I’m sorry to hear of the battery drain issues that you’re experiencing. Let’s start by power cycling (turning off and then back on) your watch. If the battery drain persists and if you have any Connect IQ (CIQ) Content, especially watch faces, you may need to delete that content until the independent developer is able to update their app/watch face to function correctly (without causing a battery drain) with the new firmware version on your watch. You can use any of the 3 FAQs below to uninstall the CIQ content.
If you would like to submit feedback to the developer of the CIQ content, you can do so by clicking the link below and searching for the download page of the CIQ content. In the bottom right corner of that page, you will find the option to contact the developer.
High battery drain is also back for me after the last update. Worse than it ever was at around 4% an hour through night & when doing nothing but sat at a desk.
Brightness at 10%, short time out, gesture off, SP02 off, all day heart rate on. All standard faces & apps. Tried reboot to no avail.
Had it with previous updates but never this bad & has usually settled a few weeks after updating. Will keep an eye on it.
I just wish you guys would let us choose if we want to install updates rather than forcing it on us & making expensive devices useless in a matter of minutes. They are ours after all not Garmins & none of the updates since i've had the device have given me any benefit. I appreciate that won't be the case for everyone but that's where choice comes into it....
