      Got my S9B today and disappointed about the battery drain. No message push to the watch, background light 5%, daily HR and sleep tracking on. From 18:15 to 23:30 the battery drained 14 % from 79 to 65 %. Have the newest fw on my s9b. Did a soft start too. Bt on too.

        Have you ever calibrated the battery or at least recharged it once ?

        As said before , you can contact support, maybe you have a defective unit.

          Here is a recent test I did:
          39h total time
          24/7 HR
          Standby on ~60% of the time
          Sleep tracking on
          30 min Indoor Exercise
          1.5h outdoor; GPS best; smartsensor
          Mobile connected iOS
          Battery 100% to 62%
          At this rate would last ~62h

            @sartoric no, I did not recharge the battery was charged 78% when I got the watch. How do you calibrate the battery?

              @Brad_Olwin the standby time is estimated to 60% or did you measure it? so with all functions on and a little bit of training the battery lasts just 2,5 days per charge 🧐?

                Turn off sleep tracking, daily HR (this is the battery eater) and the backlight off and you will get your 8-10 days with around 4-6h performance GPS. Besides the battery meter is not proportional, I mean depending on the % you are seems the discharge is faster and then slows down, this I have seen it in a lot of devices with batteries. I would also wait a few charge-discharge cycles before take any conclusions.

                  full charge (let it connected for half an hour while at 99/100%)
                  full discharge (let it shut down)
                  full charge

                    This is true, I had everything on and did a few exercises. The 24/7HR, continuous connection to mobile and sleep tracking take some toll on the battery. Without those or with just mobile connection the watch will go much longer.

                      Hello everyone,

                      I would like to know your battery life, or compare if the way my battery is draining is standard (before I possibly contact support).
                      In the settings below I have a battery level of 20% after 4 days (approx 120 hours). During these 2 days I didn’t measure any activity, thus only drove in smartwatch mode.

                      • list itemBrightness - Low
                      • list itemBacklight off, Standby mode off
                      • list itemBluetooth - active incl. notifications from phone
                      • list itemHR on wrist - on 24/7
                      • list itemSleep tracking - on
                      • list itemDo Not Disturb function - active 7h overnight
                      • list itemWatchface - dark
                      • list itemPower saving mode - off

                      I will add that the watch was purchased 14 days ago and updated to the latest firmware.
                      I have tried soft reset, but not hard one - I will try to perform.

                      What I just would like to know if the behaving is standard one, or should worry.

                      Thank you in advance for your feedback

                        @Tomáš-Lízl I think that the S9 with 24h HR and sleep enabled should get you to 5/6 days without activities, so more or less what you see now.

                          @isazi nope, sleep+HR+1h of activity daily leads to 4.5 days for me.
