Hold the power/light button for 15 seconds.
I'm simply curious about this. I see several posts referencing this hard reset method. Why is this recommended vs. the more "graceful" shutdown method of powering off using the controls menu?
With the nick_nz method it is as if I cut off the power and reset all the processes, while with the shutdown from the menu it is only a suspension in order not to consume the battery, Garmin provides this description and it actually works.
Five months ago I have the similar issue, you can read about it here - https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/running-multisport/f/forerunner-945/268913/new-up-to-4-per-hour-battery-drain
In my case any known methods of fixing did not help, so I replaced the watch. And I recommend doing it in your case too, of course if you can.
