Garmin-Jimmy please give us the same as Fenix 8, an update which fixes this battery bug. This was reported a lot of times during beta, the highest voted bug, but not even a single acknowledge from Garmin…
Have the same issue - 6% during the night. - vs 2% it was
and it came to more than 10% over the day with NO activity.
Any ideas?) (on top to factory reset)
This was a beta bug, but for me 20.26 seems to be ok. Check if garmin share is turned off, it was one of the culprits, that it was default on with the v20.x.
Settings - connections - Garmin share
Bonjour
je viens de faire la mise à jour.
je redémarre la montre et je vais surveiller la consommation,mais je ne sais pas pourquoi je n’y crois pas trop.
j’espères me tromper.garmin a corrigé ce but sur les f8 donc apparement il est connu et cela devrait être simple a mettre en œuvre
Hi! I have the same problem. It looks like some process keeps running after the workout is finished. I am in the beta program and the problem appeared in test builds about two months ago. In the stable build the problem persists. Usually the battery consumption was about 5-6% per day. Now it is about 14% per day. Previously at night the consumption was 1%, now about 4%. Restarting the watch temporarily solves the problem.
I feel the same. There is only the third charging cycle for my watch. And right after I charged it to 100%, the battery dropped to 99% in 5 min with no intense usage. Before 20.26 on 100% the battery estimated 23d lifetime, now - 21d. Sure, I noticed the battery drain even before charging the watch fully but didn’t have any evidence in numbers.
By the way I also noticed that in 20.26 when you tap Start button from the Home screen, there is no battery time estimation anymore. Previously I could see estimated time for GPS mode here (like 28h left) and compare it to smartwatch mode on Glances screen (like 22 days).
Well, I found the battery estimation for activities. It was moved to activities options menu - e.g. choose Run, tap and hold Options button. So now there are 3 battery estimation types: smartwatch (like 21d) on Glances screen, GPS activity (24h), non-GPS activity (48h). But it become less convenient due to the extra button click.
P.S. I also installed 20.29 - there is no battery drain fix in release notes. But let’s see.
In the description of changes in version 20.29 there is such an item:
Fixed incident detection remaining active after activity.
Perhaps this is the process that continued to work after the activity ended and consumed the battery charge. Perhaps... I will keep an eye on it.
I don't know if it's because of 20.29 or the fact that I've now disabled incident detection for all activities, but my drain has now finally stopped.
Hi, How much percentage did it drop lets say, within 12 or 24 hour?
And what is it now?

I did restart after writing this post and it doesn't help. Should restart after every activity prevent battery drain? My watch is also synced instantly after workout.
I definitely don't want to do restart after every activity, I want that Garmin fix this.
Is possible to downgrade a firmware? Otherwise I will contact local support to get new watch and hope it has older version on it.
do you think a new watch will help?..
