I'm trying to get help with my Galaxy watch 7 I have done every trick you could possibly think of to help with the battery drain I even uninstalled Google assistant and do not use Bixby on it I have shut off the Bluetooth and health monitoring as well and I cannot get this thing to stay charged for more than an 8 hour work day or call AT&T and all they say is I can change it in within 14 days well I'm on my 10th day of having it and don't know if I'll be able to make it to the store because that's the only way I can change it in I've read online that numerous people have had the same issue I don't know what else to do except for maybe try to run it with the tizen OS. Does anybody have any idea what is going on with this watch are they working on an update and should I just tough it out or should I just get rid of it and buy an off brand unless somebody has some help they can offer

Your watch runs on WearOS so you can't switch it to Tizen (ended with Watch2 or 3 as Watch4 was first on WearOS). Your watch is still relatively new and learning your usage patterns. Do you have AOD on? I keep my Watch4 dark unless I tap it, which helps save on battery. Look at the Recent apps and see what's using up your battery. Swipe up from bottom of watch, then click on double circles for Recent apps)

If you have AOD off and aren't using some strange battery hogging third party watch face with everything you've done you should get 30 to 40 hours usage. You didn't say if you reset the watch. If you haven't, do that and do a clean install, not from a back up. Only other thing might be some LTE issues with ATT causing a drain. Good luck

I'm suddenly having the same issues with my 7 (non LTE) I don't have the AOD on.  It's up to date and all of my apps are as well.  I haven't really changed anything setting wise in the past few weeks.  the past few days my battery goes from say 70% before I go to bed and put it in sleep mode to 5 % after 6 hrs (I don't sleep a lot) It also seems like it's taking longer to charge, same charger.  Not sure what's going on I checked in the battery section of the watch I don't see anything being that big of a battery drain.   I've had it since july and it's usually be no issue.
