After 15.0 update battery is terrible and now there's a huge lag to open a menu / settings from the 3'rd party watch face

After 15.0 update battery is terrible (6% in 3 hours) and now there's a huge lag to open a menu / settings from the 3'rd party watch face (Gearmin),

If I remember correctly, same issue was 1.5 years ago, now it's again here.

Is anyone seeing a major increase in the amount of activity calories the Fenix is now tracking after the 15.0 update? It seems like I’m over by a 1,000+ tracked activity calories above my normal.…

So it's about 7% in 16 hours, 0.5% / hour. Do you use 3rd party watchface?

Thanks

Tried to reinstall / install - don't see any improvements and still see lag of 1.5 sec to enter the menu.

Firmware 15.10. They have fixed the delay but the battery consumption is even worse...

Version 15 is terrible, battery drain is over 18% per day with no activities. The lag on menus has increased to over 700ms!! I am shocked at the lack of quality when it comes to testing a Garmin. I would love to see a battery profile versus processes for version 14 and version 15. Come on Garmin, up your game or hire an actual test and validation team.

Mine too, one hour outside walk with GPS will take more than 40% a day, before was 12%.

I'm sure our watches must have been made on the same day as I generally have similar issues to you with these updates!

My battery is great at the moment, but I'm burning a load of extra calories. Thankfully it's not something I track, so can just remove the widget and ignore it!

Hope the battery issues get fixed for everyone as it's so frustrating waiting for Garmin to fix issues!
