    • Battery life is insane
    • I’d like a bit more battery life but for the price, this watch really can’t be beat!

    • The battery life is absurd
    • Battery life is decent depending on what you are using it for
    • To improve battery life you need to disable any watch face data that is constantly changing like seconds display, heart rate, etc which drains the battery.- Fitness Tracking: Garmin is hands down the best brand for fitness tracking
    • Like the movement reminders and notifications, battery life is goodcons: the band gives me a friction burn every once in a while
    • It's certainly not as "pretty" as AMOLED like on a Samsung or the V2, but much more practical, and far better battery life
    • It worked great, battery life was 4-6 days
    • Absolutely love the watch colour and functions, however the battery life is shocking!
    • The battery life on this watch is great

    • Depending on what you use it for, the battery life is questionable.
    • Battery life is disappointing
    • My vivoactive 3 battery life was weak and it kept having issues with syncing (Silly me!)
    • Battery life is exceptional for a smart watch
    • I found the music feature to be worthless, the battery life stunk even if I didn't use the music, and while the pulse-ox feature is neat it kills the already weak battery even faster.
    • The battery life is good for a runner
    • This watch has many great features to it: it's stylish and comfortable on the wrist, the battery life is stupendous, its interface is fast and zippy, and the health tracking is excellent
    • Other than that, it's a step up from the 3, and I like the smaller size, the battery life is good, and the touch screen is less sensitive (good).The Pulse Ox reading can be scary, especially amid the COVID era, because it is way too low for me.
    • The battery life is decent, I use the watch for runs and workouts for about 3 hours a day and then wear it all the time, and it takes 3 days to get to 35-ish %.I really like how customizable the watch is, especially how I can download workouts and do them with the watch timing me and/or counting my reps
    • Original: Battery life is much worse than on my Vivoactive 3
    • Update 12/20/20: Battery life can be better, STILL
    • The battery life is worse(50% after two days without heavy use and dim screen), The button and screen are the same but without some of the options, I had with my Vivoactive 3
    • I upgraded to the 4S from the vivoactive 3.Some notes:-battery life is better than the 3 but just "ok"
    • The battery life is amazing
    • Battery life is pretty weak though.
    • Overall the watch looks great and the battery life seems good but the no apple music without a pc/mac is a no-go for me and also I feel like the vibration even on High is somewhat low compared to an apple watch.
    • Battery life is brilliant
    • This could be a trade off when compared with the excellent battery life offered.
    • Love the sleep tracking, app is easy to use, battery life is good
    • I found the battery life on this to be terrible
    • Battery life is strong and music functions work great with my Amazon music app
    • I wear it everyday, tracking my exercises and routines, and the battery life is pretty good.
    • The battery life is decent with about 4 or more days of battery time and the way I use the watch
    • The battery life on this thing is great
    • But battery life sucks I have no other complains
    • The battery life is pretty
    • Big improvements over the Vivoactive HR, but battery life is terrible
    • Battery life is hit or miss
    • Even after a full charge right out of the box it is nowhere near as fast as I would expect
    • I have a OnePlus 6T and was really struggling as I wanted something like an apple Watch that wouldnt break the bank
    • faces - the cute ones from the previous watch are not available; the music control is misleading as I can no longer control my music apps from my watch (?!?!?!?!)
    • Of course, the window to return the item has passed, but I would not recommend I'd you're looking to use the swim feature.
