          @Fenr1r yes, but this happened only today. Hope the developers can also reproduce that, and fix it by next week

              @duffman19 should have come this week already, but luckily for us Suunto developers found out some more battery drain issue and are trying to fix them too, so delayed to next week.

              ouha! it feels like it, that there are multiple RC of the drain issue. happy to see they found out various and not only one… good, now the last pattern of today reported, lets hope it will be fixed as well, as the flow is pretty much commun!

              thank you for the update. We are almost their, i dont mind waiting a week more to be sure the hotfix is covering everything!

              thank you!

                @Fenr1r it may be the same thing as the developers have identified .without knowing the facts I believe it is related to what we observe by starting an activity .

                    Quick heads-up:
                    New FW is just under test with fix for battery drain issue.
                    If all goes well, it can hopefully be released within a few days 👍

                        Are there good feedbacks from tests ? 🤗

                          I just finished installing the update that came out a few hours ago
                          This should take care of some of the battery issues

                            Of some problems related to battery drain, specifically only those related to navigation : “fixed a case where power consumption remained high after navigation”. Am I wrong, or were there other causes of the problem?

                              @Ars-Vitae I did not suffer from any problems with the battery, I only know from this forum that there were various problems

                                hey guys, now WE have one fix for battery drain, let ALL people who were experiencing issues to come back with feedbacks, instead of speculating wether all cases are fixed or not.
                                It might be iterative process.
                                My first feedback : i was 26% of battery before the update, and it was 26% after the update, it seems to work 🥳

                                  @Mff73 Good call! I took the liberty to charge my watch while I installed the new FW and plan on doing a ride after work to confirm. I was one of the ones affected by the battery drain (8-10% daily drop) and run navigation during activities.

                                  Currently at 99% and will keep the forum posted on battery usage.

                                    @Danny-poleg I only quoted your comment because it highlights the point of this update: only some battery drain issues have been resolved.

                                      @Ars-Vitae In the process of debugging a firmware issue, especially related to unexpected battery drain, various factors could be at play. Many users have confirmed that enabling navigation is a significant cause of this issue. It’s possible that this problem could trigger other issues as well. Therefore, it’s crucial to identify the root cause and fix the problem to see if resolving this one will also address the other potential issues.

                                        @Mff73 I have every right to speculate because the claims of fixing the problem talk about all the causes of the issue. If the fix will be done step by step, ok. But why write about the postponement of the update date explaining it by working on all the sources of the problem? That said, I hope the watch will return to its original value, and I will be happy to share with you how my watch’s battery will perform after the update.

                                          1st night so far so good… drop of 1% from a full charge after the update last night. Got a long run comming on Sunday and am curious to see how much longer the battery can go with the latest improvements.

                                          EVERY MONTH Suunto is making their products BETTER! Great job!

                                            @Mff73 for me it looks back to normal so far. After the update I reset the watch twice wore it during the day at work and did a trail ride after work with navigation. Didn’t reset and wore to bed like usual. Woke up to 96%.

                                            I’ll keep monitoring as i saw the most significant drops after the battery got to 50% but judging from this one test, the navigation drain has been fixed
