Battery draining at night and Garmin Pay

Hello,

I replaced my Apple Watch S3 yesterday with the V4S. When I went to bed last night I had 85%, after 1 hour I had 65% and when I woke up the watch was turned off. This makes me a bit worried, I often rely on my watch only for alarms. Seems like the reboot fixed it, but should I be worried?

I´m also unable to setup Garmin Pay, I get a simple error after entering my passcode: "Something went wrong." (translated from Norwegian)

Thanks.

Reading through the sticky thread, vivoactive 4/4s SW 4.00 is now live, appears some are having success after doing a factory reset. See latest post from user Mirsch, might be worth trying.

There's also some information that might be helpful on the Garmin Support site: Battery tips

If you do that and test with no improvement, suggest reaching out to Garmin support via phone, chat or email at https://support.garmin.com

Edit: also here from user RunnerM: Battery draining 20-25% per day

Thanks. I did a reset of the watch and this solved the battery being stuck at 100% after fully charging and also fixed the Garmin Pay issue.

I guess resetting after a major update is key.

Sometimes that is the fix, but not always. Glad it's working for you. I'll close this thread now. Please reference the threads below for further discussion:
