After installing a watchface and a companion app (M2 and M2 designer) for it it started to drain battery. I have uninstalled them, I did soft reset but the battery drains a lot more than before. What I should do? Is there a factory reset that wipes everything…
After updating to 15.11 I did a soft reset and it went fine for one day.
Today the battery drained around 50 % in a few hours. No activity and same settings as before.
Can the watch be reset to original software settings from few years ago? Seems everyone staying the battery drain started only after most recent updates?
few days with my replacement (Venu2, original July 2022), and still having battery drain issue.
The problem of rapid battery drain in Aviators is already well documented
I have never seen this problem with my Aviator...
I had the same problem with 13.21, 10-12% battery draind per day. Last night I upgraded to 13.22 and only %8 battery drained in 24 hours. 13.22 looks more stable than the previous 13.21.
Yah I think battery is draining at faster rate with 18.26.
I'm used to battery drains even on my Pixel phones. So a drain on Garmin watches is tolerable to me. lol
Of course you are right and many people get frustrated about this behaviour for a watch that is far from cheap. You would expect that everithing works. Just to be clear, what I did was: system/reset/delete data and reset settings. Restart and restore…
Reason for joining the beta program was the battery drain out of any specs.
Unfortunately there are no notable improvements on the battery drain as mentioned:

same for me. The battery drains a lot faster with SW version 13.21
