Hi,
Yesterday's morning 100%, worn at work, no GPS, no audio, nothing.
In the evening 88% - this morning 65% WTF ????????????????????
everyday this same !!!
Garmin - wha you still sleep and don't do nothing ???
Everyone, we are wanting to look into these reports of battery drain after 7.10 software updates. If you are experiencing this, and are on software 7.10, could you please contact Product Support via Chat…
doesn't matter, because before 7.10 everything was OK.
This is 7.10 firmware fault.
I looking for help buth what will you help here? watch in daily use lost 35% for 24 hours. it was weak with a battery, but never quite like that. And this is how it has been since I have 7.10
I just got a brand new 5+ and I'm on 7.1 version but the battery life is very bad. In fact it discharges 7 times faster then my old Fenix 5 which I also have here. with the same usage patterns and same features turned on I get 40+ days on a single charge. 5+ I don't even get the advertised 12 days I only get 8. Did you guys return your watches or got used to quick discharge?
Hi,
Garmin exchanged F5plus for a new _refurbrished_ thank you. for a few days I tried different Firmware from 6.0 -6.57 to beta 7.52 Without any difference. 50% daily only in "smartwach" mode without listening to music, without anything. Garmin watchface.
50 min running, 40% disaster batteries disappear. Today I'm calling garmin again.
in two weeks I have a mountain marathon, how much battery will I need? to warm up?

It would be interesting to see how many issues the update itself produces. My first watch was draining at 1%/hour rate (with 10 restarts and 6.0,7.1 and 7.52 FW), second one went 13 days with four 45min activities which is impressive.
During SW upgrade of the first unit I had some weird issues (like find my phone shown 3 times on controls screen). Also updated maps. On the second one I just deleted "garmin" maps and used topo (update was from 3.2 to 7.1).
In conclusion, I think I am not going to update from 7.10 ever. Only if Garmin adds some nice new features. DO ASK for new unit over and over until you get one with normal battery life.
