Fenix 6x, battery drain 60% over night. Sleep tracking.

Hello,

I am new to the forum and the garmin watch family. My old watch was a casio. I was stuck for a long time betwen this watch and the new casio rangeman GPS watch. I got the 6x in the end.

so, I just got my watch 2 days ago. Don't have anything on that drains battery life fast. Not connected to phone, wifi off. The night before, there was little battery drain, maybe 1 %. Watch is updated with new firmware.

When I went to bed last night, my watch said I have 19 days left, and this morning it was 8. I do sleep tracking and wear the watch all night.

Anyone have any idea? This is crazy battery drain.

Thank you,

William

There are a lot of threads regarding battery drain that may or may not help. Type "battery drain" in the search box at the top of the Fenix 6 series forum.

Thanks, but I don't see anything from anyone with that huge amount of battery drain.

If nothing is relevant, consider contacting Garmin support (phone is best), as it may be hardware related.

any third party watch face you are using, some watch face might run at background

No third party watch face. Maybe the watch was trasmitting using GPS for sleep tracking due to wifi being off? Not sure, only a guess.

Did you start from a completely full charge?

Have you got Pulse Ox turned off?

GPS is only active in an activity.

I did start from a full charge, and Pulse Ox was changed to only active while sleeping.
