My battery also only lasts 3-4 days now. Lasted about 2 weeks before the update to 19.18. I have tried all of the suggested fixes for battery problems I have found when googling it, but nothing works.…

I can confirm that. Lost 30% battery over night. There must be something wrong. It only lasts 4 days now although it shows approx. 13 of usage. Hope you can fix that asap. Thx in advance.

Yes, I have factory reset it and everything. As I said, I have tried pretty much every suggested solution out there. Nothing works…

I've had this problem for the last 4-5 software updates. I noticed that the battery drain happened over night, at least that's when it was really bad. I suspect that it could be related to the sleep tracking, but I'm just guessing.

I'm assuming the watch is either trying to connect to Garmin Connect on my phone or constantly synching with the app. I tried turning the bluetooth off on the watch before going to bed. Voila, no battery drain during the night.

My conclusion is that something is initiating synching with Garmin Connect, and/or refreshing of the bluetooth connection continously during the night. That's the reason I suspect sleep tracking.

Before the last software update to 19.18 I could just turn bluetooth off, restart Garmin Connect on my phone, then turn bluetooth on again, and I was good. This option doesn't seem to work with the latest update.
