Battery life has been a hot topic for the Moto 360, so you’re probably keeping a very close eye on it. When the Moto 360 first came out, the big disappointment for many was the limited battery life. Ensuing software updates have dramatically improved the situation since. Though the Moto 360 has a decent battery, but because you’re looking at the watch face a lot, the battery can drain quickly. So here i am suggesting you all the ways you can try to improve your Moto 360 battery life.
1. Upgrade to the latest firmware
There are numerous reports of significantly increased battery time with the latest update, Build KGW42R133 released on 9/24/14. To see what firmware you are running, go to Settings by holding the power button and scroll down to About. To upgrade firmware on moto 360 - make sure it’s connected to your phone with internet, and in the dock and charged up to 80% before updating. Settings > About > Firmware Update.
2. Turn off always on watch face
You can keep your screen turned off unless you turn it on. Go to Apps, then Android Wear, and then choose the gear icon. Scroll down to Screen always on, and toggle it to off. The downside of turning this off is that even the watch face will turn off when you’re not using it. If you find yourself wanting to see the watch face, you can turn it back on whenever you want.
3. Limit your notifications
Reducing the amount of notifications you receive on your Moto 360 means your screen will turn on less frequently and improve your battery life. Try muting some of your busy Hangouts group chats notifications or other busy notifications
4. Calibrate the Battery
To properly calibrate it, fully discharge the watch to 0% and then fully charge it on the dock without touching it to 100%. If you do this simple trick you may see better battery life and much more accurate percentages.
I hope that doing all this will certainly help you to run your Moto 360 a little longer than now.
