Airplane mode kills battery

I have 17.26 for about 3 weeks now, until now without any problems. However yesterday I turned on airplane mode (when my battery was ~ 55%) and now, after about 28 hours I got a warning that the watch wants to turn on battery save mode. It turns out that the battery is down to 4%. Something is very wrong with the airplane mode...

Yes, this watch has the same firmware as FR955 and there have been reports of this at FR955 earlier. The fix is easy - do not use the airplane mode. As the watch has pretty low power consumption anyway, airplaine mode would not bring much improvement.

If you want to disable bluetooth, for example when actually being on airplane, you can use control named "Phone" to switch bluetooth communication off.

I am not using airplane mode for battery saving, why would I if I had 55% battery and it would be enough for more than a week. I use it when I don't want the watch to auto sync my activity.
