Android Wear smartwatches like the Gear Live and G Watch are quite useful, but a constantly on LCD or AMOLED display ensures that you’ll only get a day or two of battery life. Thankfully, their tiny internal capacities mean that you can fully recharge them quickly if you have a power source. When you don’t have a PC or wall socket nearby, then your phone is often the best bet for a quick fill-up. Using a Samsung Power Sharing Cable, it’s possible to connect directly from your phone to your watch, allowing the phone’s larger battery to refill the watch’s smaller one. With a 3000mAh battery standard on some phones, you could recharge a Gear Live’s 300mAh battery fully while only losing 10% of your phone’s power.
The same principle applies to charging other Bluetooth accessories from your phone too, from Bluetooth headsets to fitness trackers. If you’ve got a tablet on hand, you can even use its even bigger battery (typically 5000mAh or more) to charge your phone as well. One phone can even charge another, so if you’re running low and a mate is nearly full, you can transfer charge from one to the other so you both have enough juice to last the day.
