Battery life?

Former Member

What sort of battery life are people seeing? Anything near to the 7 days in smart watch/tracking only mode? Theme of recent Garmin watches seem to be battery specs not reflecting real world usage, so just wondering what people are seeing.

    4 days for me, from which 2 hours with GPS ..far from advertising...
  • For me battery decrease about 1.25-1.2x% per hours, So for 12 Hrs it spent 14-16% and about 30% for 24 Hrs
    all of this with Activity tracking On (HR, Step, Stress monitored) and almost no Bluetooth usage (Under 1 Hrs)

    And For GPS it spent 10% per 40-45 min

    Now I have a Vivosport, I am seeing similar. Well, it dropped 7% in first 2hrs then levelled off a bit. Going to give it two charge cycles, as you can’t reboot only reset the band, and see how it is.

    I know the current theme seems to be the new crop of Vivo devices getting nowhere near their battery targets, but if the Vivosport can’t get at least 4 days in just daily tracking mode, then I might end up sending it back.
  • I have 7 days in tracking mode.
    5 days with 30 mins yoga/day
    a lot less with GPS

    Weird. Well, I've just updated to 2.7, and fully charged the band, so will see how it goes in just tracking mode.

    Yes !


    So far you seem to be an outlie,r if you're using around .6% of battery an hour, but will see how things go over the next few days of testing.

    Early days, but I am looking at 1.3% drop per hour so far. Which equates to just over 3 days :confused:

  • Its with backlight on 1, minimum. Firmware 2.6
    Also, the hearth rate watchface seems to use more power.

    FWIW I am using the backlight on 2, vibration on medium and stock portrait clock face (the one with the move bar and battery)
