5.20 battery life

Anyone else notice a drop in battery life after updating to 5.20? I went from approx 7 days to 5 days if I'm lucky. I have no different apps or watch faces on my device from when I had the last software before 5.20.
  • 5 days is better than the majority of people get. I’m lucky to get 4 days. I haven’t noticed any difference since the last update.
  • I've always gotten 4-5 days (estimated, I usually charge every morning while I shower).

    It drops about 15%-20% / day.
  • Did you get a resolution to the battery drain issue? Have done 2 resets and still only get 18- 22 hours from my battery. I was getting 3-5 days with normal usage before the 5.2 update, no other changes were made.
  • I have the same issue as lethalchook. Droped from 3-5 to less than 1 day. Did you tested the factory reset yet? Perhaps we should open a support request.

    I concur, my battery now runs down in about 3 days...it used to be much better!

    I think a support request should be started as Im new here Im not sure how...
  • For the folks who are getting 3-5 days, are you doing daily exercise? I typically do 1 - 1.5 hours a day of exercise that involves GPS and HRM and am lucky of the watch is not dead at the end of the second day.
  • I do just over one hour of activity everyday. I also have my watch in my pocket for 9.5 hours on th days I work. My watch will last 4 days

    My battery lasts about 30 hours with no activity and I bought it when it came out. I think it was during late September/ early October

    Interesting. Mine was bought last november and had the same issue. My smartwatch has been replace by a new one thanks to the warranty coverage.
