Softreset is more just , ‘turnoff watch and turn it on’
You won’t loose any settings, it is like restarting (like for your phone).
The only thing to do after a “softreset” is to connect to the app to sync again the GPS assisted data.
And in your case, after softreset, proceed to full discharge of watch and full charge to let the watch software calibrate the battery again.Softreset won’t modifiy anything in the battery hardware, but sometimes battery software management need to be resetted (the software has some mess in the battery measurment gauges), thus softreset can just clean this.
And in your case, after softreset, proceed to full discharge of watch and full charge to let the watch software calibrate the battery again.

@miniforklift I did a soft reset just b4 bed at 42% and this morning battery 37%
-
@ianpet Is that with sleep tracking, HR and notifications on? If so, doesn’t seem too unreasonable.
-
@ldxmsg yes I left all on
-
@ianpet it’s normal then
-
@дима-мельниченко oh thank God for that even tho I charged it Friday gone
-

No, impossible. I get around 9 days without notifications, 24h or sleep tracking and around 6/8 of GPS with belt.
-
@ianpet I didn’t - I get 4 days with everything on. I said as much earlier in this thread!

maybe to get a good view of the situation, can you create a similar post as I did (https://forum.suunto.com/topic/3674/suunto-9-baro-quick-discharge-problem/67?_=1613503046483)?
So we get an idea about the settings, activities and battery drain rate you experience?
There are simply too much variables to just state if 4, 8, 11 or 15 days are normal for the watch. It depends… -
@surfboomerang does the hr monitor on the watch take alot of battery

I charged mine yesterday evening and this morning I was at 95% (sleep tracking was on). So yours sounds about right
-
@ianpet it does cause more battery drainage. How much? I don’t know. I never use the optical sensor and also never tested the difference. Maybe other people know more exact numbers.

yes it does. I would hazard a guess and would say up to 100% more
-

@freeheeler great I just did that will that save more of my battery
-
@ianpet
I don’t know the power saving mode very well as I don’t use it. But the manual says that power saving will switch off 24/7 HR. Hence I don’t expect a difference.
Try to observe if your watch is doing funny things maybe to your phone? No drain on that side?
