v9.37: Fast Battery Drain

I had the phenomenon that the red LED kept lighting up, even though I never activated PulseOx. It was also deactivated in the settings. But it still kept lighting up, and the graph for the daily measurement was also present. OBVIOUSLY disabled in the settings.
The above procedure solved the problem.

Installed 9.37 yesterday. Now battery drain is absolutely not acceptable. Within 20 hours 23% drain. No action or sports done in the last 20 hours, just worn the watch as usual with HR active.

Garmin, fix this please!!

Did you check if the red LED for pulse Ox measurement is on when you lift the watch slightly from the wrist ?

Yes it is on, guess 95% of the time, then it stops short and starts to measure again. I read something of deactive Pulse OX and Reboot, but what i read was to activate it, the deactivate and the Reboot. But usually use this function all the time so I´ll try to deactivate it, the reboot and activate it again.

Just an update for me, battery drain has improved from 12%/24 hours to 10%/24 hours.  This is just in watch mode without an excercising.

Hello, how do you disable strava segments ? Do I need to unsign with strava ?

Garmin Connect app → top left burger menu → Training & Planning → Segments → top right three dot menu → switch to Garmin Segments

Well, my batter "improved" from 6%/day to 7%/day with my regular usage, about hour of biking with GPS and about hour of running or strength without GPS per day. Since I have F7, it was about 6%/day battery drain.

On my Tactix 7 Pro, battery life was never great. Still around 5...6%/day in smartwatch mode (no gps activity, no pulse ox).

I never got more then max 20d out of it

I didn't have problems with PulseOX lighting up by itself, but I tried your suggestion to see if there were any impact on battery life in my case. I didn't see any effect happening, but I'll see if there is any after I charge my watch.
