      @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.

                                24/24 HR on

                                everything like when i purchased it at launch

                                today’s stats :
                                Charged from 0% to 100% on Oct 6th.
                                Today : 22% left --> 78% lost in total in 12 days
                                17% battery lost in 9h36 of GPS activity
                                So 61% lost for 12 days, non include GPS activity (avg = 5% / day)
                                .

                                today’s stats :
                                Charged from 10% to 100% on Nov 11th.
                                Today : 15% left --> 85% lost in total in 10 days
                                32% battery lost in 17h50 of GPS activity
                                So 53% lost for 10 days, non include GPS activity (avg = 5.3% / day)

                                @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos (hello 🙂 ), do you think it is in the normal range, please ?
                                In addition to my above settings (not changed), i also have raise to wake on and auto DND from 21h30 to 8h00.

                                  If I have the backlight off, “raise to wake” on low: Does this affect the stated battery life in time mode only?

                                  Besides the backlight setting I have disabed everything (24/7 hr off, blood oxygen off, sleep tracking off, notifications off) and it looks like it consumes about 5% of battery since monday when I received the watch and set it up. No exercise yet. Overnight I leave it on my desk and battery doesn’t drop a bit. So could be the raise to wake consume that much even on low brightness?

                                  P.S. I also fiddled with the watch settings, widgets quite a lot these first days, so that added an additional hit to the battery but still…

                                    @Mff73 sounds ok for raise to wake + tracking hr + hrv etc.

                                      maybe a feature “low consumption” battery mode for watchtime use could be useful , and the watch automatically use only necessary functions for ultra extended power management .
                                      -just a suggestion

                                        @gerasimos : there is an “power saving” mode which switch off everything else than “time”. Last summer my watch ran during more than 3 weeks, including numerous workouts, without any power charge.

                                          @thanasis Did you enter preactivity menu and exited without starting activity? I’ve noticed that after this procedure the fast battery drain starts.
                                          It seems like GPS is not deactivated or something like that and keeps draining battery in background.
