      @SergioB Yes, the high discharge stopped after I turn down the power and restarted the watch. I suspect this is related to external HR sensors. That is what Suunto has significantly changed in the last update. In my case I connected the watch to 2 different external sensors.

        6% during the night (8 hours). Only 24/7 OHR is running, nothing else. Restarted it several times, no change.

          I reproduced high power consumption on my second Suunto watch - Race S.
          Today I finally upgraded it to the latest software. After that I connected it to Coros HR armband sensor and went for a run. At the end of the run it was at 17%. 7 hours later the battery went down to 12%. That isn’t normal. It didn’t have this issue before the update.

          On the other hand, my other watch (Race 1) stopped discharging after I I restarted it. Before the restart it was consuming roughly 0.5-0.75% per hour. After the restart the battery actually went up 1% and after that it went down 1% in about 8 hour of laying on a table, which is what I’d expect.

            If you do a search you will see some of us are having major battery drain with suunto vertical too, for me over 40% a day sometimes. Something is seriously wrong I’m sending mine to suunto repair

              @gone-troppo I doubt it is a hardware issue all of the sudden considering that my Suunto S started to have this issue right after the software update that I postponed by a few weeks and only did yesterday. So sending it to a repair won’t do anything. But perhaps it is more complicated than that.

                12.9. 19:15 Charged to 100%
                13.9. 19:15 battery 91% (1h8m GPS)
                15.9. 07:00 battery 81%
                15.9. 13:00 battery 68% (2h5m GPS + AOD + Navigation)
                15.9. 22:13 battery 65%
                16.9. 20:36 battery 58%
                17.9. (1h20m GPS) - didn’t write down percentages this day
                18.9. 16:21 battery 43% (1h17m GPS)
                20.9. 07:44 battery 31%
                20.9. 20:19 battery 13% (3h30m GPS + 1h pause + Navigation)
                21.9. 19:20 battery 8%
                And it is new watch so i play with it little bit more than usual but not too much.

                24/7 HR + Blood oxygen + Sleep tracking + Raise to wake + BT notifications. Medium/Low brigthnes. And i wear it all the time.

                  Based on data on website

                  6da933e0-bd3d-475e-89cc-3a78839048a4-image.png

                  we should expect discharge around 1.8% each hour during GPS activity. And around 0.26% per hour during smartwatch with tracking enabled. And it says “up to” so i expect this numbers to be in best case scenario. And page not specify if sleeptracking and bloodoxygen tracking is taken to 16day battery life.
