Battery saver starts even if it is turned off

pw over 2 years ago

I have this setting set a long time ago:

Settings / Power Manager / Battery saver / Status: Off (14 Days)

and battery indicator today shows 90%.

Still, my watch beeped and displayed a 30-second countdown to start the saver.

Is that a bug? Has this happened to you?

The watch sw version is 14.20.

wild guess: are you sure it wasn't something like "power save" displayed with a 30 second countdown. if you have accidentally jumped to the activity menu or activity, you may inadvertently get this message…

It was probably the power saver. That's entirely possible. But it happened to me when I was sitting at my laptop and not doing anything with my watch. I'll keep an eye on it and write when it happens again.

I was having the same issue. I had just gotten back from a walk, ended the activity and exited. Was at the watch face, fast forward about 5-10 minutes, I’m making a smoothie and next thing I know my watch vibrates and it’s the power saver mode count down. I hit the back button and somehow it’s on the run watchface as though I started a run. So either I bumped the start button and accidentally started a run(doubt it). Or when I exited and saved my run it glitched out and kept trying to return to that run page.
