Battery Drain since few days

Hello,

Since few days, I find that there is an abnormal battery drain. Without doing any activity and with only the heart rate and activity monitoring activated I lose 10% / day whereas before it was maximum 5% / day.Do you also have this kind of problem?

Thanks

    So after 9 days I confirm that I've a battery drain. Normally I charging my watch every 2 weeks, but actually the battery lost 70 % in 1 week with 2 gps activities of 1 hour.

    My battery drain seems to have fixed after changing Altimeter -> Auto Cal -> Not During Activity to OFF.

    Battery is down 27% after 66 hours on smartwatch mode. I am using a No Frills watch face and spo2 set to sleep.

    But still a far cry from the official specs battery life.

    I had the same issue with any of different than default watch faces. With the different than default watchface the battery is drying about 15-18% per 24 hours. But when I switch to the one of default watch face with displaying the same data (steps count, weather, notifications) the battery drying backs to the normal, about 7-8% per 24 hours. I've tried few times with different watch faces that have many 5 starts reviews.

    I've noticed that I needed to charge my watch more often in the last couple of weeks. I thought it just was due to my increased training. I charged my watch to 100% yesterday after lunch. When I woke up this morning it was down to 67% without any training or extensive use in between. That is definitely not normal. 33% in less than 24 hours without using it more than as a smartwatch.

    I've now restarted it and put it to charge again. It is already back at 100%. I will let it charge for a few hours more just in case that matters.

    I've set Auto calibration of Altimeter to OFF for "Not during activity" for a couple of days since I saw the tip about that.

    Default watch face is from Garmin with no fields that are updating often.

    I’m having also a massive drain. Lost 63% in somewhat  more then 24 hours and one activity of 43 minutes. Already did a restart, but draining is just as fast the last hours. Maybe it is the Bluetooth. I noticed also connection and disconnecting from my phone while my phone was nearby. Could it be the new version of GCM mobile?

    Hello, Do you know IQ App to show the decrease % battery by hour ?

    So after a few recharging, the battery drain is always here. I lost 6% in one day with activity tracker and hrm enabled only. Will this be resolved in the next update? Because I was very angry to recharging to battery every 7-10 days. Before I recharging at least every 14 days with 6 activity gps recorded.

    Good Morning,

    I was facing the same Problem. It starte suddenly and ended in a drin of 10% in 1h. I did a complete restart and this did not help.

    BUT - After performing a complete sync with Amazon Music the drain was back at normal level

    Is it a coincidence or does it belong to the open synchronization process?

    Cheers mate. Don't need to be angry.

    Charging every 7-10 days is really not a big problem.

    And I doubt any new firmware will address a significant improvement to battery life. Lower your expectations.

    To the rest who are facing significant battery drain like >20% in a day of no activity, just do a factory reset first. Don't install any watch face or apps. These addition could be battery drainers.

    For me I'm just happy to charge every ~5 days. I have a watch face and Spo2 (sleep).
