Today, at 1pm Samsung Health app was at 11%. Now at 11pm, Samsung health app is at 45% of battery used. I have done nothing but walk around the house since 1pm. No exercising or excessive movements
Yeah, but they are running in the background. You can actually check up on them by running Wear and then Battery under the Settings. This will list the apps that reach 0.1% usage. The list grows longer the longer your watch runs between complete charges. I am running a Watch7 44mm LTE, though I do not have a carrier. At one point last week, after 3 days of running between charges, my Watch7 had a list of 16 apps with 0.1% or more of usage. The power consumption with 4 or 5 apps consuming 0.1% to 2.1% of power usage may ber relatively insignificant, but I can assure you that 16 of these apps running 8.9% to 0.1% is very significant. I totaled up the list of 16 and it was around 15% The point I am making is that I could see 15% because they met the 0.1% usage threshold (or greater), but there are many more that don't make the usage threshold to be visible, but they are using a lot of power, colle tively, and the benefit is at best dubious.
I've been making this argument for years, but it falls on deaf ears at Samsung, and the sad part is that you can't turn this stuff off if you don't use it.
Just keep in mind, unless you can uninstall or disable an app, it will run. They all will run. But, the only way you know if it runs is if it reaches the 0.1% usage threshold, which makes it visible to you.
My watch does it as well. I usually just restart my watch and it kills them from running. Sometimes a few days later they come back. I think they detect a workout and start automatically.
Actually, they "disappear" because a full charge resets the power usage accumulator, and they appear to disappear because none of the apps have accumulated 0.1% of power usage. It takes ~2 to 3 hours before they use enough power to start to show up.
