Just wondering if anyone is having issues with the battery life on the watch 5? i am having to charge the phone morning and evening for bed. Took it off charge at 7am and already at 11:28 im down to 37% battery!

It shouldn't be using that much battery..
Check its not doing something with GPS and you haven't accidentally started one of the fitness apps..

Samsung Support should be able to help as well https://support.samsung.com

gps only allowed all the time with bixby and assistant and allow when in use for the other apps.

no fitness apps have started and i have them set to manual tracking.

used Samsung support and utilised all the tips so last option is power saving but it restricts the watch and it defeats the object of having it.

spoke to o2 and they said to give a few more days and if no better they will exchange!
