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.

Almost everything the same. Move IQ - On. Don't know how it drains battery.

So today in 24 hours I have 12% drain - 0,5%/h only in watch mode. Not good.

In 24h lost 10% with 2 rides (total time 40m)

in the 2 rides it spends 4% (2% per ride)

Chest HR and GPS+GNSS

2 IQ fields

For me it's the same.

I think the problemm is the new sensor hub

Battery drain here as well. But what I do not understand, how is it possible, that some pieces do suffer from it and some don't ?

I have bought a refurbished S/N 536289x which has got the rusting pin issue. It was replaced by Garmin with another piece quickly, S/N 536332x and suddenly I have to deal with battery drain which I didn't even knew about before? How is that at all possible?

The watch came with 13.40 - drain. I have updated to 14.20, did a reset, still drain. Confusing and unacceptable. A watch that should hold 14 days can't even make with 3 days...

Garmin, please fix ASAP.

I deactivated the heart rate monitor. Now the battery works 3 days. With heart rate monitor the clock consumes 2-3% per hour. Hello Garmin, is that serious? I'm disappointed!

Try new 14.72 beta. I installed yesterday and looks good so far. You have nothing to lose. In worst case you can downgrade to 13.40 which is considered as quite good one as for battery.
