How is your Battery Life on the newest firmware?

Hola, a mi me dura la carga exactamente 4 dias completos , puedo llegar a un quinto dia, pero solo unas horas , estoy teniendo un consumo de 0.94% a la hora , sin usar GPS , sin oxigeno en sangre , sin gesto , con luz retroiluminacion al 20% 

Es bastante decepcionante el consumo , creo que la bateria es pequeña , una pena , lo tengo todo el dia conectado con un phone 6s plus con IOS 13.4.1

 Vivoactive 4 firmware 3.8 - 7d, firmware  4 and above - 5d

settings and usage the same

como?

Por favor esplicate un poco mejor , me gustaría entenderte bien

I've had va4 for more than 5 months and on every software version it's not more than 3 days if I record an activity and if I don't then 4 days. I bought from a retailer "coolblue" in Netherlands and more than 80% of user reviews mention the same. So I am assuming the quality control at Garmin must be terrible coz not everyone has this problem around the world but also so many people do. 

 On 4.0 I tested my battery life a couple of weeks - I mostly didn't use GPS, had only a 1-3 short activities during the cycle, used non animated watchface, and kept all recommendations for good battery life. The battery did last somewhere between 6 to 7 days and I didn't reach 0 %. After 4.5 update the battery drain is rather unstable - it starts draining very slowly - like 5% a day, but next day it is up to 20% (no activities, the same usage). Then it stabilizes a bit and drains some 15-18% a day. It lasts maybe 5-6 days. The problem is that after a GPS activity like running (which does not drain too much - some 5-6% per hour), it starts draining much more during a standard usage (like 1% per hour and more). I have to switch the watch off and on and sometimes even this does not help immediately (another restart usually helps to get back to 0.7% per hour which is still rather high). 

Does anyone have the same experience - increased battery drainage after finishing a GPS activity? 

En estos momentos de covid-19 no utilizo el GPS , pero hace 4 dias la carga cayo del 45% al 15 en un dia y sin hacer ninguna actividad, simplemente en casa

Battery life on my Vivoactive 4 including the latest firmware has always been really good. I don’t use the WiFi but everything else is switched on all the time. Typical use is 7 or 8 days with notifications, checking pulse ox twice a day manually and 3 x 1.5 hours of running activity using GPS. Backlight set to 10% and watchface in use is Ranger. Last charged Tuesday last week - now Monday currently at 18% so will charge tomorrow or Wednesday. Very pleased with VA4 so far after 3 months owning. 

That’s a really good battery life. I wonder why there are so many bad reports...

Pues que suerte.

nunca he llegado al quinto dia , y no encuentro la forma de que lo haga , y sigo todas vuestras recomendaciones

If that's true, you must be very lucky obtaining an extremely good specimen of the watches. Garmin claims up to 18 hours in GPS mode, so at best it should consume 5-6% an hour during GPS activity. Your 4.5 hours of running should consume at least 22% of batery in total. That in addition to standard usage of the watches.

Seems Garmin batteries have a rather wide range of capacities in real life. But yours surely must be an outlier on the positive side.
