From 19.7. 2024 I have problems with battery life and synchronization to the connect application. I attribute it to the new connect app and the watch SW version 8.3. The battery lasts for 25 hours without any activity. The watch is 4.5 years old.
I went through all the similar threads and tried:
1. Reset the watch to default settings
2. Checked for updates via Garmin Express
3. Removed apps and garmin account from phone and added everything again (Galaxy S23)
4. Removed watch from account, reset and added again
5. Updated to beta version 8.4 using the Garmin Express app
6. Let the battery run through several charge/discharge cycles
6. Replaced the battery and repeated all the steps above
I didn't get any improvement, the sync worked until the first discharge of the watch, since then I am no longer able to see the data in the connect app. The watch lasted for 35 hours without activity, a small improvement I attribute to the new battery, but the primary problem apparently persists.
I have currently spent 6 hours on this trying to resolve the issue and I don't know what to do next.
Any ideas other than trashing the watch?
