You are really lucky. I bought my watch last year and it lasted 10 days at the beginning. With every update it got less. Now I'm also at about 1.5 days. With the last version it was 2.5 days. And it's not because of the battery, because I've always noticed a shorter time after an update. My wife has a Pixel watch and it initially lasted a maximum of 1 day (most functions were switched off) and now she has all functions switched on and only has to charge it again after 2-3 days. This shows that Google knows how to improve the software. The battery drain problem with Garmin is certainly that there is one software for many watches and these are not 100% compatible (different technology, different chips etc.) and this results in higher power consumption. I would like to give hope, but I have now gone through all the suggested solutions from the forum and none of them have helped. The only thing that would help is another watch that is not from Garmin. In my opinion, the problem is not really taken seriously here, as it does not affect Garmin. Garmin still has too good a reputation for that. I now advise anyone who is considering buying a Garmin watch not to do so. I was able to save some people from doing so, others, like me, regret having bought a Garmin. The watch itself is great, but the battery problem is a knockout criterion.
Thank you; I’ve tried disconnecting and reconnecting and that didn’t work, but didn’t think to try factory reset. Tried it this morning so fingers crossed it will work
