Its battery life is good company claims that it will give 2 week of battery life but I am receiving 20 days battery life which is far superior that 30000 Samsung smart watches( seriously I don’t get point where everyday I have to charge my watch also, I like life to be more simpler and easier where less device needed regular charging) but it has inferior battery life that Mi band 1 which gives 46 days battery life. its so good that I lost my charger almost after every charge.
