Software v3.10 Battery Life

Steve 7 months ago

My watch was updated to v3.10 a couple of days ago, and now the battery does not seem to last more than a day. In fact, I charged it up fully only 9 hours ago and I'm now on 20%. And I haven't even done any workouts. What's up Garmin?

Hi. This doesn’t fix my issue. Same issue that since updated doesn’t last more than a few hours even without activity triggered. Is there going to be a fix for this rolled out.

What did you do to fix? I’m in same situation.

I charged the watch fully and left it plugged in after reaching full charge for 1 hour. Then I removed some old files from the watch, downloaded Garmin Express and it appeared that there was another update to do. I did that, and now it works. In fact, it appears that the battery life is even better than before!

While this works, it is quite annoying that I have to spend time fixing Garmin's incomplete firmware update, which doesn't even show a warning on the watch. Anyway, that's Garmin life...
