Just got a new Vivoactive 4 and was expecting a much better battery life, so far I'm running into a 48hr battery life. Charged my watch fully last night unplugged it before bed and woke up to a watch that had been sitting (did not sleep with it) doing nothing and already drained 20%.
Very disappointing this is exactly one of the reason I switched, I wanted to worry less about charging my watch every day or two. Is this just a total miss for Garmin or did I just get a lemon?
Mine seems worse. Got it last night. Set it up via bt, it was 65% or something. Had a 20min bike ride this morning using it in hr broadcast mode. At ~10am had 45% left. Attached it to pc with garming express…
When I got my new FR945 earlier this year, it had a really poor battery life for the first 4-5 days. I had to give it 3-4 full charge and discharge cycles before it started to have a reasonable battery…
Same problem, but much harder.
Battery drained 75% in 11.5 hours without use.
