        Can’t say I ever noticed much by way of the solar, that is until today. Charged it to full yesterday morning then ran this morning for 2 hours using maps, which took it down to 97%

        This afternoon I’d been driving for an hour and a half with the sunlight hitting it and it went back up to 100%, and five hours later it’s still saying 100%. Impressive!

          @MiniForklift Yes, I’ve seen this in the previous firmware as well. I think it’s some kind of calibration.

            hello,
            I have done a run with 2 Suunto app activated. I still notice much higher battery drainage… suunto coach, ans ghost Runner. I lost 10% or so in 1h30 run activity tracking… high performance.

            still it is too much. for very long run and ultras > 70k it almost mean that a full charge wont be enough with those Suunto apps activated. it is a shame…id rather use suunto core only to optimize my battery longevity!

            what do you think? is the last update corrected the battery drainage issue?

            i guess , it will depend of the app itself. ghost runner seems to be demanding.

              Hi, I left my Vertical on the table overnight and this morning I found that the battery has drained by 15%… Does anyone have a similar experience?

                yes unfortunately I have faced something similar. it seems that taking the device off the wrist , for some reason it consumes a significant amount of energy. i also tried to put it on low energy mode but still the same. the only way of avoiding that was to turn it off…

                  @Pavlas can it be perhaps that the OHR sensor is active and this drains the battery? Try to disable 24/7 HR and test. Just an idea.

                    Put the device upside down, maybe its the ohr sensor struggling to read the table etc

                      @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos It’s the first time it’s happened to me. The watch is on the strap. Usually barely 1% of the battery disappears overnight.

                        @Pavlas it’s definitely the hr … I left in my bag today and it shows very high hr readings with many spikes which I suspect affect other metrics . It also consumed 10% in less than 6 hours
                        I think that’s a bug to be honest .

                              @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos it was idle in the backpack while I was in the office. The readings have consistent pattern . I can test it again 🙂

                              Thanks !!

                                @thanasis I don’t see any HR values from that night. Looks like it didn’t measure anything.

                                  So I guess it really is HR. Now I put the watch right on the table and the HR is glowing. When I put it on the strap, it doesn’t light up. It’s possible I had it right on my desk last night.

                                    So for the last few nights my watch has been upside down on the table. Battery consumption was about 0.5%.
                                    But last night 4% disappeared again.
                                    I think I’m really gonna turn off the heart rate tracking and be done with it.

                                        I’m still not happy with the daily battery life of the watch. Is there a known problem? Daily battery consumption for me is 4-5%.
                                        I’ve also tried 100%->0% calibration
                                        But during activity it seems fine. That’s roughly 2 - 2.5% per hour.
                                        What is your experience? I have the non-solar version.

                                          @Pavlas I also have the non solar version and I’m charging the watch every ~15-16 days when it’s reaching 20% battery left, so my battery consumption seems similar to yours.

                                            @Pavlas I am noticing battery drain on my solar version of similar rate with 24/7 heart rate, notification on and Wi-Fi off. I tend to do about 3-4 workouts a week of roughly 1 hour each.

                                            At 12 days I am at 9%

                                            I am going to let it naturally go down to zero and recharge this week to see if that helps. Prior to that (and after the major update) I forced the drain to occur by turning on the flashlight to expedite the battery drain to zero for the battery calibration and I still saw a quicker drain than advertised.
