Venu 2/2s Battery Drain After sw 9.17

I updated to 9.17 2 days ago.  Yesterday I got sensor updated.  I charged to 100% at aroun1:45 PM.   Rebooted.   It's 7am now - so approx 17 hours later and I'm at 74% battery.  I'd say that's unacceptable battery drain. Certainly not getting better, possibly getting worse.  I have the 2S.

    For me, it's even worse now. I could get 4 days (5 by a miracle) before the update and now it's solid 3 days. If it drops even more then I wonder why anyone will even bother with garmin at all...

    6 days is good.  How many days do you expect?

    I expect 10 days as per the specs. I'm using a 99% default configuration and my usage is significantly below the table supplied here by (e.g. notifications off, close to zero interactions, etc.). Do you find it acceptable that a lower usage than the specified one results in 40% less battery life than in the specs? If anything, I would expect more than 10 in this scenario.

    I fully agree with you talsela.

    I have been in contact with Garmin support and they are willing to replace the watch. But since I’m training for a long run on October, I’ll do that after.

    Somehow I have the idea that I’ve got a watch with a battery that belongs to another type of Garmin watch with lower battery life.It would be good if we could somehow check the capacity.

    Yeah, at this point, you might wanna have them replace your watch. A wonky battery is a dealbreaker.
