Last 2 firmwares - significant battery drop on 3rd party watchfaces

Hi everyone,

I am wondering if some of you have significant, I mean almost double battery consumption while using third party watchfaces. I tried couple of them, while on v15.x and earlier it drained about 4.5% per day in watch mode, now with the same watchfaces it uses almost the double.

I was using Quatro, Flexus, currently FR965 Like Plus xDrip1 and others...I lose about 10% per day with no recorded activity or touching it.

Quatro/Flexus and all others I use are with the seconds off, no HR on watchface and refresh every minute (or less).

While using the default 955 watchface it loses about 4.5-5% per day + default watchface has that seconds circle which refreshes every second. SpO2 is off/manually. The watch was turned off by holding the light button several times. I don't want to reset it, probably it won't make a difference in battery life.

I don't know if Garmin messed something up or every of those developers whose watchfaces I used.

Any similar experiences?
