My watch needs charged more than it used to. I used to go two or three days, now, I have to charge it everyday. Is this normal?

Which watch do you have? "Vivo" doesn't say much since there are many different Vivos.

• Update to latest version via Garmin Express.
• Restart.
• Turn off pulse oximeter if you got that function.
• Switch to a standard watchface.

If nothing makes a difference then do a factory reset.

I've turned everything off that I know limited everything and I still need to charge vivoactive 4s twice a day. This garmin is only 2 wks old

What happens if you do a restart of the watch and then just put it aside and don't wear it. Do you still need to charge it once or twice per day?

Moved again.

When I had the Pulse Ox set to auto and the data recording set to 'every second' it did drain the watch quickly.  Also having the weather turned on by location of the phone while not having the phone close seems to tax the battery.  Having the face 'always on' drains the battery.  Doing many exercise / activity recordings or long activities will drain the battery.  Features that take all day recordings like the Respiration feature will drain the battery faster but I use this one and the all day Pulse Ox and only charge every other day.
