In real-world use it can exceed two weeks, with about 12 days of normal use and roughly 7 days when AOD is on. In power-saving mode, it stretches to 18 days, just shy of Watch GT 6's around 21 days. The device packs a 930mAh battery and claims 6 days of daily use with all features active. It's also the first wearable to support EMG technology, elevating health tracking. The question now is what further innovations future wearables will bring to capture consumer attention.
