      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?

          @thanasis never dohard reset.
          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

                                    @gerasimos but if you have everything turned off, there’s no point in talking about it 🙂

                                      @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.

                                        the backlight is set to auto (wake to raise or how it is called)

                                        turning off the BLE will disable the notifications i think, which i want to have. I have less than 100notificiations and the overnight it consumed like 6% (zero notifications, and turned face down , so the HR/ blood was off)

                                        in the past this was not the case for sure. Also before the hard reset (which is did to test the other item i reported on the offset… which apparently is not related) the drain is significantly higher than before.

                                          @thanasis well just to test the ble is not the culprit on that 14% of drain. Maybe its the notifications?

                                          I dont think hard resets are going to help here so don’t waste your time with that.

                                            Today : 22% left --> 78% lost in total in 12 days

                                            So 61% lost for 12 days, non include GPS activity (avg = 5% / day)
