Watch turn off venu 2

My venu 2 turns off at 20% and I have recharge it

more than usual, this seems to be happening in the last couple of months

Same for all of us on this forum. Garmin don't give a *** about that, so run to store and replace if you have warranty and never buy garmin again. Good luck!

Fit bit was bad enough, but with the cost of these watches I expected better but garmin are as bad

Same here. After the update release in June, 23-ish was the new zero for my battery. Now, after the latest update, 40 is the new zero. I need to recharge the watch twice a day. What a joke!

At least you have a watch that sort of works. I had the same issue with the watch turning off at 40% battery. Over the next few days this got woirse and now it turns off at 100%. Plug into the charger and it shows 100% charge. Disconnect the charger and it turns off within 2 minutes.

I've tried all the usual steps, soft reset, hard reset. Also upadted the sofware which seemed a waste of time since a software update caused the issue.

Now I'm just going to use my 25 year old Seiko watch and the Garmin garbage is in the bin. Never again will I buy or recommend Garmin or buy 'smart' anything. The only thing smart gadgets seem to do is fail just outside warranty.
