Battery drain Venu SQ during swimming

My Venu SQ has an extreme battery drain during Swimming (pool) activity.

Within 30 minutes the battery went down from 25% to 0%. During normal use (with running/cycling) the full battery last for 4 days.

GPS is not used.

What is using so much power and can I disable this?

Hello! Is this consistent? How long are the swims?

I just monitored 3 swimming sessions so far. 2 sessions were comparable:. 25% battery drop for only 25 minutes swimming.

Today I turned off bluetooth and reduced brightness to mininum. Now it lost "only" 15% in 30 minutes exercise.

Running or cycling uses about 10% battery per hour. Than GPS is turned on. Which I expect consumes more power.

I can email you and gather some information and see what feedback my team has.

Hello......I also have the same problem: if I use my Garmin SQ for running in about 30 minutes the battery loses 5% while if I use it in the pool in 45 minutes the battery drains by 25%.
