Firmaware 5.09 battery life

My watch has an insane battery consumption with this firmware, I tried hard reset, soft reset, recharging it to full ...

For example this morning I went for a 40 min run while listening music, I left with 48% and came back with 31% !!! In 40 min!!! that's more than 20% per hour

Usually for this session with music I use around 6-7% battery

Anyone else has the same problem ?

No. It's good for me.

For me it's absolutely fine - have you restarted your watch after installing it?

Mine is bad as well. I just restarted it. Did not know a restart was neccesary

It isn't but it has proven to help many who have had battery issues. I've started to do that part of my upgrade process just to avoid problems.

And my 5.09 battery usage is just fine. Charger battery full on the morning maybe around 8am, driving, planning and then 6h rogaining, little bit driving and when eating burgers around 6pm I had 76%. And having done almost 6h of GPS+Glonass 1s recording that battery usage sounds really small :) (I had it mainly on the time, so maybe that's also pretty good screen to have it if you are not interested in stats during the activity).
