[BAND] When and how long do you charge up?

[mikepalma]

It seems like Band now does good job for sleep detection. And great for during the day stuff! When are you charging your Band? And for how long?

 

[ealkalai]

Usually 30 to 45 minutes every morning

 

[bksalt]

When ever Im at my computer no sense in wearing it siting typing

 

[bockersjv]

An hour a day is all I seem to need and that is with a few hours GPS usage.

 

[Nate Silver]

When I check email, shower and get breakfast in the morning. Hour, hour and a half.

 

[DroidUser42]

I charge it when I wake up, do my morning "pass" at the social media and shower and dress.

I'll have to look and see if it's affecting my sleep monitoring, since I take it off within a few minutes of waking up.

Showering and doing homework, sitting in class. It makes a nice desk clock. Lol

 

[EMitchell]

Usually in the evenings, during dinner, checking social media stuff. Or if I get a low-battery warning. I don't think these LiB's like being run down to almost nothing, they perform better when kept mostly charged, so I try to keep the charge level at 50% or higher.

 

[jlangner]

I usually charge to 80% at night while watching TV since only takes about 30 minutes and that gets me thru next day with a run.

 

[TwoClipz]

I used to charge it in the mornings while I was getting ready for work, but now I just charge it while driving to work every morning 30-40mins.

 

[07outback]

I charge it as soon as I wake in the morning. Turn off sleep, put it on the charger, then go checkup up on my mail, shower, and dress then pit the band back on. About 20-30 min in all.

 

[Penecho]

I usualy charge mine in the evening, when I'm in front of my TV. And I usually wait until the charge is somewhat in between 5% - 30% (every 3-4 days or so)

 

[bockersjv]

It is always best to charge daily and not let the battery discharge beyond 40% if you want the best battery life.

I find a 30min daily charge adequate unless I have done a long GPS session in which case I'll try and find another 60min session.

Same, but about 45 mins. Wear it all day, clock mode enabled.

Same, but about 45 mins. Wear it all day, clock mode enabled.

How does the battery hold up in clock mode?

 

[DroidUser42]

I put it on charge a few minutes after waking up in the morning. It charges during my morning routine - about an hour to an hour and a half.

 

[kdk24z]

I charge mine when I get home from work and take a shower or when I'm using the w,a,s,d keys on my laptop. ;-)

How does the battery hold up in clock mode?

Sorry, haven't been on here in ages. With clock mode enabled I still get around 2 days wear. Dunno if the answer is still relevant with Band 2 out.
