14.20 and Battery - looks promising.

ikim1967 over 5 years ago

So far 14.20 has been positive for me with the battery. Doing spot checks shows it back to .3 percent per hour and staying consistent.

Still 6% in 6 hours.

I can't believe it takes Garmin months to figure out the problem.

I even got a replacement a few days ago, when contacting the support regarding the problem.

With that performance…

Wiyjout any activity or GPS, only HR.

Not OK at all. Incredible.

Exactly the same as with everything turned on.

I tried every combination. Even hard reset and skipped coupling to the phone.

Always the same result, 1.3/h.

Yes, I can confirm. Normal behaviour.

Confirming. Having good experience again. Took awhile but thanks for fixing it Garmin!

Yes it improved by approx. 50%. I am now at 1.3%/h. Before the update 2.x%/h.

However, I would like to have the 0.2/0.3 seen in former times.

Mine is back to normal - have to say, it took them a while but kudos to Garmin for getting it fixed. I even got an email notifying me of the fix!

A little more communication early on - such as posting on here/social media that they were working on the problem - would have been appreciated.

Now... I'm disabling auto-update just in case...

The battery seems to be OK. Nice!

But the fw development is not on the top, that battery issues came back over time an new fws.

Fixing something and introduce a new bug. More test needed befor feresing a fw.

The .3 is with or without hr?

for me 14.20 is crap. i can't believe that garmin is not able to simply fix things without messing up other things.

i was one of the lucky people who did not have problems with battery drain. with fw 13.40 and 14.10 i had less than 5% per day battery drain (before it was about 6%) (using a CIQ watch face). now with 14.20 i have 8% per day.

Better than before, but seems not perfect
