Galaxy Watch Battery Life Time Test Procedure

※ Note : Battery usage time depends on device setting and usage.
Please note that the actual results may be different from the time displayed on the website, depending on the actual network connection status and components.

A. Average Usage Time
The average usage time test was conducted by taking into consideration the wireless carrier and region. It was carried out in a lab environment implementing the network such as LTE/WCDMA, etc. The average usage time was calculated in the environment, setting the channel and band.

60 notifications, 40 times of SMS / Messenger and other checks,
60 time checks, 130 times of menu list checks a day
