A full charge takes a few hours, and I was able to use the Gear 2 fully connected for over three days before needing a recharge. It's annoying, but a lot better than the snap-on cradle the original Galaxy Gear used. Don't lose that dongle, though: and yes, it's a different-fitting dongle than the Gear Fit.
