Battery drains extremely fast on the Samsung Gear S3 watch

[fred1978]

I recently bought a Samsung gear s3 watch used on eBay. The first day everything seemed fine. Now I can charge it to 100% and it says it has over a day and a half charge but it drains down extremely fast and it only last a little over a half day. Am I doing something wrong. Anybody have any answers? Please help

same on my galaxy watch. no idea why. I went on YouTube to get more info. nothing has worked for me yet. it was after an update that it happened.

I think that might be what happened to mine. I just reset it again. I wonder if I can skip the update.

if you find a good way to fix it, let me know. I haven't worn my watch in months because of how inconvenient the drain is.

I will let you know. thanks

Had the same issue while mine was still under warranty. When sent it to Samsung for repair it was noticed that the battery was swelling. Replaced it and no issues since then.

mine just started draining after an update. is there a way to go back?
