    Great video man as always! Thanks for your effort. Please continue to update us especially on the battery side 💪 you're killing it

  • @YppenplatzBasketballAssociatio

    I cant imagine if you activate the lte how much its gonna drain the battery.....thanx for the video 👍

      @VelianSpeaksTech  Před měsícem +7

      Sone users report very good battery even with LTE on. Some people say that it overheats, but maybe low LTE signal, that causes the watch to search for the signal...

      True, I have activated LTE and it still gives 2.5 days of battery life.

      from s24u phn i am trying iphn15promax with apple watch ultra2 and i found LTE drain...
      seems as if watch piggybanks seamless so i tested 3 days still had charge normal use a few calls 1 hr a day hike with gps messages calls etc but had phn with me so i guess it piggybacks phn lte when i tried it a few tines leaving phn at hone id did chew way more and one place where i hike has iffy cell signal and in that area it drained quicker probably trying to get signal...
      took it from canada to greece to try on trip on a hunch it might work on vodophone no luck so i use it on non cellular mode... anyway i saw this samsung watch at local store when i return i might get one for my s24u...

    Okay, so I did some homework myself.
    You can use the GPS or Google Maps standalone on the watch without your phone nearby on LTE. In fact, you can use all the watch apps standalone on LTE .. Meaning an e-sim with data.

    Wow, gps is quite bad on the map... I did the same hike path with my watch 5 pro and it's more accurate on the map. It follows the path almost all the time and tracks do overlap (I went to the next hut an back). Make sure you have selected precise location on the watch. But yeah, the same battery 590 mha, which is the same as 5 pro. Yes, a better processor, but I'm sure that with the screen and all the updates it will drain it faster. I do hikes very often and my watch 5 pro barely gets to 8-10 hours. I plan my routes and then send the gpx file on the watch so I have the map always shown when it wakes up. Still gonna wait for the epix 8 in two months.

    • @VelianSpeaksTech
      @VelianSpeaksTech  Před měsícem +1

      Agree...BTW I setup location from the watch, there is only on and off and Google accuracy to improve location

    ty for your cardio effort for your viewers. very appreciative.
    as for the gps stuff, can this be chalked up to not military grade gps? so for regular people we can't expect total accuracy for gps? or did something change where now civilians can expect military grade gps? I haven't really kept up with the news. But from what i saw, your gps more or less is in the ballpark if not exactly precise, which is probably ok for most people?

    • @VelianSpeaksTech
      @VelianSpeaksTech  Před měsícem +3

      The GPS is dual band L1 and L2 which should help in more dense areas, like urban and etc, but yes, not really millitarty grade, probablely even worse than Garmin I d suppose.

    Предполагам е бил свързан с телефона и така ползва неговия GPS. Пробвай на самолетен режим, да се разкачи от телефона, и активирай WearOS GPS Fix приложението, интересно ми е дали ще има подобрение.

    Great info! Too bad the battery situation though...all those smartwatches give me great battery anxiety more time than not, with Garmin I almost don't think about battery at all. Gamin would track my day like nothing, here the battery will go in 4 hours of outside activity....that might easily be half a day for many...

    • @VelianSpeaksTech
      @VelianSpeaksTech  Před měsícem +1

      I can feel you! The only 2 smartwatches that didn't give me anxiety were Garmin Fenix 5 and Huawei Watch GT2 Pro, but sadly not ao many smart features.

      @@VelianSpeaksTech I'm using Huawei Watch 4 at the moment besides my Garmin and it gives me day and half with AOD, eSIM active, all the health features on, training both days in the gym and many notifications. Double that with BT only. Garmin is easily a week, I just don't know what to change Garmin with to get at least decent battery on WearOS.
      Unfortunately, Garmin are also better in the health features application.

    Regarding the poor battery performance, I just wanted to check with you: have you turned off ADB debugging and Developer Options? Keeping both of these on can greatly impact battery life as well.

  • @chiragvijayvergia587

    I don't know if I am asking too much, but if in case you get a chance to get apple watch ultra 2 and do everything same with both watch in hand and check batter life. Because people are cursing galaxy ultra 😡 but smart watch cannot have 3 4 days battery life 🔋

    • @VelianSpeaksTech
      @VelianSpeaksTech  Před měsícem +2

      With that, I agree. I only wish it made 48 hours as the claim on a single charge with power saving.

      No, because it wants that HR and GPS tracking will be less accurate.

    I ordered this watch but based on the reviews I've seen so far the battery life is going to be well below expectations which might cause me to return it.

      No... or maybe I am missing something. Maybe when you load a GPX route, you will be able to see it, but not without it.

    I ran 6km and walked 1km and lost 25% on my watch 7 while using galaxy buds on the watch itself. I decided to switch the walk settings to approximate since i dont care about its accuracy. Also, I dissabled raise wrist to wake because it activated too often when not needed at work. Tap to wake is good with AOD. More testing to be done, but now i think i can reach samsung's 30 hour AOD claim.

    The "ultra" moniker does not signify that the watch is indeed an ultra device, considering how inaccurate its GPS, sleep tracking, heart rate tracking, etc., are. The only thing "ultra" about it is its price.
