Vivoactive 3 battery drain s/w 6.60 problem

Great! just send it for replacement Garmin does good job with that. 

I never use any apps, but also have a same problem.

The New VA3 (I bought it week ago as a new device).   First sync - upgrade firmware to 6.6 (I was no occasion to check how it works with original firmware).
Now the battery drain is 1.8% / per hour - it means, that only 2 days is working.   I turned off all inteli sensors (only activity off), also BT is off.

WTF? (in documentation: 7 days).   

My 2-3 years old VA2 HR on one battery stayed almost 10 days.  5-6 days as normal when I used also GPS occasionaly.

Garmin, WTF?     shoul be 7 days is only 2 days.   Is seems to be useless device :(

I received my VA3 two weeks ago. During setup it updated from firmware 6.20 to 6.60. Until now I have not experienced any battery drain issues at all.

With normal use, i.e. just wearing the VA3, it uses 5-10% of charge per day. Of course, activities with GPS-tracking use considerably more.

The only problem I have encountered so far, is when reconnecting the VA3 and my Huawei P20 lite in the morning (usually I take off the VA3 and turn off both the watch and my phone over night). I have to turn off/on Bluetooth on my phone several times until finally watch and phone connect.

Huawei have had notoriously problems with Garmin devices, its been stated many times before. Its the phone really not the watch.

again, Adam, why you even bother to write in here? Just send it for replacement or refund. Also the new V4 has just came out, i wouldnt buy V3 at this point, as the support may be spotty from now on. 

Well I have a Samsung S8 and same battery issues.. Could it be Android related? I also have the Garmin Edge 520 with has had many connectivity issues with the Samsung phone..

My wife and I have the same problem.  Battery goes from 100% to less 50% in a few hours without even using it for tracking.  Fix it Garmin!
