I seeeee :o) thanks ;o)

Did you record the cycling with the watch? If so can you see the map in the history? If so, try to start app cycling - menu - navigation - activities. Can you choose it now? 

To all who have battery problems, add the device usage widget to see what drains the battery. (It’s in every beta) Culex42

Yes, with fenix5, at least one after the last factory reset. There are more in the history.

No, no maps in the History included (the other last ones from the history do not show a map either) - this is interesting, I have to check that with another test activity, will do some walking.

Tried it anyway, the same result.

But, let me tell you: If I go Apps - Navigate - Saved Location, I get a screen telling me No Saved Location. I'd expect something similar if there are no Activities to navigate. But screen loop IMHO is not how it's supposed to be.

I have done that but unfortunately I'm not wiser. To me it tells nothing. Nothing I can blame or does it?

BTW, with these stats the battery is currently 47%.

that sound's strange. if there are no maps, maybe the normal does not have this view. otherwise, if i have not maps, i know, that there is only the values from physio true up on the watch. tryed to save a new location? if it is saved to the watch?

In observing the increased battery consumption I tested several scenarios, never disabling HR since that is important to me, and nothing was saving battery. One day after doing the last beta install, my watch did not reconnect to the phone but I was initially unaware. I kept observing that it had remained at 100% for an unusually long time and wondered if the update had improved battery life. I later realized that the watch was not connected to the phone. As soon as I reconnected, the now normal batter drain resumed. I think the biggest new drain on the battery is simply the connection to the phone and possibly the amount of data being transferred or just the power cost of the connection. It is not bad enough for me (1 week of battery life) to disconnect from the phone but my current theory is the watch/phone connection is the culprit.  

11:00 45% (Settings - Phone Off)
14:00 41% (3h, 4%) 1,3%~h > 4,5x

Not there...

Interesting. Very different for me. 
10:50 pm - 96.5% (Phone disconnected)
5:50 am - 95.9% (7h, 0.4%) 0.57% per hour

Now that was OHR on during sleep. I will try again during the day

ok, sounds really like a defective battery "in my opinion" have my watch now running 4 days, 22 hours witch 2 hours GPS. everything allways on, (notifications, OHR, ...) and still have exactly 50% battery left right now. 

i think, i don't have to ask, if you are using the stock watch face? or have tryed  to reset it. (think you allready wrote that).
