Battery Drain

Previous questions directed me to a locked thread.  

My 255 was at 100%. I went to an event for 1:30.  When I got home I was at 82%. It kept dropping rapidly.   I restarted the watch which seemed to get it out of its funk, but what if it had been during a race? I got the Garmin after my Apple did this during a couple of races.  

Is there a fix?

  • Same thing happy to me. Charged watch to 100%, and after 3 hours of sleep, it went down to 70%. So the solution is to always reboot the watch after we make changes through the GC app? I hope it is, otherwise I am returning it, and I am loathe to do it as I love my new 255 music. Any other updates on this issue from Garmin?

  • I rebooted the watch, charged it, went to work with 100% battery, and returned after 8 hours with 64%. Something is definitely not right. Anything I can do before I return it under warranty?

  • And now it is back to normal, all by itself. Is it possible that the first days of use it just consumes more battery than usual? I can't really explain it, and I haven't heard back from the email I sent Garmin. Garmin's customer support seems non existent, so I guess the only real solution if a problem appears, is to just send the watch back? I don't get it, how a company such as Garmin, could have such a bad costumer service.
