        no navigation for me, 1 hour run since update (24 hours ago) and 10% down.
        but no full discharge/recharge after update yet, so i will wait for it before next feedback.

          20+ hours after last Navigation use (Location Fix check), the compass widget is still showing a value. Could this be relevant? (Happened on the last FW.) Is there supposed to be a timeout for this feature? Only stops with a soft reset.

            I have not done a full drain/charge cycle but so far not seeing any improvement in battery life. I do not use navigation regularly so this specific fix probably does not apply.

              For me, the navigation battery drain seems fixed. Did a hike yesterday with routing and map.
              Stopped the activity with 30% left and woke up this morning with 29% without a restart of the watch.

                36Hours since top up to 99% charge, 30minute stretching activity (got my self injured on the last training run before a race this weekend), with OHR 24/7 and we are down to 93%. For now I am still averaging around 3% to 4% per day. Tonight will be a light run just to test the hip injury before the race on Sunday… Lets hope the watch and the body are on par to get me off the startline and somehow to the finish 🤙

                  @SvenSchroeter Summing up my experiences (spoiler alert… no issues detected).

                  5Days have passed. Started with 99% and Today I am down to 74%.

                  • OHR 24/7
                  • O2 Sat Enabled
                  • Notifications ON - Buzzing every now and then

                  Activities Recorded:

                  • STRETCHING: OHR ONLY / no GPS : 61minutes
                  • RUN: HR BELT / GPS=Performance: 215 minutes
                  • BIKE: OHR / GPS=Performance: 25minutes

                  I expect around a 3week battery life which is pretty damn good considering what I think is relatively heavy use. Included was a running race of 30km, route was pre loaded, but i was not navigating it with prombts… rather simply following the route. I am not experiencing excessive drain for my use cases.

                        Yesterday I started my day with 100%, then had a one hour run (kind of a race with GPS/maps on) and today my battery still shows 98%. I am not sure if this is realistic, or some king of calibration is needed, but I will keep an eye on this.

                          There still exists an odd battery drain when NOT wearing the watch. I took mine off yesterday morning at 93% and it is now at 75% (18% loss in 24 hours). This is with the watch laying face down, so the OHR is not on.

                          I wrote about this same behavior earlier this year (somewhere way up this thread). At first I thought the drain was due to sleep tracking being enabled and the watch attempting to track sleep even though it is not on the wrist. However, this time I noticed a significant drain during the day as well.

                          It’s hard to imagine what the cause could be. I shouldn’t need to turn on or disable any features when taking the watch off. What could possibly be going on to cause such drain when not wearing it?

                          Edit: Another huge 24hr drain from 71-44% while the watch was off the wrist. I recorded a 1.5hr activity prior to this and saw an expected ~2% drop. My Vertical is on track to last less than four days while sitting face down on the counter. Anyone else seeing significant battery drain when not wearing the watch?

                            @duffman19 I agree! I see more drain with it “resting” face down on the night stand than any activity I do.

                                After full charging oct. 7 I started with 100%
                                today I am at 67% after 11 days with about 5 hours of running activity with hr belt and ZoneSense app…
                                I think this is not bad, and perhaps only a little bit worse than before the summer update…

                                  It will be enough for today 😳

                                      Yes, 14% is too much battery for my activity of today 😂.
                                      For non activity drain, I will keep zen, waiting for next fix.

                                        Hi everybody !

                                        Just send my drain watch for this week.
                                        Started last Sunday with 89%.
                                        Today 30% of charge.
                                        Activities: 2 run for a total of 1h30 and 1 nordic walk of 2h.
                                        HR ON
                                        Sleep OFF
                                        Notifications ON
                                        Performance Mode activate during activities
                                        No wipe since the last update

                                        That seems to me too much draining batterie.
                                        For me, this is not due to activities but only when the watch is on my wrist and overtime not wearing and face down.

                                        My feelings since I’ve bought this watch are degraded because the watch was more efficient when I started use it last year.
                                        Every updates downgrade the efficience of this product.
                                        That’s a pity…

                                          Odd one - idle Vertical screen showing this:

                                          Weird 1.jpeg

                                          Watch placed on surface while still displaying the just-saved-activity screen. Left untouched for 15 mins or so. Returned to normal “Data” watchface with time resumed & more plausible step count when picked up.

                                          This might be a bug but it involves unusual power use so I’m putting it here. FW 2.37.48.

                                          Anyone else seen the same?
