High Battery Drain on Version 19.05

Took my Venu 2 off charge (100%) at 20:00 last night and this morning at 07:00 it is already 84%.

If not, I highly RECOMMEND you TEST 19.05 version on Venu 2 model and you will see that terrible battery draining. SHAME ON YOU, GARMIN!!

I know ! The guy says : "Although the watch is no longer under warranty, our engineering teams are actively working on a corrective update that could permanently resolve this issue.

Same with me ! My Venu 2s shut off when battery level is around 20% with no battery low signal. Garmin support reactivity seems like my battery : very low ! Probably I won't buy anymore any Garmin product if they play with obsolecense ... Shame on Garmin

French support too.. but not the same answer... If there are many of us, maybe it will change, or maybe justice. What did you say ? Have you tried a hard reset, etc...
