Tactix 7 Pro Drains batteries !

Hello, I noticed terrible battery consumption after the 15.77 update! I charged tactix 7 pro on Monday, today is Wednesday and it is 50% for 14 days! ? What's up ? I only have bluetoth turned on! This is not my first Garmin, I already had F3HR, F5X, F6Pro, F7X and now Tactix7 Pro! I won't mention my wife's watches ;-) I didn't have any problems with any of the watches, except for the F3HR, but they replaced it. But eating up the battery in tactix is a joke!?

I decided to reboot, after the reboot all the sensors stopped working. (pulse, compass, etc.)

That sounds like the SNS firmware is corrupted. Possibly due to a forced reboot during a firmware…

after your comment, I remembered about the developer menu, it helped :)

No such problem with either my tactix 7 Standard or tactic 7 AMOLED.

What did Garmin Support say when you called them and asked them about your problem?

Same thing for me on my Tactix 7 Pro. Losing about 25% a day. I thought it was a third party watch face I had just added, but I uninstalled that and all my other third party faces to no avail.

I have exactly the same problem as you, BT and WiFi enabled, faulty battery series?

I'll try and if it doesn't help I'll complain ! This is my sixth Garmin, not counting navigation and my wife's watches

I haven't called yet, I don't want to send a good watch to complain and get a refurb

same problem. I decided to reboot, after the reboot all the sensors stopped working. (pulse, compass, etc.)
Subsequent reboots and attempts to revive those found on the Internet do not help.

That sounds like the SNS firmware is corrupted. Possibly due to a forced reboot during a firmware update. You will have to reach out to the product support at https://support.garmin.com

Connected via cable after a slight reset, synchronization, charged to 100% with a longer hold for charging. Today it shows 31 days as it should, we'll see what it shows tomorrow
