Issues after updating to 17.00

After updating to version 17.00 I am experiencing the following issues:

  1. The count of the floors up and down is completely wrong: every day the device marks me more than 40, sometimes more than 100, when in fact I have only made 10-15
  2. The battery drains much faster: used to be 15-20 days now 10
  3. Charging in the sun does not last or the percentage of recharging is incorrect: after 8-10 hours in the sun without GPS or any activity, the watch shows me up to + 10% charge, but in the following hours it discharges very quickly , more than the normal USB cable charge.

My watch is only 9 months old so it can't be a deterioration of the battery also because before the update to version 17.00 everything was working fine.

Very disappointed.

Update 04/07/2022

Update after the factory reset and after a hike on Saturday: the altitude values have completely gone mad. I regularly calibrated the pressure and altitude at the start of the activity and set the barometer to elevation, but the altimeter continued to give the wrong values of +/- 100m, as I climbed he indicated that the altitude was decreasing and vice versa. At the end of the activity the indicated altitude difference was 1350m when in reality it was only 630m.
During the night at a stable altitude the altitude profile continued to oscillate by +/- 50m with the barometer set to auto.
Before updating to ver. 17 the altimeter was accurate.

  • many of us have problems after installing version 17, so it is very likely that it is a problem with the sw since everything worked fine before

  • Exactly same here. I use my altimeter quite often and after update 17 it’s completely useless. Barometer works fine but altimeter is completely wrong. Even if I will manually set altimeter to my house altitude which is 171 m above see level after couple of seconds altitude goes to 771m. I have tried everything and I can’t fix it no matter what I will do. 
    couple days ago I was MTB in local mountains and I have done 1250 m of elevation change and watch showed me 1950m. 

  • I am now on Ver 17.50 and still no altimeter fix. I have been reporting it everytime I have updated my watch. So obviously there will be no fix. Also noticed a higher battery drain. 

  • I have a similar issue - although mine is related to distance on software version 17.50.

    Whenever I go for a walk it measures the first mile, and then counts random distances as miles (each subsequent mile shows up as 3-4 miles in the app).

    It's also pretty insane with the altitude - a walk I did that was, two weeks ago, showing as about 100m variation in height, showed up as 5.7Km ...

    Sadly the only answers I've had are basically to replace the device. If you get something better, please let me know.
