Still holding on to my S4 until it dies or they make a decent upgrade to battery life.
If you don’t need the new features, they have made massive improvements to battery life—they’re just hidden behind the new features a s5 owner might not care about or need.
When I got my S6, I disabled:
- Pulse OX
- Always on display
- wake on lift
- noise monitoring
I also set the vibration to the lightest/most subtle mode.
When new, I was getting 56 hours.
I’m down to about 48 hours after just over two years.
Caveat: I use a Bluetooth HRM when working out. When I workout with the watch as the always-on HRM battery life is shortened accordingly.
I did not know you could disable noise monitoring, or as I like to call it ‘hand is outside the window while driving’ alert.
