Battery drains and turning itself off during activity

2262198 23 days ago

Ever since recent updates my watch has done nothing but had problems with the battery draining like crazy and turning itself off during activities. I had to reset it the other week due to it turning itself off and was stuck on the triangle. I've had this watch 4 years. It shouldn't be a problem I'm not going to buy another. Got a big race coming up and quite sick of it now. Clearly a problem with the updates. As it was working fine.

I also had the watch detect incident during being stood still at parkrun start. It doesn't allow me to reset using the light button as this triggers the assistance feature. There's clearly a bug in the updates that needs sorting out

I recommend completely turning off all sounds and vibrations during workouts—it will help extend the battery life.

I've only started having issues since updates last year, there was a software issue that clearly has not been fixed

Garmin add "stuff" in every quarter. Most of the stuff are new bugs with occasional "features" that nobody will use. But hey, you already paid 4 years ago! And the product manager can report that they added a new feature...
