Higher battery consumption
-
Hello,
Does anybody noticed higher battery consumption? I didn’t change anything recently like light, watchface etc… and for a night I have quiet mode set. I’ve noticed it when battery percentage has changed from about 32% to 12%… quite fast. I’ve decided to charge it fully but it happened again. When I was sleeping it consumed ~1% of a battery. Earlier
before was just few. Such behavior happened suddenly. I don’t remember any specific steps I’ve made. -
@orzechszek a fix will come for battery drain, in one or two weeks.
Did you use navigation during activity? Have you already rebooted your watch?
-
@isazi Yes, I was using navigation during previous activity. I didn’t reboot my watch yet. Should I send logs ?
-
@orzechszek not necessary to send logs, for the next couple of weeks reboot your watch after using navigation
-
@isazi Thanks for a tip.

I was just about to post the same question. When I first received my Race S the battery was lasting ~ 6 days for me including all my activities but now it’s down to 3 days and about 4 hours of activities before getting to 10%. I’ve recently used navigation on a couple of runs to see if the local hills are big enough to trigger the climb screens (answer - no) but the timing makes sense.
I assume the new firmware that’s about to drop is going to trigger a reboot. Will that firmware (the one with the downloadable watch faces Suunto announced in the app a couple of days ago) also have the battery drain fix, do you know?
-
@far-blue no, it will not, battery drain fox will come a couple of weeks later as the fix is still being tested

Just dropping a note to confirm that after a soft reset (i.e. turning it off and on again) my Race S is back to normal battery burn behaviour across all my activities and daily tracking. I’ve disabled even breadcrumb navigation when starting all gps-based activities (just to be sure) and all seems good. Looking forward to a fix, of course, and also as an aside hoping an option to ‘remember’ navigation being off on a per-activity profile bases will be added soon
If help is needed with tracking down the bug I am always willing to lend a helping hand
