Battery Draining Faster- HR Sensor's LED is Constantly ON

Hi everyone,

After six months of excellent performance, my Forerunner 255's battery suddenly started draining much faster. While investigating, I read online about someone with a similar issue caused by their heart rate sensor's green LED is constantly on, and not flickering as it should be. I checked mine and found the same problem.

I’ve tried the following steps to fix it:

Checking the setting regarding heart rate, Pulse Ox etc.
Performing basic troubleshooting steps.
Doing a factory reset.
Unfortunately, none of these have worked, and the battery life remains much shorter than before.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

  • Basically you hit the start button, then you see an activity, RUN or whatever, and just go back to the watch face. This could be a temporary fix. But actaully I think for me the problem resolved by itslef after a few days, so hang on there...
