Fenix 8 Amoled 47mm - Battery Drain

Hi. Have you connected a bluetooth device to your watch? Like a hr strap from coros or headphones?

Yes, I have Garmin HRM and Stryd Power Foot Pod.

try a hard reset. hold down the left upper button for 1 minute and then turn on the watch normally.

Fenix 8 47 amoled here, v11.89, AOD OFF, gesture on, oxymeter on demand, temporisation 8 seconds, 45 mins sport per day, no music, default watch face, loosing 30%/day since last « update » vs max 10% before. Lost the favourite activities since last update also.

Worst Garmin experience so far, so I turned from an advocate to a detractor since I got the watch considering the absolute bullsh*t Garmin is putting us through.

considering the time I spent setting up my activities / screens / pairings / Garmin pay / etc factory reset is OUT OF THE QUESTION.

As autonomy announced is marketing material I will request a full refund if not fixed for good very soon.

I agree with you.  I paid 1100 dollars for this experience which is BS.  I came from a Amazfit watch and although not perfect it was a more seamless experience then what I am getting with the Fenix 8 at 1/4 the cost too.

Hello, I am also still having this problem with my Garmin Fenix 8 47m

That's great Laurie :-). Im just wondering if the problem can be caused because we connect bluetooth devices to the F8. Like a HR monitor etc. Hope you fix it soon :-)

Hello, Laurie, I confirm the massive battery drain: in just 2 days, with watch-only mode, the battery drained from 100% to 30%.". I hope for a fix soon..

Hi Laurie - I updated to the latest version (11.89) but continue to have the issue. Ca. 20% of battery goes in a day, if I do an activity, it drains even faster… Is there another fix underway, please? Thank you. Christian
