Galaxy watch has awful battery life

[Cupar19]

Its been about 10 minutes and my watch has gone down 5%, why is the battery life much lower than it should be?

I have a Gear S3 (last gen galaxy watch) and my battery last for about 2 or 3 days. Did you just buy it, if so get a replacement

Thats really weird. Try updating the firmware and charge it over night to see what happens. 

 

If not call up samsung, thats really sucky

Are you running a custom skin?  With always on enabled I get almost 3 days at full functionality.
