  • 30% sounds a bit high for firmware v4.10, compared to what I've seen on my FR235

    What was the rate of battery power consumption overnight that you've come to expect on firmware v3.30?

    There are new setting to adjust HR sensor?
    Not that I'm aware.

    My FR235 on firmware v4.10 uses about 11% every 24 hours, with 24x7 HR tracking and smartphone notifications enabled, if I don't have any tracked workouts during that time.
  • Did you turn off the watch overnight or wear it and keep it on? There a know big where the battery drains even though it is off.

    Same issue

    I do have same issue with 4.10. I was very happy with 3.x, now battery drain is forcing me to charge every 4 days.
    I would like to downgrade...but how.
    I do have installed SR6, heart ratio with zone only.
  • I'm also having issues with the battery.
    I purchased the watch last Saturday and it got updated to FW 4.10 at the same time so I don't really have any experience with older FWs.
    I have to recharge the watch every day even if I don't do any workouts, something like ~20% of battery left in the evening.
    I have smart HR on, and it's powered 24/7. I don't have any IQ Connect watch faces (had one for a day, but uninstalled it because I thought it would be the cause for the battery usage).

  • Battery Life issues on FR630 with new FW 4.10

    I have the same issue with my FR630. I used to get about 8-10 days out of the watch with notifications, connect IQ watch faces, and roughly an hour running every day. Now I get about 4 days!

  • Perhaps you installed a different watch face that's doing this. Try deleting all CIQ stuff and see if things improve.
