After upgrade to 20.00 I see usage about 12% for 16 hours.
It's higher than on 19.10 version.

If you watch shows 3.30(!) when going to Settings > About, please use Garmin Express to update it to version 3.40.
If you continue to have issues after going to Display v3.40, reset…

We are currently looking into a reports of abnormal battery drain and/or 3-7 second delays between button presses and moving in the menus.
On your Fenix 5X/Tactix Charlie, when you go…
I see about 22% in 24h without any activity.
What version of Display you have on your watch?
I had 3.30 with exclamation mark (!), so upgraded to 3.40 from the 20.00 beta firmware and the watch feel snappier (when entering a menu etc). Hopefully it would have positive impact on battery, too, will need to monitor for at least a day.
Well, I'm not installing BETA things, so if Garmin released 20.0 without display 3.30 then I don't need to install it, as it's not official release, but BETA.
Same problem 100% to 55% in a little over 24 hours! It's the last update that has screwed with battery life, hopefully it will be fixed soon as I have better things to do than charge a $700 watch every couple days!!
same here. -45% in 24hrs without any activities.
no additional widgets, supersimple watchface
I switched from my Connect IQ Watchface (Crystal) to a default Garmin Watchface and this solved the battery drain. So my conclusion is that the problem comes from the connect iq framework. Until there is a fix i will use Garmins stock watchfaces.
In the following post is commented that the upgrade of the display module is possible. In my case, I upgrade this part and the delay has dissapeared and the battery drains improves a little
There is the pos if can help https://forums.garmin.com/outdoor-recreation/outdoor-recreation/f/fenix-5-series/230913/firmware-20-0-delay-after-pressing-menu-buttons
Hi,
Have I understood this correctly?
Upgrading to 20.00 does not automatically update display to v340 instead remaining on v330?
I'm confused.
Tks,

On your Fenix 5X/Tactix Charlie, when you go to Settings > About on your watch - reports are seeing Display 3.30(!) after having updated the watch software to version 20.00.
Please check your Display version. If you still see 3.30(!), use Garmin Express to update it to 3.40.
If you continue to have either issue after going to Display v3.40, if you are willing to provide additional information that our engineers will be using to help resolve the issue quicker, please send me a Private Message with the note of which of the 2 issues you continue to experience - Battery Drain and/or Menu Delays.
Thank you!
My 5x is on normal 20.00 and in About it shows Display 3.30 (!). And there’s a definite delay that wasn’t there on 19.10.
Display: 3.30 (!)
