Battery life depends primarily on the watch model and how you use it each day. To help you, we have compiled the approximate autonomy you can expect from each with moderate use (occasional checks, basic notifications, and touchscreen use).
Approximate Autonomy by Model
The following table shows the estimated duration in different usage scenarios:
| Model | Battery Capacity | Duration with Moderate Use* | Duration with GPS Active** | Maximum Duration (Power Saving Mode)*** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Iconic + 2 | 850 mAh | Approx. 24 hours | 8-12 hours | Up to 36 hours |
| Savewatch+ | 680 mAh | Approx. 24 hours | 6-10 hours | Up to 32 hours |
| Senior | 700 mAh | Approx. 24 hours | 7-11 hours | Up to 34 hours |
| Enjoy | 650 mAh | Approx. 24 hours | 5-8 hours | Up to 28 hours |
| Slim | 550 mAh | Approx. 24 hours | 4-6 hours | Up to 24 hours |
| Iconic+ | 1000 mAh | Approx. 24 hours | 9-14 hours | Up to 40 hours |
- Moderate Use: Includes notifications, basic monitoring, and occasional touchscreen use.
** Active GPS Use: Continuous use with sports or navigation apps.
*** Power Saving Mode: Disables features like GPS, reduces brightness, and minimizes notifications.
💡 Tips to Optimize Battery Life
Small adjustments to the settings can make a big difference in your watch's autonomy:
- Adjust GPS Frequency: Configure location updates to every 10 minutes (instead of constant) from the Map Settings in the app.
- Disable LBS: In Location Settings, turn off LBS (Location Based on Mobile Towers). It is less accurate and usually consumes more battery than optimized GPS.
- Manage Brightness: Reduce the screen brightness to the lowest comfortable level.
- Turn Off Unnecessary Functions: Deactivate Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Night Mode when you don't need them.
- Use Our SaveFamily SIM Card: For an optimal experience and energy saving, we recommend using our SIM card. It is optimized for our devices and can increase battery life by up to 20%.

Factors That Can Affect Battery Life
It is normal for the battery to last less in these situations:
- Intensive Use: Making frequent calls, video calls, using GPS for sports, or playing games.
- Constant Connectivity: Keeping connections like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or mobile data active in areas with poor coverage.
- Environmental Conditions: Very high or very low temperatures can temporarily affect battery performance.
Still Have Questions?
If your watch does not achieve approximately the indicated duration for your model even after following these tips, we recommend:
- Calibrate the Battery: Fully discharge the watch (until it shuts off) and then charge it to 100% without interruptions.
- Update the Firmware: Make sure you have the latest software version installed from the SaveFamily app.
- Contact Support: Our technical team can review the settings with you or help diagnose any issues.
Setting up your watch correctly is key to enjoying it to the fullest. We hope these tips are very helpful to you.
