So my 245M battery lasts about a day if I'm lucky. A bit of history here, I bought the watch about a year ago. Straight out of the box the battery life was about the same, so I was going through the process to get it warrantied. Then an update came, and the battery life was perfect - It would last 5 or so days with a few long runs, maybe a bike ride, heart rate on and some music playing too.
Fast forward to a bout a month ago, I guess it must have been when the last software update came through.. And I'm back to square one, terrible battery life . Didn't change any setting, haven't got any apps on the watch bar spotify.
So far I've tried:
- Everything here:
https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/forerunner245/EN-US/GUID-FA52690B-3D79-4B08-9010-675124116CD9.html - Turned Pulse Ox off
- Hard reset
- Changing default music provider to anything but spotify
Running out of ideas here.. I feel like it must be software as it worked fine for so long, would rather fix the problem than have to warranty the watch. Any other things I should be trying?
Thanks,
Chris
