12am-7am)..i think i experience some high battery consumption during standby. i have switch the watch to airplane mode before i go to sleep and the battery is fully charge to 100%. at 7am, i check my watch, the battery is showing 91%~..
without any connection, screen is off during standby. 9% of drainage from 12am-7am seem to be no good. my LG G3 full charge 100% and when i ceck in the morning, it's still 100%.
You cannot compare the standby of a phone with the snadby of a watch, both in airplane mode. The idle mode of the cpu's will consume about the same amount of power, no matter if it's a phone cpu or a watch cpu ... but that power is provided by a 420mA battery for the watch and by some hefty amps on the phone. You just can't compare.
I'm charging my watch every night, when I go to bed (around 23:30) ... and in that moment I have between 35 and 55% battery left. I usually unplug the watch at 7AM.
I'm doing the same with my phone, no matter what battery I have left.

I agree, it's not that much of a loss in the grand scheme of things. I have the OnePlus and generally I have that charging overnight, the LG Watch R right now as it's new is getting a lot of play time, so it's being charged daily too, given that I finish the day on around 30-35% I think that once the novelty has worn off I could be getting 2 day usage from a single charge.

420mAh x 9% = 37.8mAh
3000mAh x <1% = <30mAh
The difference really isn't that much
I just got my XT1805. It should replace my Moto X Style. I liked my previous phone but the battery life was terrible (mainly caused by the energy inefficient snapdragon 808 and the higher resolution screen).
My first impression with my G5S plus is that the SOT is way longer than for the Moto X Style ... I'm happy about that.
But when looking at the battery graphs I see that my bluetooth is using lots of power. It holds the top line in my battery screen with about 823mAh on 12 hours. That's about 70mA per hour or a little more than 2% of my battery per hour.
With my previous phone I had the impression that bluetooth was barely using power. During the night my battery screen showed a flat line.
My bluetooth usage is not really different as before. I have a Garmin Fenix watch that's connected 24/7. And in my car I also use bluetooth but then my phone is always connected to a charger.
What do you think is extra battery drain of about 2% per hour due to bluetooth acceptable or not?

My wife is on stock and noticed the same thing. I think it may be misleading as the overall SOT time is about 8 or so hours with 1 to 2 days standby. I am on AOSP 7.1.2 and notice low BT usage but higher usage in other areas. Battery is still good but not quite as good as stock.
Well bought this phone back in mid 2017,and because of sickness I haven't used it that much at all.
I charged the battery 11 times so far and was keeping the phone in a desk drawer.
A month ago I noticed that the phone won't turn on,so I plug the charger on and charged the battery to 100 %.
I supposed that the phone was on,I didn't turn it off,and the battery left to 0% and shutdown the phone.
I really can't say how long it was on 0% (suppose like maybe a month).
Today I noticed very bad battery results.
Batterylife with GSam Battery Monitor is around 12 h only.
Was the "bolded text" the reason that battery died or the reason was not using the phone for 2 years?
Is there a software to check the damage of the battery?
I installed accubattery pro but for some reason doesn't offer me Health status of battery.

I would give the battery a few full cycles to see it that sorts it or yes, the battery it would seem is on its last legs. I don't know what app to recommend as an alternative though. (My battery is 23 months old and still performs as it did when I brought the phone)
I would drain it to 5% (maybe 1%) then charge it to 100% (without using phone while charging) a few times.
Then see how it goes. Afterwards charge phone from 20% or 15%.
Ok.I will charge it to 100% and report you with results with duration time on battery and you tell me how bad is it
GSam Monitor:
Battery Life: 3d 19.9h (5h 26m active)
Screen On:3h 40m (1h 17m Max)
In Android: battery estimated battery life: 2d 1h
Hi I noticed that my watch battery drains so fast. I charged it at noon and finished the charging at around 1 PM and after 4 hrs of not even using it much, it's down to 65%.
I would like to return the watch if the battery drains like this so fast. Any advice?
This was my fear about buying the watch. My Galaxy Watch lasts about 6 days on a charge. Try factory resetting it, maybe. Something might be stuck running.

How long have you had it? There is a period where you are playing with it more (without realizing it) and it also takes the battery several charge cycles to balance out the battery and measurement.
To troubleshoot:
Go into the Galaxy Watch app on the phone and look and see what is draining your battery. If it's a watchface, change it to test. If you don't notice anything unusual, factory reset the watch and do NOT restore the backup. Run it for some time in a "vanilla" format (no apps / watchfaces / no modified settings). If it STILL drains .. you might have an issue.
I have the 45mm LTE SM-R845U. Have LTE on, WiFi on, Bluetooth on and connected to my Note 10+. Currently 1 day 14 hours 14 min on battery and setting at 34% battery available running in standard power mode.

Thanks Wattsja! I'll do it today.
I'm actually playing around with "I'm Alive" for a true AOD. I'm still analyzing, but my current burn is @4% an hour with a constantly visible second hand (the non-continuous quartz motion). That's a 45% OPR, for the nerds (vs. Samsung limitation of 15% in dim mode).
I have a much more involved work around that is potentially a little better, as I suspect an active display looking for touches and gestures is a significant battery drain in this scenario. If I can get the burn down to 3% per hour, I might just keep this watch
I agree pretty much what others are saying here. Batteries need time to settle, and there's a lot more interaction with your new toy and lots of stuff updating and installing, far more than you think. It's exactly the same with phones.
So give it a few days and you will see it improve to your expectations.

I experienced intensive battery drain. Bluetooth seemed to be in a faulty status. Watch battery duration was less than one day (SM-R800 46mm). Solution was as simple as unpairing the watch and re-pairing. No need to reset.
In a previous occasion battery drain was simply due to Wi-Fi on.
