My Instinct 2 Solar's battery is draining at an alarming rate. It seems that the battery is dying.
I have done a few hard resets (erased all data) followed by turning on the battery saver mode. Watch shows 65d of battery life. However, I am losing the battery is 3 days of battery per hour.
In short, 65days of battery life will be used up in about a day.
In terms of settings, I have double checked VO2 , backlight and other energy draining setting I can think, to minimise battery drainage. Nothing works.
I only had the watch for 1 year and a month. Does not charge my watch often - mostly about once every 25 days. Why is the battery almost dying with just less than 15 charge cycles?
This is really ridiculous!
My software version is 11.18.
I was told by Garmin's customer support to send my watch in for repairs. I hope that the repairs will not cost me a bomb. Otherwise, I will not buy Garmin anymore.
I bought this Garmin watch because of its ability to integrate with my bicycle's Garmin sensors.
I hope that my good impression on Garmin will not be ruined because of this.
