Same here.. after this mew update in the morning.. my battery is down from 100% to 68% within 9 hours... Bluetooth off, wifi off, pulse ox off.. keeping my usual settings as before.. when i used to ha…
I use 100% battery in 20 hours on a Fenix 6s pro which I’ve only had for 10 days. Was fine before update
HI, I have just had the same thing. Updated to latest release last night with watch charged 100% and this morning its down to 62% afte sitting on my desk all night, no wifi running, no bluetooth running…
congratulations!
It seems to have done the trick for me as well. Went for a 40 minute run when I still had 18hr left for activity. Once back home the counter is on 17h. Of course I can't see whether I used 0.6h or 1.49h, but it's a massive improvement to before the factory reset. Looks like it did the trick for me as well, despite putting all my settings and sports and other stuff back.
But now I have another issue: gps accuracy! I ran a known length track (used for race in past). I got a new record over 5k - on my phone. The watch was a huge distance off and the pace a staggering 0:3min/km slower! Why use a running watch for running, from a company known for their GPS if the GPS is just rubbish! This would be unacceptable for a race.
Thanks, going to try this and will advise if issues are resolved.
I will try logging a known course this evening as well to verify GPS accuracy (and battery usage).
Will report back.
Thanks for the info. I was hoping to avoid a hard reset and having to set everything up again but I guess I'll be giving it a try this weekend.
Followup.
23 hours since factory reset and 100% charge.
**** Fenix down ONLY 9% IN THAT TIME!!!
Again;
Sleep normal, monitor sleep etc.
Golf with GPS 6am.
Normal work day, steps, etc.
Walk GPS 8pm
Bluetooth on
GPS+Glonass
(No Pulse Ox)
All working so far and back to longevity.
Wiped mine yesterday (factory reset and hard reset) and upgraded to 16.70, reconfigured it with my usual watchface (SHN TxD) and widgets and non-exercise battery usage looks like it's back to normal, indicating 21d life expectancy. I haven't tried exercise yet. Will report back once I've had a chance to test activities back.
Looks promising so far.
Last update
47 hours since factory reset and 100% charge.
Numerous GPS activities as earlier stated.
Workouts tracking fitness, golf, walks, etc.
Fenix 6x only down 25% in two full days of activity.
Happy again.
Too bad we have to got to extremes. I guess our classy devices aren't any different than a computer. Sometimes we need to reset and reinstall.
Cheers everyone.
How do you do the hard reset?
Menu/System/Reset/DeleteData and ResetSettings
Unfortunately my watch is still having issues. 1hr walk had over 15% usage, and higher than normal battery consumption remains even after the activity was complete.
It dropped from 85% to 68% during the walk, and since then has dropped another 10% in the span of a few hours. Time to open a support ticket I guess.
