still facing battery drain even after 20.29 version

I believe I'm still having battery drain. I ran this morning and ended the run with 84% and 13 hours later 68%. 16% drop. I wish i could downgrade to a previous version. 

For me it's much better now.

here is much better also, make a reset to defaults in the settings of the watch, and try

Same here and I have a race this weekend that I am no confident the watch will last the entire event. Battery was fine until I updated to 20.29

Better, or like it used to be?
Otherwise, which reset mode did you choose?
- Reset Default Settings
- Delete Data and Reset Settings (in this case, the description says to reset the bank cards to the clock).
I'm not really in the mood to reset and start all settings from scratch because of this.

Worse. Garmin engineers are monitoring my watch remotely to see if they can find the cause. This morning I did a 45 minute strength workout with no GPS and the battery dropped 5%

This is very sad. Please keep us informed of the progress. It would be nice if they could find the bug and release a fixed fw. for us, because this is killing the user experience.

20.29 is massively improved for me. 48 hours since taking off charge and only dropped to 77%. (Not done an activity yet, will try that tomorrow.)

Personally I didn't need to do the reset, just let the watch install the update and carried on using it as before.

Dropping 23% over 2 days without any activities seems kinda high no?

I have bluetooth enabled, SpO2 all turned on etc, so guess I could get longer if I turned all that off, but there's no point having the watch if you turn all that off.

I used to charge the watch every 5 to 6 days, so if I can get back to that then I am happy.

With 20.26 and earlier versions, I would be lucky to get 3 days and that was without any activities.
