Approach S62 Battery Life

Alan 2 days ago

I've recently purchased the Approach S62 watch and have found that I'm having to charge it every day. I've tried turning off activity mode, phone connection and heart rate monitor and this still seems to drain the battery. The battery life claims to last 14 days in smart watch mode, but not sure if I'm missing any other settings to get this kind of battery life.

Any suggestions much appreciated.

What do you have your backlight settings set at - timeout, gestures, brightness, toggle switch? Also which watch face?

All of these can have an impact on battery life.

I've got gestures set to off, timeout set to short and brightness set to 50%. I'm just using one of the standard watch faces. Not sure there's much else left to turn off now and the battery still doesn't last a full day.

I have my brightness at 20% with rest same as yours. I full charged 48hrs ago, played 18 Holes yesterday with score keeping, synced back to my phone after the round and right now my watch shows 69% charge left.

You might have a bad watch - suggest you get in touch with Garmin Support.

I charged mine to 100% at lunch today and it's already down to 80% without doing anything. I've been in touch with garmin support and they're going to exchange it for a new one, thanks for your help!
