Anyone with Venu 3S - How long is your battery life ?

Hi to everyone.

My wifes Venu 3S is lasting max of 5 days if run to 0%.
so normally charged around 20% it will be max 4 days.

This is in smartwatch mode only and no activities.

Could any other 3S owner chime in and tell me if 10 days advertised is true or not ? I have contacted garmin and I’m about to post it back for repair or we will be pushing for refund if that’s not the case?

AOD is OFF

Brightness is set to Auto and Minimum

Screen timeout is Short

Pulse OX on demand only

Redshift and do not disturb at night

No notifications on watch other than calls

No activities at all consume 20% per day of battery

with short walk activity it’s 25%

Advertised as 10 days battery in smartwatch mode with AOD off

anyone can chime in and give me his stats ?

many thanks

It must have been the night time watch face. Maybe during sleep it was turning on inadvertently for a long time. I checked mine and it's set to "sleep" during sleep,

Yes most unnecessary drain was from night time where I couldn’t understand why I’m not using it and loosing 10% juice ‍♂️

You mentioned the sleep schedule. One thing I noticed about the sleep time settings that tricked me is that when you specify 22:00 and 6:00 for example, That is the time for that day. I assumed 22:00 was for tonight, and 6:00 is for tomorrow morning. It's not. It's 6am today and 10pm tonight.

I charged mine to 100%, and with everything "on", it lasted a little more than 10 days.

Mine at first used to last about a week, then steadily declined to the current state of things, which is max. 2 days. After complaining about it previously, I was contacted by Garmin-Tracy, but she dropped contact after my replies. It looks like Garmin support really sucks.
