Not necessarily true, just depends on what features you use on Skymaster or any watch face app. The less info you have on the face the better the battery life. I have Skymaster on with only date and time and great battery life. I also turned off tilt and ambient mode.
[Moto 360] olipheus:
Yesterday was a slow day, mail-wise, so I thought I'd just skip the overnight charging. I didn't turn it off, and current up-time is 26 hours and I have 48% left.

I forgot to mention I also use steps in the earlier post. The batterylife is amazing imo, and I think there must be something wierd going on when you can't even get a full day.
[Moto 360] olipheus:
Sorry, battery stats wasn't updated when I took the screen shot. Here's a fresh one:
[Moto 360] Badelhas:
Where can we see battery life?
[Moto 360] olipheus:
In the android wear app on your phone under the settings gear icon.
[Moto 360] serge_harle_z:
Will try it with your suggestion. Thanks
[Moto 360] Badelhas:
I have the watch since yesterday and have auto brightness and ambient Mode on and find the battery life sufficient to last a full day. It's early to be sure but I am happy with it until now.
[Moto 360] Mr Ian B:
Ever since I went to 5.1 on my nexus 6 the moto 360 battery life has gone to hell and several disconnects ruining battery life.

Google Location

I saw a tip from somebody else about turning off Google Location Services on my phone in the Google app and it made a huge impact on battery life, I was only getting about 8 hours before, now getting about 16.
[Moto 360] joeldinis:
Another question. It may sound like a stupid one and as I type this I am answering it.

Does watchfaces installed but not currently selected carry one using battery?

I believe the answer to be no. But at the back of my mind I wonder if apps like Pujie Black or Watchmaker keep influencing their faces despite not being in use. I know ridiculous, right.
[Moto 360] thecapuchin:
I ended up turning off tilt to wake and now I get roughly 40-45 hours of uptime between charges. Generally, I can get through two full days of work before having to put it back on its cradle. I'm very pleased with my 360 at this point.
[Moto 360] Badelhas:
I just charge it every night. I get to bed with 30 percent of battery and have everything on.

Fixed Moto 360 battery problems after android 5.0 update from AT&T

I just had an update from AT&T from 4.4 to 5.0 which caused my watch to totally go over the edge. It went from being able to be worn for two days to totally crapping out after four hours. I called Motorola after wasting my time with AT&T and was told the following. 1. Reset the Moto 360 2. Uninstall android wear. 3. Turn off Bluetooth. 4. Reinstall android wear.

5. Turn Bluetooth back on. 6. sink android wear and Moto 360 when the message comes up. Worked perfectly for me 54% after 9 hours.
[Moto 360] Mr Ian B:
Yeah I ended up doing those same steps a couple of days ago and back to normal battery life.

Thanks,

Ian B
[Moto 360] Ziltoid:
For the people that are getting good battery life ... are you using the default watch faces or others from the App Store? Wondering if they can hit the battery
[Moto 360] JanNegron:
default watch face
[Moto 360] Ziltoid:
Ok thanks. I just bought the watch yesterday and I am running the RichFace Digital Face. 3 hours into using it today and I am at 86% so let's see how this works out. I do have locations turned off for now though if it makes a difference. Hoping the watch faces are not an issue because there are some really cool looking ones.
[Moto 360] louser:
Not sure if the watch faces are hitting my battery. Yesterday I got 17.5 hours before it died. Here are my stats today. I'm a newbie, just got the watch on Saturday.
[Moto 360] codedeveloper:
I've been using InstaWeather for Android Wear for quite a while now. Daily battery usage is pretty consistent, leaving around 50-60% charge remaining after a 16 hour day.
[Moto 360] StariX37:
I use Watchmaker Premium Watch Face app from play store to set watchfaces for my Moto 360.

Currently using this Watch Face .
[Moto 360] StariX37:
I swap them daily twice or thrice. These are my favorite one's.
[Moto 360] Ziltoid:
That's a nice one. Do you have a link to the download? Thanks!
[Moto 360] arminvm:
I got my Moto 360 three days ago, and since the first day I have not been able to get anything better than 7 hours...attached you can see my battery status. I would be happy to know what is the problem that I get this huge battery drain...
[Moto 360] lekzzz:
For me it's about the same. I don't have installed anything only the standard apps.
[Moto 360] skyhawk21:
Guys I am in the same boat. I just got moto 360 from bestbuy deal for 50 bucks. Hell right now with a defective battery it isnt worth 50 bucks.

It was an older one and came with the 4.4.2 update installed. I fully charged it or thought I did on charger to 100 percent. Synced it first time to note 3 with latest android wear and got it up and running. Well that took 10 percent. then the next hour took another 15 percent. then next hour another 15. I was like WTF is wrong? So i reset everything on the phone for the watch, uninstall, unpair and factory reset watch. Then i charged it up to 100 percent and installed latest update to 5.0.2 then installed android wear again on note 3 with android 4.3 and then paired again. This time it was doing better but from 100% it died to 75 percent in two hours. then another two hours to 50 percent. I have nothing as far as watch apps installed, everything google disabled on phone and watch. It was on since 9:30pm last night fully charged up until now at 1pm so thats 15.5 hours of it sitting at idle and i have not touched it. When the battery hit 30-40 percent it leveled out and is now dieing very slowly. but from 100 percent down till then it was a sharp cutoff. It now has 21 percent left and estimating another 4 hours. Compared to the other battery stats screen grabs in this thread I should have like another half of day or more left. DAM!

I think i may have gotten a defective watch and the closest best buy is 60 miles away. I really do not want to drive to exchange it but it looks like my only option. I AM GONNA kill the thing to 0 percent. do a full recharge and watch it again one more time now that it has settled a little being connected to my phone and idling. If this doesnt fix it its goin back!

P.S. My watch was dead in the box had to charge it to get it to come on and work.

If you get a good one with a good battery, when you first opened it did watch power on and had some charge left?

Another issue is that it seems when pedo was active it was stuck and it sure in the heck was not counting steps correctly let alone working half the time. Maybe thats the problem its like its stuck and may be causing the battery to die. Also HEART sensor comes on all the dam time alot!
[Moto 360] Pure+:
Sounds exactly like my experience. Although I haven't been watching the life of my watch like you have because I just got the Samsung GS6edge and have been more preoccupied with the battery of it. But thinking about it now mine sounds exactly the same. I also got mine from BB. Got it Saturday. Came dead. Charged, setup, updated, dead a few hours later because I didn't fully charge. Left it dead until I want to bed and put it on the charger. Next day used from noon to 10 that night and only had about 20 percent left. Used today since 8 am it's 3 pm now and I have 60 percent. So clearly not as bad but I have everything turned off besides tap to wake and notifications. No heart rate bs. No pedometer bs. Basically just a watch with notifications. As basic as you could get. And now I see people running all sorts of apps, crazy detailed watch faces, and **** I didn't even know you could do and they are all getting way better battery than me. I think I see an exchange in my future.

[Moto 360] arminvm:
I am not sure if this problem is from defective battery. Just disconnect it from your phone and check how the battery drains...

I myself have doubts about the battery...maybe they are defective..I also got it from Bestbuy for $80 off.
[Moto 360] skyhawk21:
two screenshots of battery life weirdness: (click them for big size)
[Moto 360] gammite:
got 18 hours yesterday and still had about ~15% available when i went to bed.

---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 PM ----------

for those of you new to the watch keep in mind that it takes a few days for the battery to normalize.
[Moto 360] Asuppa180:
Agreed. For the first few days I had it, it was dying rapidly. Has gotten much better in since. For example, it has been off the charger for about 4 hours, and I am at 91%. And I too use Watchmaker premium, and it's paired to a Note 4. Only issue I am experiencing is the occasional loss of connection that requires me to cycle Bluetooth to get it working again.
[Moto 360] Badelhas:
I use watchmaker and the HTC one m8 and normally get to bed with 20 per cent of battery life. Ambient Mode on and auto brightness. Here's a screenshot

And it does take some days to normalize battery life.

Now I just want Motorola to sell this separately, the best band to go with the simple yet classy design of the Moto 360, in my opinion :)
[Moto 360] arminvm:
"""""Update"""""

I tried to figure out why I have huge battery drain on my moto 360, first I was thinking this is becasue of the watch, but then I thought maybe its becasue of the phone!

So, I have an AT&T HTC One M8 which was recently updated to android 5.02...I did a hard reset and reinstalled everything...I also reset my moto 360 and resynced it with my M8...now I am getting much better battery life with lots of loaded apps and all the fittness trackers on in my moto 360!

So, I suggest who ever has M8 and sees huge battery drain with moto 360, just do a hard reset and resync it with the watch. I will post my battery usage by end of day for confirmation.
[Moto 360] skyhawk21:
Wanted to update everyone. I thought I got a bad moto 360 from BestBuy deal. As you can see from my previous posts and battery stats with 5.0.2 software on watch and latest android wear software on a verizon note 3 running android 4.3, I had sharp decrease in batt life right away on watch after first charge after software update. Then it leveled out for some reason from 40 percent on down to 1 percent. I ACTUALLY DID GET 25 total hours out of it with a lot of usage and first sync and android wear checking it all the time! After that I put it on the charger after it died to 0 percent. I put it on last night at 11:32pm and let it charge fully up until 1:22am 4-14-15 this morning. I took it off charger after 100 percent full and kept it by the phone all night while I slept. Got up at 10am and checked it once screen on batt level and with android wear from phone.

From 1:22am up until 10:22am (9 hours) it drained on its own 11 percent. Now almost at 11:22am from 1:22am (10 hours) we are at 88 percent battery life left(12 percent used making it so far 1.2% an hour) this is without using the watch though or having android wear access it frequently. The battery stats is showing a hell of a better battery curve and is estimating 3 days usage. I am not going to mess with it much and see how far it goes only turning it on every so often in next couple of days or accessing it with android wear. Then after that I will do another full charge from 0 percent up to full and use it extensively...

I did not want to have to drive 60 miles to exchange it. Lets hope it keeps working like this and I will be a happy camper!
[Moto 360] JanNegron:
just look the app activity and you're going to know what's happens.. Try using stock watchface for a week, later changed it. And try to block the apps you don't use in your watch.
[Moto 360] arminvm:
If you check my above post, I got it fixed...it was becasue of the AT&T software update on my M8, I hard reset my phone and since then the battery is lasting for ever ?? I am not using stock watch faces, and all the fittness travkimg options are on. I will post my battery status in night.
[Moto 360] pakure:
All you new users... Chill, relax.. The moto 360 takes a few charges to optimize it's battery... It happened to everyone... Been using it since October... No issues
[Moto 360] arminvm:
I have noticed that the battery drains fast when apps update in background...how can we stop that? please check my battery status attached.
[Moto 360] kxhaz:
I picked up my Moto 360 on Friday at Best Buy, it seemed to drain a bit fast and then I had a notice for an update and I took the update and while granted it was a new toy and I was playing with it, it seemed to drain very fast. Saturday morning I took it off the charger at 100% feel back to sleep and woke up 2.5 hours later with only 43% battery left. I did some searching and saw where people talked about doing a factory reset of the watch and deleting the android wear app from my phone. So I charged my watch back to 100% and did that and like magic I was see better life right away. I took the watch off the charger yesterday at 4 am and went to bed at 10:30 with 43% battery left and that included a 45 min run with Runkeeper and all.

I have no problem charging the watch all night and getting all the notification and everything on the watch, it looks like now I can make it 24 hours easily.
[Moto 360] theevilshiftkey:
Got mine this weekend with the price drop (yeah I know they're just making room for the newer model, but hey). Immediately did all the updates and my battery life is as good as my phone, which is to say "all day" plus some change. I'm not really running any weird apps on mine, but lots of faces.
[Moto 360] skyhawk21:
Good news! With barely any use and training the battery after a good second full charge, I was at 50 percent battery at 6:22pm today. That is exactly 41 hours from when it was took off the charger at 1:22am 4-14-15. So far now we are at 1.22% an hour. Not bad if it continues at the same or better discharge rate per hour we will be at 82 hours when it dies. I think that would be a world record! I got the batt graphs to prove it screenshotted on my note 3 I will upload!

I only been checking it like every 4 hours using the latest version of android wear on my note 3 with android 4.3. The watch has latest lollipop 5.0.2. Other than that have not used watch at all. did get two notifcations thus far on it.
[Moto 360] leyvatron:
Make sure you guys download a task manager app to close apps running in the background. This should improve battery.
[Moto 360] skyhawk21:
Here are my screen grabs to go with my earlier post about way better battery curve with 1.22% an hour discharge rate... (click for larger image)
[Moto 360] skyhawk21:
Great news! With barely any use and training the battery after a good second full charge, I am at 2 percent battery as of 4:22pm today. That is exactly 87 hours uptime on the MOTO 360 from when it was took off the charger at 1:22am 4-14-15. So far now we are at 1.13% an hour. Great discharge rate per hour. I think this is a world record! I got the battery graphs to prove it screenshotted on my note 3!

I only been checking it like every 4 hours using the latest version of android wear on my note 3 with android 4.3. The watch has latest lollipop 5.0.2. Other than that have not used watch at all. did get about 10 notifcations thus far on it.

Has anyone else got this great of battery life? I disabled most of the fit and moto connect stuff on watch and disabled all of that stuff notifications. I still get texts, calls notifications on watch. Do not use google now, I have location stuff disabled, and my note 3 is pretty much optimized and tweaked with many apps disabled. Check out the percentages of what software was running for battery stats on the MOTO 360.

[Moto 360] Pat123:
Might be a stupid question, but does everyone keep their Moto 360 display always-on? If not, how many hours can I expect with always on?
[Moto 360] JanNegron:
nope. but in the new update of Android Wear, Google said there are a new feature of "keep screen on" and the battery won't be affected.. so we might check out!
[Moto 360] Badelhas:
I keep it always on, along with auto brightness and get to bed with 20 per cent of battery life, at least.

[Moto 360] lilmikey201:
ive been getting really good battery life
[Moto 360] MrStig91:
I've had my 360 for a few months now (or two at least) and have been getting fantastic battery life with it using the default watch faces. I do not use ambient display, but do have tilt to wake enabled. I take the watch off the charger around 5am every day and put it up at about 730pm and usually have around 50% left. Sometimes left if I did a lot of searches and music control and such.

Anyway, I finally decided to try some new faces, and today used "Skymaster" and it went down to 50% in about three hours. This is obviously unacceptable, especially for a guy that works 12 hours every day. I have no problem charging every night, but a boost in the middle of the day is ridiculous. Now, let me ask this. Is this drain due something like the weather readout on the face? Thats the only thing I can think that would really affect it like this.

Any tips on using custom faces and getting them to last all day? Ranger is another one I would love to use but had the same experience with it when I tried it. It was actually completely dead in about 5 hours.
[Moto 360] jco23:
I use watchmaker and still get great battery life. I too have tilt enabled plus weather display.
[Moto 360] TechBSwift:
I think you may need to do a factory reset. I just put my watch on the charger, but as you can see from 9am to 12 am, I only used about 25%... at that rate I can go about 3 days. If you really want great battery life stick with the default watch faces

[Moto 360] KryptosXLayer2:
I don't know how you guys are doing it, here are some of my recent batt stats, attached

I'm literally half way through my work day and I'm having to charge the stupid thing because it was going to die. In the car, I was getting 20% hit per hour from using Navigation, Google Music, and notifications throughout, but as you can see from today's most recent stat, NONE of those are at the top and NONE of the services listed are very high percentages!

Why is AW so high up? More importantly, why is Bluetooth so high up? My screen is set to Ambient Off, Tilt to Wake, Auto Brightness, and is only 3% of the battery! What am I doing wrong, if I can't get this approved, I will dump this back off at Best Buy with a quickness.......
[Moto 360] raundown:
WHen you guys say apps disabled, do you mean by block notifications? Because some of the apps listed above are not possible to uninstall
[Moto 360] noellenchris:
From what I can tell, the watch face you use seems to have a big impact. I use WatchMaker and my own custom face where the second hand is constantly moving. I seem to make it through the day with 50% to spare by 10pm from 5am. The only "trick" I do is, in the morning I reboot my phone and after it's rebooted, I pull both the phone and watch off the charger and go. Someone else suggested that and so far it seems to work for me. Maybe it's placebo, but give it a try.

Like you, I have ambient off and tilt on. I also went into each of the heart rate and fitness apps on the watch and turned off the notification or whatever I could disable on my un rooted 360. Good luck.

Chris
[Moto 360] KryptosXLayer2:
I understand what your saying, my WatchMaker watch face has a smooth second hand too. But you don't see WM on my list of battery stats! Android Wear =/= WatchMaker or the face being used! I've charged it up and disabled a few extra notifications, so we'll see if any of this helps....

Coincidentally, it looks like I'm not the only person with the exact same things on their battery stats and getting terrible battery life - check out this post just two weeks ago
[Moto 360] swimminsurfer256:
I have nearly the exact same setup as you, using one of the stock watch faces, and I have some of the exact same behavior with battery that you're seeing. Based on reviews in the Play store I'm assuming this behavior started with a recent version of Connect/Wear. I'm going to revert to an older apk if I can find one and see if it helps..
[Moto 360] Badelhas:
I don't understand what is Google thinking. It seems that lately battery life gets worse with every update. Happened the same when I updated to Lollipop on my HTC One M8 ?
[Moto 360] noellenchris:
I looked at mine and my bluetooth is only using 1% and watch idle is 10% then screen at 3%. Now you need to find out why the BT is using so much. I'm sorry I'm of no help. I will google high BT issues and post here if I find anything..

EDIT: Maybe Re Pairing the watch?

EDIT2: Read somewhere where someone turned on airplane mode on watch and had google maps on phone FC or something like that. Maybe you can turn on airplane mode on watch and see if you can catch any misbehaving apps on phone or watch.....?

Chris
[Moto 360] JanNegron:
In fact in my Battery Stats from the watch, Fit is in, but 1% only, if you don't had Fit in your phone, try to block when a notification come. Also block Moto Health, o whatever they call it. hahahaha.
[Moto 360] Powell730:
I have ambient mode off and tilt on. Feel like I should get better battery than this.. I drive all day at work so sometimes my watch comes on when it's not supposed to as I turn the wheel etc.

[Moto 360] Powell730:
The watch face I assume.

Do you have tilt on or off?
[Moto 360] thevaristy:
Arent the Mickey watch faces done through Facer or Watchmaker? If it shows in battery stats, it makes me think its an app.
