Unusual Battery Drain

zielinskip
over 5 years ago

Just bought a 945.  I have it all updated to the newest Firmware, Software etc...  I have turned off all Smart Notifications (I find them annoying from my phone) and essentially have the watch used as an everyday weararound option during the day, then obviously utilize it for my fitness activities.  

I've noticed that during the day, while just walking around my office, I got at least a 15% battery drain over the course of 6-7 hours.  Does that feel normal?  My 935 felt like it was way longer.  Maybe it's just confirmation bias here but I feel like I'm losing battery way faster than a new device typically should.

Thanks,

    Firstly. allow me to suggest that you search the 945 posts using 'Battery' as a search term.

    Secondly, check that Pulse Ox is turned off.

    As per philipshambrook + do a reset (hold light button for 15 seconds).  I've been getting approx 5.5% drain per day in smart watch mode over the last 2 months.

    my battery also seems to drain much faster than my 935... I use one of the default watch faces, 24/7 OHR, no pulse-ox, and no BLE. I read in another thread that it got better for some people after a few battery charge cycles. We will see, I've done like 2-3 charge cycles now.
