      The point is that compared to first FW versioms now battery is crap. Before it was ok, now it not

      For me and my usage it is now 4 and has been 5 days… not a big issue - for ME…
      “Crap” is different…

            @Miroslava, don’t do that; There is absolutely no difference, and you will spend time reconfiguring the watch.

                Soft reset is a restart and not requiring a reconfiguration. Even if not cool, it can refresh watch memory/cache/etc…

                  For other watches people talk about a full cycle of discharge/charge, I will give it a try.

                    @André-Faria I went for a run in the forest today. I ran for 2 hours and 20 minutes and the battery only used 5%. It looks like it’s ok after the soft reset, let’s see.

                      Is this considered normal? Yesterday my wife went for a 5 hour hike with 100% battery and today she has 46% battery. In general the watch lasts only for 4 days max without any activities. It’s a bit frustrating to be honest.

                          @OutdoorMan No way, the Race S should provide 25-30h without Navigation and about 20h with. Highest accuracy setting and AOD on. Maybe doing a full discharge / charge cycle helps

                            So, I charged my Race S about 68 hours ago - 19.08. 21:00. It is now at 33%.
                            Sleep tracking, 24/7 HR, AOD, notifications enabled that each vibrate.

                            2 tracked running activities with chest strap, in sum about 90min.

                            Is it amazing? No. Could it be better? Yes. Is it close to unsuable? Certainly not.

                              @2b2bff I think it is the same as on my vertical 2. I need to soft reset immediately after EACH charging, then battery usage is ok. I already opened a ticket at Suunto helpdesk on this.

                                @johann.fuehrer will try to see if it makes any difference…
