@Todd-Danielczyk Make sure standby is off and that you have not changed backlight intensity. This will definitely change battery life,

@Brad_Olwin ah, thank you! I had standby off but brightness at medium. I’ll give that a try.

@Todd-Danielczyk I have brigtness medium, standby off and raise to wake low. Check to make sure in Control Panel that backlight is off.

I set mine to brightness low. Standby off, raise to wake high, and backlight off and gave it a full day to check. Wearing just as 24/7 but no recorded activity.
Usage 4%.
The only thing I changed is from brightness medium to low. So my wake time is higher than yours (screen is active more) but uses less nit/brightness than yours. Seems either set up will consume lower battery.
Brad, I appreciate you taking the time to go through your settings and confirming.

I set my SV to brightness low, Standby off, raise to wake low, and backlight off. Wearing it with 24/7 HR monitoring, and sleep tracking, I have a consumption of about 3% a day without recorded activities. In my opinion, that‘s great.
In the last weeks, after the last maps update, I noticed a increased consumption, but now after a soft reset, it’s as usual again. I talked about it in another thread… -
The only thing I had different is:
backlight: off
brightness: medium (i have lowered it to low now yo see the impact)
standby: off
raise to wake: off
hr24 and sleep tracking : on (i need those one, i dont want to inactive it to gain battery, not worth it)i will give you some update abouy drainage, may be the brightness from medium to low will reduce the consumption… what do you think?

@Antoine-Lancrenon I can say I had brightness at Medium and Raise to Wake high, Standby off, Backlight off. With this I was seeing about a 10% daily battery consumption.
By switching to brightness at Low and Rase to Wake high, Standby off, Backlight off I saw 4% daily battery consumption. All other settings (24/7 HR, SPOx, notifications etc.) were left in the same condition as before and in the on state.
May be worthwhile to change your settings to see if it shows any difference. For me, the Brightness played a factor in battery consumption. Depending on what I plan on doing I may switch back and forth on Brightness but at least I can trace it to having an effect on the rate I need to charge.

Yes I’m in the same situation brand new Suunto Vertical fully charged at 6am down to 33% at 6pm. With no sporting activity during this period heart rate tracking on and notifications turned on. Surely there is something wrong??
