      @gerasimos hard reset yesterday…
      full setup
      full charge to 100% at 08.15

      test training (walking) to see if things work at 08.30 for 7 min
      battery at 12.15 : 93%

      so 7% In 4 hours

        @thanasis A friend of mine has a S9PP with a new battery and it lasts only a few days. In the evening the watch has 20% and in the morning 2%-3%. The watch is unusable at the moment.

          my battery consumption is higher than others here report. I get 8-10% a day with use as I write. I’ll wait for it to discharge to 0 and then we’ll see. So far it’s not too bad, but nothing great either 😄

            My Vertical had monday evening 79% battery when i left my watch in the closet.
            2 days later without using watch i only have 57% left…
            All those updates later Suunto can’t solve the problem of huge battery drain…
            When will this be solved? Or never…???

              I tried resting my watch on its side as opposed to face down when not using it. I am still seeing the unusual drop. What is interesting to me is that it seems like up to 65% of battery is a slower loss but once it gets below that it seems to drain faster?

                I just drained battery once time 0% and the others about 15%-20% and full charge again.
                After last update i charge as usual and i have the results above.
                Small faster drain Problems i had only in the first software for two or three cycles of charge again now im ok

                  @Ultrawalker I also noticed that it doesn’t discharge as quickly during activity as it does during normal wear. That’s really weird.

                      Is it useful to drain battery till 0%? I am not sure if it is a good action or not for battery life…I am just curious as I read a lot of different opinions about this.

                        @thanasis i think this drainage it’s a lot… Maybe you can go at local Suunto service and measure the power and capacity of battery if it’s ok .

                          17% drop in 24 hours with just 7min of test training .
                          Obviously there is an issue
                          The only change made : I switched to this watch face :

                            @misu763 its not official suggestion and not necessary. With this way recalibrate the battery if you have issues after big software updates and only for once time… you dont need do this every time

                              @thanasis i don’t think watchface cause drain problems… only the background backlight , wifi / Bluetooth ON etch in watch time mode.
                              I have always off WiFi and Bluetooth and my watch connected automatically in my phone after first pair.
                              Everyday my setup:
                              Sleep tracking off
                              Blood oxygen off
                              Hrv tracking 24/7 off
                              Mobile notifications off
                              Brightness medium / standby off / raise to wake off / backlight OFF

                              Activities always performance everything ON

                              Also i have Ocean watchface still 33% from 1 November IMG_20241121_080940.jpg

                                @gerasimos turning mobile notifications off is not
                                Something that I want to do and I don’t think that Suunto are calculating their estimations on such conservative an approach .
                                Thanks !!

                                    @thanasis About 3% drain with this watchface for me… What happens if you disable BLE ? And reboot

                                            @martintrail the advertised battery is not with everything on especially backlight. That needs to be off.
                                            So its up to 1 month and that does not include lets say 100 vibrations + notifications (backlight) per day.
