I've fallen & I can't get up but my battery's dead

I like this watch and I think it has a lot of nice features. But the battery won't even make it though the day; it poops out after about 6 hours! I'm in my 70's and one if the main reasons I bought this watch was for fall protection. This watch will NOT help me if I fall and the battery is dead or if the watch is on the charger! I've tried removing apps, turning off settings like always on, dimming the display, and I don't usually make phone calls. This wasn't a cheap watch, and this poor battery performance is inexcusable!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Watch features are great. The ability to use a walkie talkie like iwatch would be amazing. But ! The gold is definitely not gold! It looks like a faded silver

Battery drains too fast!
on September 11, 2023
Posted by: Kc2b88
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my watch mostly for work, just checking the time and as a timer, that is all I use it for and it will only last half my shift! I work 8-12 hrs days and by noon I am getting low battery warning. Everything else is fine on it, easy to use but the battery life is awful! I upgraded last month because of battery issues with the previous one, I feel this one is worse.

I was very excited to get this watch because it said it had a new and improved battety life, but the battery life is awful. I have to charge it everyday. There is no way I could wear it overnight and still have much if any battery life the next day. Very disappointing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
