    Experienced what may be a similar problem.  Charged to 100% last night before going to sleep and wore the watch overnight as I always do. Then when starting this morning's workout I noticed that the watch had gone to the black screen with blue triangle.  Since I had already begun the workout and had started tracking with another wearable, I manually added workout statistics in Garmin Connect upon returning home.  Stats captured were "good enough", but do not match one for one the metrics that the Venu captures, so there are some missing data fields.

    I did not think to check the Venu battery life before heading out since I had charged it to 100% the night before.  My Venu is on OS Version 5.10.0.0, and I have had it about 11 months so I hope that the battery is still viable. Pulse Ox Sleep Tracking is set to On, as is Wrist Heart Rate, Smart Recording and Device Sync.  The watch display lights up via the "Raise to Wake" option, and is not set to Always On.  Infinite Geometry (by Garmin) is the active watch face. Lachesis (Light) (by Garmin) is the other installed watch face. Generally I get 3-4 days before charging is required.  Today's unexpected battery drain/low level is not the first time it has happened.  Since it occurred today and with the scenario described above, thought I'd post here in the event it will help.

    Batteriet er kun opladt 2-3 dage, det går hurtigt...er det normalt?

    Do you have Pulse OX set to All Day?  If so try setting it to nighttime only.

    It surely doesn't seem normal. I have the Venu since 11 months and the battery is very good. I need to charge it maybe twice a week. I have PulseOX set to track only during sleep. Other than that, I have all sensors and tracking activated. I am also doing about 1h / day on average activity tracking. Even with PulsOx always the battery is lasting 2+ days.
