battery drain with with all faces but stock

I upgraded my 4s to a 4 about a month ago. I changed over all settings and my watch face. I was getting about 5 days battery life out of my 4s. When I switched to the 4 I was maybe getting 3 days. I finally figured out the face I had been using was causing the drain so I switched to the stock faces. I have tried maybe 10 faces in the garmin store and I always lose a huge percentage overnight with each of them. Ones I never had a problem with on my 4s, ones made by garmin, etc..  When I use the stock faces I get close to 6 days battery life. 

Anyone else have this problem? I thought the 4 was supposed to have better battery life than the 4s.

    Currently trying Garmin's Night Gleam. Down 20% in less than 12 hours.

    Hi there,

    i have the problem since update to version 5.8


    Now i turned off the light and DND in the settings menu, now it seems to work (5 days and almost 30% battery charge left).


    You have to choose what you want to have a light or a "not garmin" watchface, both together did nor work at the moment...

    That was my default setting already. I did find a solution. I did a full factory reset on the watch and uninstalled all the watch faces and apps on both phone and watch. Working as it should currently!
