Race S: Extremely high battery use rate
-
Same here, yesterday evening 100%. Today early morning after 7 hours only 85%. I try soft reset and i will see
-
The point is that compared to first FW versioms now battery is crap. Before it was ok, now it not
For me and my usage it is now 4 and has been 5 days… not a big issue - for ME…
“Crap” is different…I am on the same boat.

@Miroslava, don’t do that; There is absolutely no difference, and you will spend time reconfiguring the watch.

@withManish did also soft and hard reset, seems the same.

Soft reset is a restart and not requiring a reconfiguration. Even if not cool, it can refresh watch memory/cache/etc…
-
For other watches people talk about a full cycle of discharge/charge, I will give it a try.

@André-Faria I went for a run in the forest today. I ran for 2 hours and 20 minutes and the battery only used 5%. It looks like it’s ok after the soft reset, let’s see.

Is this considered normal? Yesterday my wife went for a 5 hour hike with 100% battery and today she has 46% battery. In general the watch lasts only for 4 days max without any activities. It’s a bit frustrating to be honest.

@André-Faria but i have Race no Race S

@OutdoorMan No way, the Race S should provide 25-30h without Navigation and about 20h with. Highest accuracy setting and AOD on. Maybe doing a full discharge / charge cycle helps
-
So, I charged my Race S about 68 hours ago - 19.08. 21:00. It is now at 33%.
Sleep tracking, 24/7 HR, AOD, notifications enabled that each vibrate.2 tracked running activities with chest strap, in sum about 90min.
Is it amazing? No. Could it be better? Yes. Is it close to unsuable? Certainly not.

@2b2bff I think it is the same as on my vertical 2. I need to soft reset immediately after EACH charging, then battery usage is ok. I already opened a ticket at Suunto helpdesk on this.

@johann.fuehrer will try to see if it makes any difference…
