Vivoactive 5 battery drain - SW 14.15

Hi Garmin team and community,

I’ve been experiencing a sudden and significant battery drain on my Vivoactive 5 over the past week. The battery now drops by around 20–25% overnight while I'm sleeping (no GPS, no heavy usage). I also noticed it drains around 2–3% per hour during the day with normal use.

Here’s what I’ve already tried:

  • Hard reset

  • Reset settings

  • Full factory reset

  • Battery calibration

  • Updated to software version 14.15

Unfortunately, the issue persists even after all those steps. I bought the watch on February 1, 2025, so it’s only been about 3 months.

I’m very disappointed because the battery life was great before. Has anyone else experienced this after the recent update, or is this likely a hardware issue?

Appreciate any advice or help from the Garmin team.
Thank you!
