Battery less than 24 hours

Dear Community,

Since yesterday i've got my Vivoactive 4s. Today at 11am i've charged it 100%. Now, at 4pm Battery Level is 55%. Just in Smartwatch mode
SPO2 is off. Wlan, Musik never used. 
Whats up? 
Are there someone else with this Problem?

    Do every update suggested. Battery drain stopped for me after doing the app-updates through the "ConnectIQ Store" App on my phone. 

    Spotify was one of them...

    Second Try:

    Charged it 100% at 7:45 PM. Wlan, Musik, Oximeter not used. Dont wear that Clock, just on the Table over night.
    This morning: 7:03 AM - 24% Battery....

    No way, it goes back

    This is happening to me too. I just received my 4s yesterday. Charged it to 100% at around 1800 last night, when i went to bed at 2200 it was 87%, and I thought that it was because it was new, I had just paired it with my phone, was syncing alot, updating, tried a breathwork activity etc.  Next day at 0500 the battery was 11%. I turned off the always on display, and at 0730 today it was 95%, and it is 0900 and it 89%. At this rate, with no other use other than it being on my wrist, the battery will be completely drained in 67 hours, which is nowhere near the 7 day battery life claimed by Garmin. I will try to update as much as I can later but this watch is likely going to be returned.

    Mine is VA4. Almost everyting turned off to save the battery. Only BT and backlight at 10% left, but still loosing ~8% per hour.

    Setting on mine very similar with BT on, 10% screen brightness, wrist gestures off, phone alerts on except from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM, screen is on auto lock to prevent accidentally activating anything. Pulse and respiration are tracking.

    I charged this morning and since removing from the charger I have have been using 2% per hour so not bad but by no means the full week lasting charge (14% used in 7 hours, no activities recorded).

    I have had a couple instances this week where it was draining the battery similar to some of the posts already made. When this happened I would make sure all widgets were updated, none were stuck trying to update and then reboot the watch. That seems to have slowed the drain each time.

    Mine is draining like crazy too, not even lasting 48 hours and I haven’t even used it for an actual activity. Has anyone spoken to Garmin to hear if they are working on this?

    Happening to me too. Anyone know if Garmin is working on a fix?

    I am testing as well - Garmin "approved" Lacesis watch face, no seconds display, wifi off, pulse ox off, smart activities off, heart rate ON, notifications ON.  Basically making it similar to my Vivoactive HR which I could get over 10 days of battery life.

    Charging now to use until it's drained.
