I bought VA4 about a week ago, fully charged it to 100%. Pulse ox off, notifications off, gestures low sensitivity, timeout fast, brightness 10%. Used Garmin watch face.
Had one 30 minutes cardio session, otherwise on smart watch mode the whole duration.
Battery drained to 5% in 4 days. No way near 8 days advertised. I chose the watch for battery life.
I tried Venu 2 weeks ago and I got 6.5 days battery life with same settings as above, however the screen gestures didn’t work when lying down exercising on the floor. Had to sit up right of it to respond.
Any experiences with Vivoactive 4 battery, has Garmin responded to this issue?
