Hi,
I honestly have no luck or I am just cursed !
Exchanged the Expedition that had the screen issues for the Athlete, out of the box I LOVE the Athlete! and definitely this is the one I should had gotten the first time. But, I am having battery issues :(
The watch out of the box had FW 3.40, as soon I put it on I installed just one widget called battery meter and it showed same battery consumption as the Expedition, 0.100 ~ 0.300 which is awesome and is what Garmin Advertise as 12 days in watch mode.
Around 7PM Saturday, connected the watch to the computer using Garmin express and I was asked to update FW to 3.50 and also update all maps and so I did and oh boy I REGRET DOING THAT! Now my battery right after the update it wont consume any less than 0.800~1500 an hour!!!!! My battery right now is at 50% in just 2 day of watch mode use!
My settings are the following
- Stock watch face
- Display bright at default 20% and only to activate with wrist move after sunset
- Pulse disabled completely
- Only the widgets that comes with the phone with the exemption of Battery Meter
- No alerts, No alarms, No Key Sounds, No Key Vibrations
- Wifi Off
- BT On paired with my iPhone
- Notification only for text and calls
- rest of the settings are stock, fhe way it came out of the box, sleep tracking on, steps and daily activity tracking.
I havent done any sport activity with this watch yet, all activities are doing using me Edge 1000.
As you can see I am using the watch just as a watch, no activities and no use at all and still the battery is dying extremely quick.
what I am planning to do next:
1- Wait for the watch battery to go to 1%
2- Hard reset
3- Charge to 100% and test again
If issue persist then it has to be the 3.50 update OR the maps update! The watch was FINE till the moment I did those updates :(
I have such a bad luck :(
see photo attached, also the reason why it says 28H on the photo is because I re installed the app
