Vivoactive 5 draining battery after 12.12 update

Hi, I updated my watch when the notification popped up and from then on my battery drains ridiculously fast. It's a fairly new watch, purchased in September and with my normal use, I only had to charge it once 5-7 days. Yesterday, I charged it while at work in late morning to 100% and today as I woke up there was only 10% left on the battery, and I didn't do any sport activities that day. At this rate, the watch is unusable since I'll probably run out of battery on my soccer practice tonight despite charging it right now. What can I do with this?

  • I updated today too to 12.12. After the update I had 57% battery, after 4 hours I am at 49%! That's 2% per hour. This way I will have 50 hours battery life WTF. Before the update I had 10 days battery life!

  • Just adding a me too to this one ... it's really frustrating that there isn't a downgrade button.  They need to start rolling these updates to a small volunteer group first to iron out these things.

    I'd gone weeks in September where the bluetooth connection kept on dropping, that finally got fixed and now a new update is draining the battery ... they really need better testing before mass release.

    I'm not sure, but I think the notification pushes have been a bit more hit and miss since the update too.

    And, last night sleep tracking was off - I got to sleep around 11 but the watch reckoned 1am ... it's usually spot on.
