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

Whats up?
Are there someone else with this Problem?

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…

Garmin released an update version 3.30 that claims to fix battery drain issue with IQ Connect watch faces. I put the Lacesis face back on and will see if battery usage changes. The last charge I did to…

This watch is a mystery to me. All I can really suggest is to stick with it and eventually the battery drain problem might resolve on its own. I got my 4s in September right after it was released and now…

I am having the same issue, I have had mine for 2 days and I have already had to recharge it, I shut everything down like they suggested but it does not seem to make a difference and if you can't run any of the features what is the purpose of having a smart watch.

I am having the same issue, I have tried shutting everything off but the battery still drains pretty quickly and if I have to shut everything down what good does the watch do me.

Guys, did you update the software to 3.80 ? I think that is the solution, once I had 3.80, the battery life started to get significantly better..

Yes that is the version I have

I have had the same problem with a Vivoactive 4s, after turning everything off more or less the issue came down to our mobile phones Blutooth being turned off most of the time which caused the Watch to hunt for the Phone constantly thus draining battery at a quick rate.

Ensure your Phone Blutooth is Turned on and remains on within 10 meters of Watch (when doing an activity the watch wont look for the phone until after activity is completed) . If you do not want your blutooth turned on on your Phone (to save battery on Phone) then turn off the Blutooth setting on the Watch).

How is this ever possible? My wife's got a VA4s and same settings as yours (except that she also has wifi on) it barely does 3 days. (not let alone the new 3.80 FW - this is why I came here again) What is this widget called by the way?

try to fully charge the watch to 100% and let it for 30 minutes in the charger, then turn off the watch (holding the upper button for 30 sec) and turn it back on while it's still connected to the charger.
choose a watch face that has a lower refresh rate (with no seconds or live hr), this fixed my problem.
