Battery drain
-
Ever since the latest update, I am seeing significant battery drain with very little use. Since last recharge 3 days ago, I have 2 activities totalling 110 minutes. I have not work the watch all day and do not wear the watch at night. However, the battery is not at 34%. I can try and restart the watch but it seems something has happened with the latest update.

Just check if backlight is constantly on.
Then do a soft reset. Maybe the eMMC driver is in a state that has the eMMC powered up permanently. Soft reset should get you back.to normal.
Plus the watch maybe needs a few charging cycles to re-calibrate the battery - like after every FW update. -

I updated at about 60% then saw excessive drain throughout the rest of that charge (6% in one hour run).
It dropped all the way to 3% and I’ve recharged now to 100. Will see how it goes

Hi everyone, lately my vertical’s battery drops for no reason. I only use the watch for training, sometimes I find -20% less leaving it in the drawer, everything deactivated, latest firmware installed 2.35.34. I noticed this problem after installing firmware 2.33.14 already done soft reset 2 times. example: Saturday end of training 86%, Sunday without any type of use 64%, in one day 22%!!! it’s not normal

@Egika soft reset, I.e. a restart did not help. I will try to drain it out and then charge again. Let’s see.
-
I try a soft reset after the 2.35.34 update
-
current battery drain is roughly 1% per hour without use.

soft reboot (stop and start the watch basically) didnt work for me.
i had to reset the watch, you need at least 40% of battery, and it takes 10 minutes to do.
than youll have to set all the parameters into the watch again (like it was brand new from the store)
youll loose your maps installed etc…check your display setting: britness to law or medium, standby to off, raise to wake to low or off for me.
it did work for me. ill have to diagnose the watch after several days, but at least in the last 14 hours, i have only lost 1% with a 40 minutes activity gps tracking, seems ok to me now!

In 10 days without any activities…all daily gimmicks off - backlight off - wifi/Bluetooth off etc.Ill try a soft reset and one or two 0-100% charge to recalibrate software battery after Q2
Next step but i want to avoid hard reset.

@MeazzaS9 @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
maybe have better feedback for this problem. -
is it possible that the (in connectivity in the watch)
wireless network and discovery options.could impact the battery drainage?Once i have downloaded my offline maps, i have set to off the wifi and turn off the discovery, as my watch is already paired with my phone.
I will test and let you know. i am saying that, is that as soon I have reactivate the wifi from the app to the watch, i noticed the battery being drained again 4% a day or even more. I should be more around 1-2% a day.

Tengo el suunto vertical solar, los dias despues de la nueva actualizacion me gastaba 10% de bateria al dia, reinicie y cargue hasta el 96% y parece ser que problema solucionado, pero le dio el sol 30 minutos y cargo hasta el 100% cuando antes no hacia eso, alguien puede decirme si le ocurre lo mismo?
