Hello, I used to have a vivoactive HR, i could commute 1 hour per day for 3 to 4 days a week and the battery would last the whole week.
Last week, I upgraded to a vivoactive 3 but I' m really disapointed with the battery life.
In 24h of normal use (no activity) the battery went from 100% to 59%.
Tonight, I charged it back up to 80%, went for a 30 min run and it did bring it down to 72%
All the setting I could think would influence the battery are the same as they where on my HR or less:
watchface is the basic garmin one (HR had one from the store)
Notification are ON but only GMAIL and SMS can send notifications (same as HR)
Connected alerts is OFF (not sure what it's used for)
Move alert is ON (same as HR)
Auto start activity is OFF (N/A on HR)
Intensity minutes on AUTO (same as HR)
Gesture is off (was ON on HR)
Timeout is SHORT (Dont remember on HR but can't be lower)
Brightness is 10% (dont remember on HR but definitely higher)
Vibration is LOW (was either low or medium)
Datarecording is SMART
MoveIQ is ON (HR too)
Is my watch broken or do all VA3 have 2 days of battery with such restrictives settings (and without any activity tracking) ?
