What is this..

Hello,
I have my third FR 945, the first has problems with the buttons, the second freezes totally and shows me nothing more on my display and now, I load the watch fully, without pulse OX, without WLAN, but in 17 Hours after fully loaded and 90 minutes of Activity (go by bike) I have only 45 percent capacity. Now I have installed the 4.2 Update, but it sounds that it brings no changes with it..

Has every one an idea why the watch eats so much?

Thank you.

Best regards

Olaf

    Olaf, first, I apologize for your experience thus far as you shouldn't have needed multiple exchanges so quick out of the gate. 

    In regards to your battery life, my first and simplest suggestion would be to turn bluetooth off on the Forerunner, then hold the power button in for up to 15 seconds until the device powers on. You can then power it on like normal and turn bluetooth back on. 

    This is a hard reset that often resolves odd issues like you've described. I would be very curious to see if your experience is any different after following these steps and charging back up to 100%.

    Check if your music provider is set to a streaming option (like Spotify). If it is, and I'm sorry if you use it, but delete it, set it to either my music or control phone and hard reset. Do this on top of everything else your doing. See if that makes a difference. Maybe try redownloading it afterwards if you use it?

    I've had the exact same issues with my watch (also my 3rd), and I now have much, much better battery after turning off WiFi, no Pulse OX, and no streaming music (like 0.2-0.7%/hr).
