    Thank you for answer!
    It’s possible maybe to have a better optimization of the battery with the new firstbeat features and maybe with other features that will come?

    Best,

      @Chindris-Bogdan we’ll see what future brings us. So far I am OK with charging my watch every calendar week, exercising every day.

      Of course battery life is never enough for some of us, and if the watch could last for two weeks I probably would want three 😄

          And when it should be 1 week, in reality there are only 4 days and so on…I don’t want two weeks, three or four. It’s just annoying that from seven days now I’m at four.

          Cheers

              Yes, in this period it’s impossible to make exercises…

                @Chindris-Bogdan well 4 days without any exercise seems too little. Have you tried a soft reset already?

                  Yes, I’ve tried, but with the same result.

                  From my older post, to see my settings:

                  100% - 07.04. - 16:20
                  79% - 08.04. - 16:40
                  59% - 09.04. - 16:23
                  41% - 10.04. - 16:38
                  16% - 11.04. - 17:23
                  0% - 12.04. - 12:00
                  (No activity in this period)

                  Backlight Automatic
                  Standby - On
                  Brightness - 40%
                  24/7 tracking - On
                  Sleep tracking On
                  Notifications On

                  What is different in your settings?

                  Thanks

                      Very similar to yours, except standby off and brightness at 30%.

                        I think it is also very depending on how much notifications are sent to the watch and how often someone opens SA?

                          @Chindris-Bogdan hi, in my case turning notifications off gave sensitive decrease of power consumption. After consultations incl. in this forum, i summarized that bluetooth connection in some scenarios and to some phones can provoke very fast discharge. Try this.

                              So I charged my S9 Tuesday evening, and today (Sunday) at 14:20 I have 10% of battery remaining. But in these four days and a half I logged 7 hours of GPS, plus 2:20 without GPS. All activities with sensors (e.g. heart rate monitor, footpod).
                              Without activities I estimate I would have at least 35% remaining.

                                  @Atlen the beta is supposedly (as in, I can’t test it but this is how it should be) consuming less power because it syncs your watch only when you open the app, and not all the time (but you still get instant notifications). So next stable release should also be less power hungry.

                                    I will disable the notification and start from 100% to see the difference…

                                      I’ve disabled the Notification and Brightness was 30%.

                                      Settings:

                                      Backlight Automatic

                                      Brightness: 30%

                                      24/7 Tracking – On

                                      Sleep tracking – On

                                      Notification Off

                                      The battery drain from 100% to 0% in 5 days and 4 hours (without activities).

                                        @Chindris-Bogdan it seems fast discharge but in my case that was even faster(2,5 days).

                                          I think that this topic is also discussed in other thread:

                                          https://forum.suunto.com/topic/3477/s9-or-s5-expected-battery-life-on-2-9-42?_=1588062214792

                                          In this thread you can read that with the update 2.9.42 there were introduced some functionality that “drains” the battery, so in my opinion instead of disable notifications you should test without 24/7 tracking of and Sleep tracking too. @Chindris-Bogdan, with your configuration I think that is not far from reality and matches my own experience, but it is true that I had some GPS activities during my tests, around 3/4 hours in these 5/6 days.

                                          @Atlen In your case 2.5 days it is really low. Did you try a soft reset?

                                          What it is true is that the S9, when using GPS, the battery consumption it is really low. I your case I would test first disabling 24/7, sleep tracking and notifications. I would also kill the SA app to avoid sync and see what happens. As an example, I get around 9/10 days wearing the watch all the day without notifications, no 24/7 and no sleep tracking and 30 minutes of indoor activities (NO GPS) everyday and 40 min of GPS walking once a week.

                                          It is also talked that the SA app sync can affect the battery consumption.
