      @thanasis About 3% drain with this watchface for me… What happens if you disable BLE ? And reboot

            @gerasimos but if you have everything turned off, there’s no point in talking about it 🙂

              @martintrail the advertised battery is not with everything on especially backlight. That needs to be off.
              So its up to 1 month and that does not include lets say 100 vibrations + notifications (backlight) per day.

                the backlight is set to auto (wake to raise or how it is called)

                turning off the BLE will disable the notifications i think, which i want to have. I have less than 100notificiations and the overnight it consumed like 6% (zero notifications, and turned face down , so the HR/ blood was off)

                in the past this was not the case for sure. Also before the hard reset (which is did to test the other item i reported on the offset… which apparently is not related) the drain is significantly higher than before.

                  @thanasis well just to test the ble is not the culprit on that 14% of drain. Maybe its the notifications?

                  I dont think hard resets are going to help here so don’t waste your time with that.

                    Fully charged mine yesterday from 0%
                    9% lost in 24 hours without any activity.
                    No soft reset, just charged.

                    [edit]
                    24/24 HR on
                    notifications on
                    Sleep tracking on
                    SPO2 on
                    everything like when i purchased it at launch

                    today’s stats :
                    Charged from 0% to 100% on Oct 6th.
                    Today : 22% left --> 78% lost in total in 12 days
                    17% battery lost in 9h36 of GPS activity
                    So 61% lost for 12 days, non include GPS activity (avg = 5% / day)
                    .

                    today’s stats :
                    Charged from 10% to 100% on Nov 11th.
                    Today : 15% left --> 85% lost in total in 10 days
                    32% battery lost in 17h50 of GPS activity
                    So 53% lost for 10 days, non include GPS activity (avg = 5.3% / day)

                    @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos (hello 🙂 ), do you think it is in the normal range, please ?
                    In addition to my above settings (not changed), i also have raise to wake on and auto DND from 21h30 to 8h00.

                      If I have the backlight off, “raise to wake” on low: Does this affect the stated battery life in time mode only?

                      Besides the backlight setting I have disabed everything (24/7 hr off, blood oxygen off, sleep tracking off, notifications off) and it looks like it consumes about 5% of battery since monday when I received the watch and set it up. No exercise yet. Overnight I leave it on my desk and battery doesn’t drop a bit. So could be the raise to wake consume that much even on low brightness?

                      P.S. I also fiddled with the watch settings, widgets quite a lot these first days, so that added an additional hit to the battery but still…

                        @Mff73 sounds ok for raise to wake + tracking hr + hrv etc.

                          maybe a feature “low consumption” battery mode for watchtime use could be useful , and the watch automatically use only necessary functions for ultra extended power management .
                          -just a suggestion

                            @gerasimos : there is an “power saving” mode which switch off everything else than “time”. Last summer my watch ran during more than 3 weeks, including numerous workouts, without any power charge.

                              @thanasis Did you enter preactivity menu and exited without starting activity? I’ve noticed that after this procedure the fast battery drain starts.
                              It seems like GPS is not deactivated or something like that and keeps draining battery in background.

                                    @jjpaz This is the action I’ve noticed too. The seconds stay visible when I do this (pull up activity screen but don’t actually start an activitiy). Like you said, GPS or something must stay active, which prevents the watch from going back into its more “dormant” state of time mode.

                                      Decided to track battery life and here is what I found:

                                      Full charge on 11/10 down to 4% on 11/27.
                                      this included 14 hrs and 13 min of GPS usage tracking 81.6 miles.

                                      This is not my daily wear watch and I have no notifications, 24 hour HR or sleep tracking enabled. I use a chest strap for all activities.

                                        The battery issue is getting really crazy at times .
                                        Lost 15% today which just 1.5hours of training and the rest was the watch resting … at home

                                          @thanasis I also noticed that the battery consumption gets worse… I‘m at 33% after 13 days… and I did‘t change anything 🙈
