Hello, I have had my S4 for about 3 months. What I notice is that it does not charge when it is turned off. Does it need to be turned on to charge? Unfortunately, the battery life is relatively short.. max 6 hours during golf use. That's why I always turn it off right after a round.. It's not nice because then you have an inactive watch on your arm... When I connect it to the charger like this, it doesn't charge. Does it need to remain turned on to charge? Thanks in advance for the information. Best regards, Silvia Wenz
