        @Stefan-Kersting @Belial I think it was discussed somewhere recently, but I cannot find it. But… if you turn off airplane mode via control panel, then all the connections remain on. But if you do it via Settings - Connectivity - Airplane mode, then it turns everything off. I don’t know if it’s a bug or working as designed.

            I’m sure the switch was active (in control panel).

            Now I’ve checked, it’s still on and watch is syncing, with connection icon displayed on watchface 🙂

              Surely a bug in the watch firmware. In Control panel it simply doesn’t work despite showing the switch as enabled.

              Well then disable it in Control panel, then go to Settings > Connectivity > Airplane mode and enable it there. Double check that it can not connect to phone, and then monitor power consumption.

                I’ve tried turning aeroplane mode on mine in the settings that did not stop the battery drain.

                  I’m also trying to test leaving the watch in airplane mode, but I don’t see any real improvement — maybe about 1% less battery drain per day, but it still loses around 8% daily.
                  Please, Suunto, do something about this… it’s really starting to get annoying.

                    putting the watch into energy saving mode works like a charm . So it’s obviously some process (?) that is consuming the battery

                      @Stefan-Kersting I used to do this in the past, attaching it to a single button, but it would then try to connect, so I’ve since removed it entirely.
                      This has nothing to do with the latest update.

                        After almost exactly 72 hours I have left 91 % and to hours of gps activity included the watch used 9 % energy. In my opinion there s something wrong with the Bluetooth WiFi connection. Airplane mode always on

                          For reference…
                          I’m not suffering from the battery drain and have these connectivity settings configured:

                          Airplane mode: off
                          Paired devices: Mobile app
                          Wireless network: On/Auto
                          Discovery: Off

                            @surfboomerang Can you be more precise? OHR 24 ? sleep tracking? daily battery consumption without activities ?

                                @surfboomerang If you turn everything off and use it like a Casio watch from the 1990s, it’s no wonder that the battery drain problem doesn’t occur 🙂

                                  @maszop and Casios have 10 years battery life (with probably a smaller battery)

                                      Casios had no GPS 🙂

                                      I do have exactly the same settings as @surfboomerang. Well, in fact no… my notifications are OFF 😛

                                        I’ve also tried unpairing all Bluetooth devices and changing the watch face, but the result is the same… I can see there are now reports about the Vertical 2 as well, so I really hope they’re working on a solution.
