Watch Battery

Hello,

I've noticed over the past few weeks my battery life has been depleting faster than usual. It went from 5 to 6 days to 2 to 3 days. Can you please provide me with some assistance.

Respectfully,

Markanthony McKenzie

Which software version is on the watch? From the watch face, hold the Back/Menu button, then select System > About.

Thanks for the info. I've moved this thread to the Venu Sq 2 forum.

Okay, thank you. I charged it lastnight. So, it had a full charge this morning. Now it's down to 15%

Assuming you've already tried this - Tips to Extend the Battery Life on a Garmin Fitness Watch ? I've seen reports of users on the latest firmware which can cause excessive battery drain. I suggest restarting the watch. Then if still a problem, contact Garmin Support directly via phone or chat.

I just noticed the same issue. I installed 2.53 last week, and then charged my Venu SQ 2 last night. It was down to 95% when I went to bed, and this afternoon it is down to 62%. I just did a reset to default settings. Hopefully that helps. If not, then there is a problem with 2.53.

Edit - Battery only dropped to 57% overnight. Maybe the reset helped?

After updated to 2.53 mine Sq 2 Music is turning off in the exactly moment that I remove from charge. Can I downgrade or something?
