Instinct 2 - max battery from 28 to 16 days

Hello

My instinct 2 has a full battery capacity of 28 days. Now, after the newest update, it only gives me 16 days for full battery when charged. No settings have changed (like ox pulse is still off).

What could be the problem?

Thx!

Most commonly it is just a decalibrated battery gauge (it often happens when the firmware updates with lower than the max battery level). Soft-reset the watch and go through the full charging cycle to see whether it helps.

Of course it can be also due to other issues - different options, CIQ apps, syncing problems, ...

I saw mine ticking from 35 to 34 % a few hours ago. Now it's at 21. That can't be right? Mine would go about 13-14 days until about 30+. It's been 10 days since last charge, but a software update a few days after last charge. I have not run any activities and barely touched the buttons since I noted the battery gauge and decided on charging it tomorrow.

I would hard reset the watch after a major update like this..

I left it for a while and tracked it. 1% per about 20 minutes. Then turned it off and on. After that it lost 1% the entire night. It's on the charger now.
