Race 2 battery drain

[Zesty]

I have two Race 2 watches, one for me and one for the wife. My watch lasts 7-10 days between charges. Hers lasts 3. She only wears it at night and when she exercises. It literally sits on the nightstand for 12 hours a day and uses 20% or more battery daily. I wear mine 24/7 and workout 4-6 days a week. I use 10% at most.

I’ve gone through every setting and toggled her watch to minimize the drain and we still don’t get anywhere close to the same life. I sent her watch in for service and they returned it with a note saying they couldn’t find anything wrong with it. Ugh. What am I missing? How do I get Suunto to exchange hers? The chatbot was less than helpful.

My watch:
AOD=On
Notifications=Off
RTW = full wake mode

Her watch
AOD = off
Notifications = off
RTW = OFF

Both watches have been rebooted, both are running the same OS version.

Sits on the nightstand how exactly? Place it HR sensor UP (display down), otherwise the HR LED could illuminate at full power, which could lead to excessive power consumption you observe.
