Installed 19.18, Charged to 100%. 89% Battery in Morning

1898777 over 1 year ago

I got notified of 19.18 being available yesterday afternoon.

Last night I allowed the watch to install it.

I immediately charged the watch from ~10% to 100%.

Charging finished at ~11 PM, and I put it on my wrist.

This morning ~8 AM, the battery was at 89%. WTH?

I hadn't changed any settings (I have settings to be very battery-conserving, and I get perhaps more than 14 days with runs, walks and bikes, and HRM on 24/7).

I think the install didn't keep my Display On/Off setting, but I can't be sure, but I turned On the Display Off (who the heck reversed that setting?!! DON'T MAKE SETTINGS NEGATIVE) before I went to sleep.

So, it's about 4 hours later (~12:30 PM) and it's at 88%.

First of all, turn it off and on again and see what happens

The battery discharge process is not linear with v19.18. After I charged the watch to 100%, it discharged to 94% in watch-only mode in the first 4 hours. After 24 hours and a workout on the cross trainer in between, I'm at 91%. No music, no AOD. I preume these are all approximate values, don't take it too serious

There is already a thread about weird and unwanted drainage of batteries. Above I quoted myself and it seems my battery story continues. After four days the battery got stuck between 54% and 51% for about 12 hours. Today in the evening it dropped down to 44%. No idea what's going on in the watch.
