        @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos it was idle in the backpack while I was in the office. The readings have consistent pattern . I can test it again 🙂

        Thanks !!

          @thanasis I don’t see any HR values from that night. Looks like it didn’t measure anything.

            So I guess it really is HR. Now I put the watch right on the table and the HR is glowing. When I put it on the strap, it doesn’t light up. It’s possible I had it right on my desk last night.

              So for the last few nights my watch has been upside down on the table. Battery consumption was about 0.5%.
              But last night 4% disappeared again.
              I think I’m really gonna turn off the heart rate tracking and be done with it.

                  I’m still not happy with the daily battery life of the watch. Is there a known problem? Daily battery consumption for me is 4-5%.
                  I’ve also tried 100%->0% calibration
                  But during activity it seems fine. That’s roughly 2 - 2.5% per hour.
                  What is your experience? I have the non-solar version.

                    @Pavlas I also have the non solar version and I’m charging the watch every ~15-16 days when it’s reaching 20% battery left, so my battery consumption seems similar to yours.

                      @Pavlas I am noticing battery drain on my solar version of similar rate with 24/7 heart rate, notification on and Wi-Fi off. I tend to do about 3-4 workouts a week of roughly 1 hour each.

                      At 12 days I am at 9%

                      I am going to let it naturally go down to zero and recharge this week to see if that helps. Prior to that (and after the major update) I forced the drain to occur by turning on the flashlight to expedite the battery drain to zero for the battery calibration and I still saw a quicker drain than advertised.

                        yes, it is known by Suunto (written somewhere else in the forum, in an other post where the same question was asked).

                            Not sure what is the expected battery drainage for SV. Any idea?
                            I believe it will be very difficult to have accurate values because each person use the watch in different ways, different settings, and do different and variable activities.

                            I have a SVt for 7 weeks. So far, 2 charges. It went from 100% to 3% in 20 days. Multiple actives recorded. This is, roughly, 4.9% per day. Overall, I think it’s a good consumption.

                            Is this value in line with what other have?

                              @jjorgemoura By daily consumption, I meant no activity.
                              Consumption during activity seems fine to me and corresponds to the expected endurance.
                              I also wonder if Suunto knows what the problem is.

                                  I am around 11-12 days for each charge. usually from 3 percent and charge to 99 or 100 each time.

                                  everything is turned off but some notifications (phone and private messages), 24h hr . sleep tracking.

                                  backlight is low, no auto light but when I press a button.

                                  i am doing 5-6 hours gos tracking a week. and 4 hours indoor…

                                  I have a vertical solar. do you thing my battery is fine? i am far from the 20 days i am seeing here…

                                  thank you

                                    I also have an SV Solar, for comparison I use around 8 hours of GPS per week and after nearly a month I still usually have around 20-30% battery left.

                                      @Antoine-Lancrenon For me (Solar Vertical) with notifications, 24/7 heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen, brightness medium, raise to wake high and about 5 hours of workouts per week (GPS used on occasion now in winter; I tend to use it more in summer) I get about 10-13 days before the battery is completely dead after the latest firmware (2.30.38)

                                      That puts it similar to what you are seeing but is also off from the advertised 30 days for 24/7 tracking with notifications and is closer to what it should be with GPS tracking on at 280h.

                                          thank you all formyour feedback.

                                          i believe the culprit is the 24hr tracking, it drains, and it makes sence. it is always on, making green lights all the time 24hr. must consume.

                                          can we confirm this theory?

                                          I will try to turn it off. what so I loose really turningboff the 24hrs tracking? HRV? my progress , recuperating metrixs, sleep tracking?

                                          is it worthnit to gain 10 days of battery i guess. what do ypu think?
