Battery suddenly drained

I hope someone can help as this has happened a few times to me - I’ve got a Garmin Instinct Solar surf, in the day the battery said it has 17 days left, went to bed (I have the watch set so it stops tracking after 9pm & starts at 5.30am) and it said I had like 40 days.
Woke this am and the battery has gone and watch is off.
Any help would be much appreciated as I’ve asked Garmin a few times and not got much help.

why offer running? Cycling etc if for ‘adventure’ read the post!!!

Why not, it if does not require more expensive or more power hungry hardware?

Sorry, when was I offered a replacement?? Or you work for them and offering me one??
I went through all settings in online chat. Had the watch a year. Got offered a ‘refurbished’ one IF I paid a deposit for the watch to get one. Of course I get it back BUT I don’t have extra £300 to pay deposit!!! But guess that’s my fault too!! Many better customer services out there, that’s for sure!!

Because then it’s advertising as a ‘fitness’ watch unless track running & treadmill running is ‘adventure’ to you.

You wrote it yourself, you do not want any replacement:

Tbf when contacting Garmin I am still waiting fir a response which isn’t me paying to send a defected watch back and only get a refurbished watch in return.

I said refurbished!!!!!! Read the words!! I got my watch REPLACED NEW then yes. why would I want someone else’s watch that got sent back because it was broke then repaired???? Expect more after just having the watch a year and paying £300!!!
