Battery life with 21v

Former Member over 4 years ago

Since I upgraded my garmin fenix 5 to the latest version v21, my battery life is much shorter. Without doing any activity, just using my watch to check the time at home, it consumes me almost 20% a day. I used to have a much longer battery life. I tried resetting my mobile phone by leaving the light button pressed but the same thing keeps happening to me.

Please, Garmin, fix this error. Is there a way to go back to previous versions?

As I've posted EVERY, single time after a Fenix 5 software update - battery life is ALWAYS negatively impacted! You would figure as much as we've paid for these devices, and the feedback they receive every time a new software update rolls out - they would listen. Not to difficult for developers to understand this always a problem and rectify it during a beta release. My suggestion would be - don't update until at least a month or two after the software rolls out - they seem to have it figured out by then...most of the time.
