BATTERY LIFE REDUCED

Sad. I have a similar issue with my Venu2 and now I'm considering buying a different watch brand. They just broke Venu2 after released 19.05SW.

Having the same problems here with my Venu 3 after the last update(s). Sometimes thre is no battery drain and battery holds for days and sometimes (yesterday), my watch lost >50% battery. I am currently on 12.12

In reading through the thread it appears to be a mix of resolved and unresolved for a change in battery life. If you are still experiencing shorter battery time please let me know and I will follow up with you via Private Message with some additional questions.

Hi Former Member, yes, I am still having these issues from time to time ... not every day. Please let me know what information you need. Thanks

I have just reset my phone because of this issue again, hoping to solve it temporarily, as it sometimes does. I experience this since the purchase. I don't know what triggers it, because I don't change any settings.

Yes, battery life has been cut in half on my Venu 3,(from 15 Days down to 7 to 8 days), with zero user setting changes :-(  I even reduced the display brightness down to 30 in an effort to re-gain some battery life, but that had zero.effect.  

Does Garmin even employ Testers anymore, (a.k.a. Quality Assurance / QA), or, like too many other companies, has Garmin eliminated almost all of your Testers in order to "save a buck"; thereby turning your customers into your Testers?   These watches are far from inexpensive, and Garmin is a huge company, how about doing a better job testing  these updates BEFORE releasing them?  That sure would make your customers happier.

Hi Former Member, having the same issue on my wife's Venu3. She has version 12.12 installed. And she only gets 3-4 days of battery life.

for me, a full reset with data delete has helped a lot.

Hi Former Member  My wife has the same problem. Around 40% battery loss a day.
