Battery Life

EAS 4 days ago

Hi, we just set up the Bounce 2 for my daughter, along with the LTE plan. She turned it on at around 7am (charged to 90%) and by 12pm the battery was down to about 32%. Is this all due to tracking? Maybe i've been messing around with it on the app too much? Anyone else have a similar issue and, if so, how do we fix it? Given the quality and awesome battery life of other Garmin products we have, this is surprising and i must be doing something wrong! thank you!!

Assuming the watch is within range of known wi-fi networks, like home or school, you could add those using the Garmin Jr. app to reduce LTE usage indoors.

There are other potential reasons for poor battery life, but I'd start with that.

Unfortunately, no wifi in school!

Hello!

I know it is a difficult ask, but would it be possible for your daughter to check her watch every now and then at school and see if how many bars the watch shows for the LTE signal? If the watch is continually searching for a LTE connection and can't find one, it will consume the battery quickly.

Yes, i'll ask her to check on it. The weirdest thing is that today, after a full day of school, battery is at 82% and she said she used it a lot today so now we are just totally confused (we didnt change any settings that i'm aware of!!) thanks for your suggestion!!
