I decided not to get the AW5, but the battery life on my AW4 is amazing. Totally satisfied with no complaints.

I charge my AW5 about every other day and a half, and even then there will be 30-40% percent battery to go.

I seem to get one and 3/4 of a days use out of it. I might turn it off at night and see what that does, as my watch seems to drop 10% of battery over night. That savings would likely give me two complete days out of the watch. Since I don't need it on it wouldn't be a issue.

Mine remains the same every single day. I almost always charge while I am showering after workout/breakfast, and I end the day around 50%-60%. If I forget or don't get a chance to charge, I go through a 17 hour day with a workout of as much as 2 hours with between 25% to 35% left.

I have to charge my watch everyday. I also wear it to track my sleep stats. I can get about 24 hrs on a single charge , since I’m pretty active though the day I turn off AOD to save battery.

For example for this week so far in my Activity app under Exercise : have ranged from a high of 338 minutes ( total 14 hrs 20 min )to a low of 225 minutes ( total 13 hrs 14 min )

I use it for walking, hiking, jogging and gym workout tracking ,everyday.
It charges pretty quick imo . That's a good thing
