Good morning,
I have recently received my Garmin venu 2 plus which I have enjoyed using over the past few days.
I had ordered an Apple Watch, but cancelled my order when I discovered this Watch online. As an active person I liked the health features offered and the battery life was a big influence in my decision.
having now used the Watch for a few days I find myself disappointed and perplexed. The battery life is draining almost completely every day. I am recording a walk or training session each day (not more than 45 mins) I have pulse ox switched off (I did use this during sleep the first night but switched off to extend battery) and my display is not set to always on. I haven’t used the Watch to answer or make a single call, haven’t used the voice assistance feature at all and I rarely look at notifications on the Watch.
at present I am using about 15% of the watches capabilities and am managing just over 24 hours to full charge. My first generation Samsung watch lasted far better than this and I used every available feature including checking messages and recording workouts.
is this a fixable issue? Is my Watch faulty? Or is the battery life unrealistic?
please help, at present the arrival of my new Watch is bitter sweet and I regret cancelling my apple order.
