Hi all,
I purchased a Vivomove Sport last November (2022) and the battery life initially was quite good. I am currently running firmware version 3.14
However, I am now only getting around 24 hours of battery life - without recording an activity and also the following features toggled or turned off:
- Alerts
- Abnormal Heart Rate Alerts
- High Alert
- Off
- Low Alert
- Off
- High Alert
- Smart Notifications
- General Use
- Off
- During an Activity
- Off
- General Use
- Alarms
- None active
- Move Alert
- Off
- Relax Reminders
- Off
- Bluetooth connection Alert
- Off
- Do Not Disturb During Sleep
- On
- Abnormal Heart Rate Alerts
- Activity Tracking
- Pulse Ox - Sleep Tracking
- On
- Activity Tracking
- On (I want steps and sleep tracked)
- Move IQ
- Off
- Auto Activity Start
- Off (perquisite is to have Move IQ turned on)
- Goal Alerts
- Off
- Pulse Ox - Sleep Tracking
- Watch settings
- Brightness
- Lowest Possible
- Timeout
- Short
- Gesture Mode
- Only during activity
- Gesture Sensitivity
- Low
- Alert Vibration
- Off
- HR Mode
- On
- On
- Brightness
Give the amount of features I've turned off I would definitely be expecting more than 24 hours of battery life. Is there an issue with my watch? I thought running minimal features would extend my battery life significantly towards the 5 days of battery life advertised. It is my first Garmin purchase and I was very excited but I'm sad to see how long the battery actually lasts after less than a year of use.
If I am missing something, please let me know as I would like 2 - 3 days minimal of use before I have to charge again.
Any help on the above would be greatly appreciated.
