    I wouldn't be getting the 42mm version battery is tiny, smaller than the Gear S3 which I have and battery is awful, the screen is also the same size on 42mm and 46mm,

    I'm using a Huawei GT and battery is amazing, not as good as the Gear S3 overall but still I prefer it for battery alone

    from what I have read from reviews you get 3 days on the 42mm and 4 on the 46 which seems decent to me
    I didn't want a big massive watch on my wrist

    42mm is 1.2"
    46mm is 1.3"

    I just bought 3 spare chargers (one for beside the bed, one for beside the couch, one for the desk, and one for the car) and I never notice having to need to charge mine (Gear S3). I'd welcome recommend doing it.

    I'd look at the new Wear Active too if you don't want anything huge. No rotating bezel but does everything else in a much nicer tidier package. Well under €200 on eglobal.

    The 46mm Samsung Galaxy Watch features a 472mAh battery, while the 42mm model has a 270mAh battery. ... The Gear S3 has a 380mAh

    Those estimated battery last times are "COULD" last, i.e disabling heart rate monitoring, also charging the watch at night means you don't get the sleep monitor data every night, hopefully they've updated the charger to a fast charger on this model.

    Same. Only takes an hour or two before bed for it to be charged

    46mm here, use all features and get 2 days max out of it. Charging is rather slow on the supplied dock

    You have 4 chargers and 'never notice having to need to charge' it. Sounds like you're charging constantly...

    I'm charging when I'm sitting driving or doing nothing, so I never notice HAVING to charge it for low battery because I always keep it topped up. It's always on my wrist and alive when I want it to be and I don't care whether it gets X or Y days battery life because what's the point in letting it run down each time and not having it when you want it?

    I have a galaxy S3 I bought refurbished at Christmas, I can only get a day from mine with average use (watch face off, maybe one training session daily for an hour) any ideas How I can make it last longer?
