Fenix 6s Battery drain fast

Former Member over 5 years ago

Hi, I have bought brand new Fenix 6s about 2 weeks ago. Today at the morning when I wake up my battery statistics was at 65%.After 2 hours I was ready to start the running workout and when I look the watch it was at 11%. It was about 50-55% difference.

I start my workout with gps and heart monitor to 'on' and battery goes to 1%. The watch worked for several hours after the end of the workout without shutting down the battery.

Is that wrong statistics or huge battery drain?

I am very dissapointing with that. Anyone knows why that happens and if I can fix that?

Sorry for my English

Regards

There are many factors to let the watch battery drain; To me, since you are new to the watch, I recommended you to check the link below for battery tips first; keep in mind if you use the third party watch face via IQ that let drain more than the Garmin default face. Try again, if it still happens the same after setting the battery saving tips, then you may need to reset the watch to default or call Garmin.

even if you have GPS and Music on.. you would still get 10 hours of battery life i.e. 10% per hour.. 50% in an hour is too much

I had not music or GPS on. I lost about 50% on standby
