I received the watch 6 last October as a birthday present from my wife.
I was using an older Samsung watch and it was a great watch with a battery that remain charged for almost 3 days.
I upgraded for the watch 6 and I can say that its my worst experience with a samsung product ever. Battery doesn't remain charged more than 8 hours, I m not using to track any activity or to answer calls, I use it as regular watch. I visited samsung boutique, they told me there might be some apps running in the background, I did a factory reset few times. But still the same issue. Which means its a watch issue.
After a brief internet search, I found this Samsung link, which offers various suggestions for resolving your issue. I don't know if you came across this, but, Try it out and hopefully it works. Since I use a Garmin watch, I am unable to speak from personal experience. https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01003232/
We apologize for the inconvenience you’re experiencing. To help resolve this, please follow these steps:
1. Run a Battery Diagnostic: If your watch is paired with a Samsung phone, use the Samsung Members app to perform a diagnostic on the watch battery. This will help determine if the battery is in good condition.
2. Update Your Apps and Watch Software: - Ensure your watch and all apps are up-to-date. From the Galaxy Wearable app on your phone: - Tap Watch settings or the SETTINGS tab. - Tap About watch and then Update watch software. - Tap Update now or Download updates manually.
3. Manage Battery Usage: - Turn off unused health trackers and background apps. - Check and adjust network connections, and disable features like Watch always on and Voice wake-up in Bixby or Google Assistant. - Consider turning on Power saving mode to extend battery life.
4. Avoid Temperature Extremes: Exposing your watch to very hot or cold temperatures can negatively affect battery performance.
Please note that battery life can vary depending on usage patterns and settings.
