      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.

                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

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

                    @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.

                            Anybody knows if Suunto is aware of this battery drain issue ?

                              There is definitely a problem with the algorithm that estimates the battery level. The watch needs to be reset from time to time to recalibrate. The reset itself is not safe and can cause the watch to stuck in a “recovery loop”.
                              I don’t think it is relevant to some specific version update (but might be related to the update process or even to a simple on/off ) and this also seems to happen on all the Suunto models.
                              This situation is quite disappointing for me because one of the major pros to go with Suunto was the promised battery life 😞

                                @Sergey-Balbir I think there is an issue lately though. I get significantly higher consumption per day despite trying to deplete the the battery and recalibrate . I even started thinking it may have been some change in the throttling of the the cpu to support the ui smoothness . I don’t believe that it was on purpose to promote the newer generation of the watches as I have read on some other posts in social media

                                    (Btw I edited my post prior to your reply , but yet I think I need to clarify )
                                    Since the new watches are currently based on the same platform you could argue that one (the people developing it ) ) does not care on the impact the implementation has on previous models because they want to promote the new ones . Not that you create bugs so that you ruin the experience on purpose . It’s an argument that you can purposely take : we need to have consistent experience hence the old ones need to take a hit on something … aka the battery life .
