    Still only begining of second charging cycle after factory reset though

    Are you able to compare consumption overnight before vs after?

    So you did both factory reset and roll back to 5.0?

    I rolled back to 5.0. All my iQ apps and settings were still there,  although the watch is on 5.0. Thay is pretty weird. 

    The overnight battery consumption is still 1.2%

    Interesting about your settings...

    1.2%/h ?

    This 5.1 update really has the potential to cause issues with older IQ apps. Any c0mments on battery consumption need to take into account a possible incompatibility with anything form the IQ app installed. That includes even Garmin's apps, like the Hydration widget.

    Hi Martin

    Even more strange was that IQ apps were there but not detected by the iQ phone applications. 

    Now I have uninstalled all those apps. Anyway I had few watch faces and 2 sports apps like bf hicker,  and a swim app. I have a calendar app and a battery monitor app.  I don't have hydration or other app from Garmin enabled, as far as I can see. 

    I just put back the calendar and the battery monitor apps plus the watch face I liked. 

    Rest is all the same. Let's see how it goes over the next day. 

    I still wonder if I have to do a factory reset. 

    Cheers

    During first charging cycle after reset everything was normal, maybe even better battery life than before update to FW5.1. Like 0.5% all the time even with some GPS activity and almost no consumption over night. Like 3-4% over night.

    With FW5.1 before factory reset, I had overnight battery consumption between 15-20%.

    But recently it got a little bit worse, I am now at something like 0.7% per hour which is not bad, but not perfect...

    Hi, I must say far before this update I had a lot of problems with battery and ended up with stock watch without any IQ content and then installing IQ stuff one by one - I found that a lot of battery monitors actually increasing battery consumption so I ended up with manually writing battery consumption to excel sheet and never used any battery monitor since that time

    Hi. I understand the battery management app thing. On the other hand, I had it on, on the 5.0, and i got 0.6% / hour. So i expect to get back to the same ballpark figure now that i rolled back to 5.0

    Cheers

    Hello, Just curious, when you went to the stock watch, I'm assuming from a factory reset, how was your battery life? Are you on 5.1 now or 5.0? Even after adding IQ stuff one at a time, still doing OK? Sorry for all the questions. I just got the watch this week. It updated to 5.1 right away and battery life is awful. Thanks for the help!!

    I agree. Now battery drains from fully charged to 50% overnight. Worst thing happened last night. From 100% to 10% just in 10 hours. Any solution available?

    I have a VA4S watch that is a few months old. It is running 5.10, and I have not done any factory resets. I have bluetooth off, and pulse ox off. Very few IQ store additions. When I charge the watch, it will stay at 100 percent for some hours. The next morning it will typically be down to 97 percent or so. I only sync it a couple of times per day by wifi. I mainly drain the battery by doing GPS activities, so I need to charge a couple of times per week.
