Battery issues after update 19.20

@JuanPedro1975 nope, cause i never use oximeter, is useless. Still have drain problems and i have used all reset and bla bla methods.

i had this problem for months after version 16.77 ! until 18 series. i connected whit company several times and they could not solve problem. even they told me i should send my watch  for them plus 200$ to get refurbish one!!!  the issue have solved automatically after 18 series update. 

My watch updated to 20.00 it's now at 90% after 1 day. no activiies. Normal use, althought Pulse OX is for sleep only. If battery still sucks. I have to go over to the 20.00 topic...

Hope we all get a good fw release soon!

I charged my F6S Pro to 100% yesterday, late morning, at which point it was discharging at a rate of about 0.5% per hour. This morning I was shocked to see it was down to 26%, with no activities during that period, and discharging at a rate of 5% per hour. No changes to apps/software to account for this. Charging now and will do a restart to try to fix.

Fairly graphic example of the drain in just over 2 days from full charge - 100% Thursday to 64% Saturday. Both devices have been worn at all times, and used for same GPS activities.

I have a Fenix 6X Sapphire that's just 1.5 years old and I have 2 questions for everyone that has a Fenix 6X Pro/Sapphire:

1. What was your best battery life in days or %/days drain, when using the watch minimally (as a digital clock - with maybe just notifications on)? Mine was 18 days with firmware 9.00 that was on the watch when I got (or about 5.5% /day drain)

2. What's your current battery life (%/day) with minimal usage, after 1-2 years? Mine is now at 20.00 beta and draining 10-11%/day (just as digital clock + notifications), after 1.5 years. Or what was the battery life just before the 19.20 battery drain issue (with any usage pattern).

Please mention your watch age!

Note: After any firmware update, I fully reset the watch (delete all data), charge to 100%, then wear as a digital watch to note down/measure battery life. I'm asking the above 2 questions to understand if my 10% battery drain/day is normal (with only notifications on, and I do get 20-50 per day). I've noticed some degradation in battery life after each fw update (in the full drain days I mentioned), but it was never drastic until 19.20.

Thank you in advance for your answers, I'm sure everyone would appreciate them!

My F6X Pro Solar is 2 years old, and it went for over a week even with 3 30-50 min runs a week. I might had pulse ox completely off. Now I got 20.00 and it is ridiculous. Same as with 19.20... normal wear, phone bluetooth off, same watch face I have been using for over a year now, no activities and it drains 25-30% or more a day.

I stopped using the watch altogether....

My Fenix 6x sapphire was only supplied to me by Garmin about 2 months ago, warranty replacement - since 19.20 about 25% daily drain, no activities needed, just wearing.  

It shipped from Garmin with earlier firmware - about 12 days life before that, now about 4 days.  Usage depends, but maybe 7 hours GPS a week is typical week.

I do not think I do anything strange with the watch, I use built in watchface

KenMar said:

apps/widgets still running that deplete the battery.

I don't think it's possible to run any apps or widgets from the watchface? 

If somehow they are still running, this would be a bug, as they should be sandboxed. That's ion Garmin to fix (if indeed somehow these things do run when they are not supposed to)

This sounds more like a plug for an ugly watchface than a genuine post.
