I just bought FR955 a few days ago, changing from coros pace2.

After firmware update (from 9.x to 13.23), my watch battery drop 15% per day !!! it's *** suck for the brandnew garmin watch. Is there any 1 have a solution for that ? 

I've been read so many thread about FR955 battery drain in this forum and in all of this thread, there is not even 1 official reply or annoucement from garmin team, are you there ? do you have a plan to fix it ? or i have to change back to another brand for better support ?

    You can continue to hold the light button past that and the watch powers down. I do that after ever FW update or if I have issues as it sometimes helps to resolve them . Just hold the light button in until the device goes off.

    I disabled Strava segments to my 955. I even went to so far as to delete all starred segments and all of my routes to be sure there was nothing to sync in case the enable/disable was buggy Smiley They were all cycling related and since I haven't ridden outdoors in a long time they were unnecessary. Anyway, that's a different story. I disabled and removed the Strava segments about a week ago. The battery drain does indeed seem to have stopped.

    Also turned off strava live segments and battery drain issue seems to be resolved.

    I turned off my live tracking too.

    Seems to have impact on battery.

    Still battery drain happens on firmware 14.17. I wanted to test that earphones bug, is it just on spotify or on local music too. It played for over 8 minutes without dropping.

    I started a run and music. After 8 minutes discarded the run and turned off the earphones in the menu and turned on airplane mode back on. 66% to 64%.

    Just woke up, the battery went from 64% to 40% in about 10 hours.

    Again I write (like the last summer) - C'mon Garmin, fix it please!
