I have Fenix 5 Sapphire almost a year. Since 19.10 (I’m on 20.00) I noticed decrease in battery performance. I used to have ~5% per day with no activity. 5%/Hr with GPS. Smartphone mode is off. No third party.
I noticed the following:
Until the battery level reaches to ~ 45% it meets expectations (~5% per day). Below that point the battery drains 3 time fasters! For example, from 100% to 60% I had 0.2% per hour. From 45% to 29% in 25 Hours! – this is 0.6% per hour. All conditions were the same. I noticed this phenomenon over more than 5 charging cycles.
Garmin suggested to replace the watch but I’m not sure it is not a software issue.
Did anyone have a similar issue? Any help will be most appreciated!
Thanks
