What Causes the Fast Battery Drain on the Gear Smart Watches? Connection Alerts: In some cases, the Connection Alerts option under the settings can cause a huge drain on the battery due to high resource usage for the setting with no actual functionality. Therefore, it is recommended to turn the feature off.
