Battery drain after update 2.44.46 (2025 Q3) on Vertical Watch

[safari]

@Mahatma-Bonsi
I walked for a total of 6 hours over the weekend with the HR Belt. I also used it as a watch for two days, with sleep tracking and notifications turned on.
I left Saturday morning at 100%, and when I got home Sunday night, it was at 80%. I think that’s a decent battery drain.
But every Belt battery was at 100%, and after 6 hours of use, it was at 70%.

I tried an hard and a soft reset and it didn’t solved the battery drain problem. After some hikes of 3 hours at the weekend the battery doesn’t last even a week. In my opinion not acceptable

@buttercup_alex sorry, I forgot to say that the watch must be on the charger

Yep I already tried this too didn’t work. I tried every single possible option from this forum and the various fb groups none worked

I can confirm battery drain even after last hot fix update.

[Stefan Kersting]

@Kramble I can confirm the same

[OutdoorMan]

This affects also other watches, not only Vertical.

@OutdoorMan Pfffffffff…

For me, on a Race 1, the battery drain actually seems quite a bit worse after the update. “For what it’s worth”.

Same problem for me. battery drains à around 1% an hour during daytime, 0.5% per hour during the night.

I’m pretty unlucky since I already had a sync problem last year with a new update.

[Stefan Kersting]

support recommended a hard reset. Anybody done that?

[OutdoorMan]

@Stefan-Kersting got same feedback and not going to do that.

[Stefan Kersting]

@OutdoorMan what is the problem with a hard reset? Never don it…

[fedequei]

This is the situation after the last 100% charge on September 17.
On September 25 I installed the update, and in the following days I didn’t do any sports due to illness.
The battery consumption still seems very high to me, as I was used to much longer battery life until June

[Charles]

@OutdoorMan Well you would lose all your recorded data without any garantee that the reset will fix the problem

[OutdoorMan]

@Stefan-Kersting basically a factory reset = all data gone, I believe you’ll need to calibrate your HRV for two weeks and such things. So nope.

[Stefan Kersting]

@OutdoorMan ok, that is not an option
