    What happens if you reboot the device again? Does it power up to 94% or does it further drop again?


    I'll try next time i will charge the watch....but i think it will stay at 94%

    New widget: Device usage


    Where did you see this "Device Usage" widget? I can't find it in the Connect APP and in the CIQ store.

    Thanks in advance!

    It's good to see that the battery meter may be improved and that they ported some features from the cellular vivoactive 3. I do look forward to seeing them activate the new Body Battery algorithms which debuted on the vivosmart 4, as it would make stress tracking way more insightful especially for people who train a lot.

    It also doesn't make sense for them not to enable this function from a product marketing point of view as this top of the line tracker should not have less features then a device that is 1/5th the price.

    Post activity battery drain is still here. Also I have noticed more battery consumption in watch mode. Yesterday I had 95%. I did a 1:20h running activity with music. Today the battery meter shows 65% and this is unacceptable.

    This will make me start to use the beta, I find it extremely annoying when it suddenly reboots in the middle of an activity...

    In watch only mode on 5+ I am at 36 hours for 12% drain so .33% per hour so if I do no activities at all then I should get about 12 days just as a smart watch

    Just an FYI, I'm on the 6.55 beta and had a crash yesterday while doing a running activity. The crash occurred right as an auto lap triggered a voice prompt for pace and heart rate zone. Seems to still be some issues with this. Oddly enough, I never had any crashes on 6.00.
