Battery life impacted by latest firmware updates.

I'm having a battery life issue since the update. I updated to V8.1 and my battery life was shortened. I then updated to V8.2 but the problem still persists. Battery goes from full charge to 10% in less than a day. No GPS usage. Prior to the update the battery was lasting approximately 4 days with my setting before recharge. Please advise

Update to my question. GPS version shows 0.0 after update. When I connected to Express, it detected and tried to update to 2.50. Rebooted again, still showing 0.0

Hi,

Did your watch had a solid GPS connection after the update? Last time my device showed GPS v0.0 after an update, it was fixed after having it connected to a good GPS signal, then it showed the correct GPS version.

Maybe now your device is in the background trying to receive a GPS signal, but when indoors that is nearly impossible and it keeps trying, what could cause excessive battery consumption.
