I think it's fine to create an artificial battery benchmark to compare watches, but unless that is representative of actual use, it shouldn't be used as the "real battery life" or anything.
- rtkwe 12y agoThey say as much right in the article. They know their test is artificial and is only useful as a comparison between the devices. > The test sends a Google Hangouts message to the watch every 15 seconds, and uses ADB over Bluetooth to turn the screen on every 15 seconds. It's a fairly heavy usage example, but it allows us to compare battery life across Android Wear devices with a fair amount of scientific rigor.
- smackfu 12y agoExactly. I just worry that 219 minutes will get bandied about as "what Ars got for the battery life."
