Sleeping with Watch and battery life.

[pooleman]

This is mine. 100% noon yesterday. Did 2 hour run with music. After the run it was 81%. Yeah battery drains exponentially. Now it's 1100 am and I just woke up.it must've been 60% when I went to bed at 5am this morning.

Here is my usage from the Watch and the iPhone 6 Plus as of 2:30 today. I took them both off the charger last night at the same time. Slept with the Watch, walked for about 40 and occasional Watch play.

Last night I topped off the Watch just before I crawled into bed. I put the Watch on, turned on the muted tap alarm and then put the Watch in airplane mode. Watch got me up and had about 93% battery life. Watch battery is currently at 3h10m Usage, 14h46m stand with 59% battery remaining.

Smart move with putting watch in airplane mode, makes sense while you sleep.

I would be interested in the impact on your iPhone battery life. NPR did a review on the watch where the reviewer left his fully charged watch and iPhone off the charger all night, the phone dropped to 69% after 7 hours of NOTHING happening while he slept.

I'm sure you leave your phone on the charger so this doesn't necessarily impact you. I have a charger in my car, so this would not be a problem for me either ... I'm just curious about the impact on the watch on the phone's battery, as this will affect you during the day. It would seem that with minimal activity the power drain is about 1:3 in favor of the watch.

I have not noticed any extra battery drain on the iPhone while i sleep and wearing the watch.

I actually get better numbers... I have a 42mm version...

Around 9pm, I take my watch off to charge back to 100% and by 10pm I put it back on and set the silent alarm. Around 5am when the silent alarm taps me awake, the battery is always at 94%. I recently started changing the raise wrist to activate to off at bedtime and I wake to 94-95% 7-8 hours later.

I workout for an hour using the workout app and it is around 80-85% with the HR monitor running the whole time. When I shower, I charge the battery and it is back to 100% 10-15 minutes later.

Each night when I charge, the battery is about 50% or higher. If it is a golf night and I use the workout app for 3+ hours and 1000+ calories the battery is around 25-30% by 9pm. The activity app on those days has around 2000 calories burned, 200 minutes of workout time and 14-16 hours of standing.

Battery has never been an issue and I know sleep tracking is planned, but the silent alarm is a huge blessing if you have a spouse/SO.

Definitely impressive numbers, maybe my watch is still going through "break in' period.
Only thing i can think of is my work requires many high fives and jazz hands (J/K).....

I've been a watch guy since i could tell time, and I've always worn them to bed with me.
I got use to having something on my wrist at all times, and also it helps knowing how much longer i have before the alarm wakes me up.
I got my Watch last week and been wearing it while i sleep. One of the biggest benefits to me is waking up to physical taps on your wrist instead of an audio alarm. It also helps greatly that i don't wake up my wife as her alarm is usually set 30-45 minutes after mine.

I've been trying to charge the watch to 100% before bedtime (if my work schedule allows) and usually wake up 6-7 hours later with the watch in the mid to high 80s and sometimes as high as 91% on the battery. I then proceed to wear the watch and head to work. Last few days at work the watch has been around 20% by the end of my 13 hour shift. I only use the watch at work for some iPhone app notifications (FB, Mail, WhatsApp,etc), text replies to my contacts and to send taps/drawings/HR to my better half. I have about 6 apps installed (for now), text set to bold, haptic all the way up and brightness to the middle.

Anyone else getting similar numbers?

Are you guys topping the battery off while getting dressed in the morning as well?

I have been pleasantly surprised by both the battery life AND how quickly I can bump up the charge. I too have started wearing the watch while sleeping, for two reasons - should an important call come in during the night and the alarm feature.

I started wearing it at night when I found I was still running at 30-40% by the end of the day and that putting it on the charge while I was getting ready in the morning was usually enough to get me back up to 100% before I headed out.

It has made batter life almost a nonexistent issue.

I've been using the sleep tracking ability of my Fitbit One for years now. It also wakes me up every morning to a gentle buzz on my wrist and doesn't wake up my significant other. Half the time she doesn't even feel me get out of bed. I don't see the AW taking the place of it completely for at least another generation or two. The battery on the One is also good for at least 7 days, and I just by habit charge it while I shower.

The AW charges every night..

After reading this thread, I decided to sleep with my watch last night. Went ahead to set the alarm on my watch and then put the watch in POWER RESERVE mode. Bad mistake! The alarm on the watch never went off and I was late for work today. The good thing is, my watch still had 95% power after restarting from power reserve mode and I didn't need to charge it while doing my 3 S's

I tried it last night. Put the watch in Airplane mode. Darned thing woke me up an hour and 15 minutes before the alarm and told me to stand up and move. Guess I'll have to do a little more reading on the subject - and quit playing around until the weekend.

However, I went to bed at 34 or 38% battery and woke to 23%, so battery life is not an issue.
