Samsung assumes that most people want to do some level of health and fitness tracking on their Galaxy Watch. Even if that\u2019s true for you, there are a few lesser-known health settings that could be unnecessarily draining your battery. If you\u2019re not checking the data, it makes sense to disable them.<\/p>\n
While some people use a Galaxy Watch to track every workout and health metric, others just want simple apps and notifications. The truth is, you can save quite a bit of battery by disabling a handful of health settings. How many you decide to turn off depends on your interest in health and fitness.<\/p>\n
Continuous heart rate tracking<\/p>\n
Give your heart a break<\/p>\n
Right out of the box, your Galaxy Watch is set up to record your heart rate. However, on some models, the default setting is \u201cMeasure continuously.\u201d This is overkill for anyone who isn\u2019t interested in going on a deep dive into heart rate data.<\/p>\n
Now, you have two other options to choose from. If you want to keep some heart rate tracking, choose the \u201cEvery 10 mins\u201d option. When this is enabled, measurements are only taken every 10 minutes when you\u2019re not active. For those who don\u2019t care about it at all, there\u2019s a \u201cManual only\u201d mode\u2014only you can trigger a heart rate reading. Find these options at Settings > Health > Heart rate.<\/p>\n
Automatic workout detection<\/p>\n
Another thing that your Galaxy Watch is set up to track by default is \u201cworkouts.\u201d I say \u201cworkouts\u201d in quotes because it\u2019s a lot less serious than it sounds. In this case, \u201cworkouts\u201d can include just walking to work or riding your bike to the train station.<\/p>\n
When \u201cAuto detect workouts\u201d is enabled, your watch is constantly monitoring your movements to detect an activity. If it thinks you\u2019ve been doing a workout for a few minutes, it will kick in and start tracking your vitals, location, and other variables, depending on the specific activity. Needless to say, this can eat up quite a bit of battery.<\/p>\n
The good news is you can choose to completely disable this or limit it to a few activities. Go to Settings > Health > Activities to detect.\u201d Turn off any or all of the activities you\u2019d like. Some also have the option to automatically record your location, which can also be disabled.<\/p>\n
