Run Battery Life

[metrodraft]

I’m not sure if others have seen this but I’ll bring it up anyway. It may help some people out.
I have only had my Run for a few weeks now but I absolutely love it. I’m coming from a Forerunner 165 and prefer the Run in almost every way (except music).

I found that using the Run just as a smart watch it was using about 12% a day. At that rate I would only get around 8 days worth of use instead of the 12 days that Suunto states. This kept happening. Of course it went faster if I used GPS but that’s different.
One day I decided to Restart my Run right after I charged it. After doing that the watch only looses about 8% a day. That’s 12 days. I have tried this several times and it keeps happening either way.
Has anyone noticed this before?
Thanks

That is really interesting, I noticed mine seemed to drain faster the first few days too. I will try the restart after charging trick and see if it makes a difference. Thanks for sharing this.

Mine has some problem with battery maybe, at first the watch lasted me around 7-8 days with bt on, notifications on only for whatsapp, daily hr on, and sleep tracking (no spo2)
But lately the watch drained about 17-20%/day with same settings (no run/activities logged)
Tried soft reset, hard reset, etc and the best is only 14% per day

I’m having the same issue. Over two days, the battery dropped by 47 % — and that’s with just one 1‑hour run.
