All,
I'm very sorry if you are experiencing increased battery drain. Please see Tips to Extend the Battery Life on a Garmin Fitness Watch, and if the tips do not help please reach out to Garmin Product…
Yes, this is a known problem with the 20.xx firmware and we've been complaining about it throughout the beta phase.
Have to admit I’m not impressed with this answer from Garmin. Sorry for your battery drain but switch off lot’s of stuff that you bought the watch for in the first place to save battery. Not really the…
The full battery is 100%. The power-saving mode drops by 3% overnight. It only costs 1% before upgrading. Can the developer of garmin explain the reason?
I also tend to think, that consumption in "Standby"/ Fitness tracker mode is higher with 20.xx than it was with 19.xx (Garmin Share, Wifi off, Flightmode while sleeping).
Consumption during activities (SatIQ, external HRM and sensors) seems normal, though.
Yes battery consumption in watch mode is definitely a lot higher with these latest firmware releases
I just ran for an hour and the GPS is working on SatIQ. The battery has been depleted by 4% and there is still 93% left. Version 19.18 also consumes 4% of battery in one hour, which remains unchanged from before. Next, I need to check the battery consumption after 24 hours. If it is still around 3%, it indicates that upgrading to version 20.26 has a high battery consumption issue. Resetting the watch is effective.
