Battery drain

gerasimos

@thanasis i don’t think watchface cause drain problems… only the background backlight , wifi / Bluetooth ON etch in watch time mode.
I have always off WiFi and Bluetooth and my watch connected automatically in my phone after first pair.
Everyday my setup:
Sleep tracking off
Blood oxygen off
Hrv tracking 24/7 off
Mobile notifications off
Brightness medium / standby off / raise to wake off / backlight OFF

Activities always performance everything ON

Also i have Ocean watchface still 33% from 1 November

thanasis

@gerasimos turning mobile notifications off is not
Something that I want to do and I don’t think that Suunto are calculating their estimations on such conservative an approach .
Thanks !!

Have you disabled main « backlight on » setting ?

@thanasis About 3% drain with this watchface for me… What happens if you disable BLE ? And reboot

martintrail

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos what is BLE?

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@martintrail bluetooth

martintrail

@gerasimos but if you have everything turned off, there’s no point in talking about it

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@martintrail the advertised battery is not with everything on especially backlight. That needs to be off.
So its up to 1 month and that does not include lets say 100 vibrations + notifications (backlight) per day.

the backlight is set to auto (wake to raise or how it is called)

turning off the BLE will disable the notifications i think, which i want to have. I have less than 100notificiations and the overnight it consumed like 6% (zero notifications, and turned face down , so the HR/ blood was off)

in the past this was not the case for sure. Also before the hard reset (which is did to test the other item i reported on the offset… which apparently is not related) the drain is significantly higher than before.

@thanasis well just to test the ble is not the culprit on that 14% of drain. Maybe its the notifications?

I dont think hard resets are going to help here so don’t waste your time with that.

Fully charged mine yesterday from 0%
9% lost in 24 hours without any activity.
No soft reset, just charged.

[edit]
24/24 HR on
notifications on
Sleep tracking on
SPO2 on
everything like when i purchased it at launch

today’s stats :
Charged from 0% to 100% on Oct 6th.
Today : 22% left --> 78% lost in total in 12 days
17% battery lost in 9h36 of GPS activity
So 61% lost for 12 days, non include GPS activity (avg = 5% / day)
.

today’s stats :
Charged from 10% to 100% on Nov 11th.
Today : 15% left --> 85% lost in total in 10 days
32% battery lost in 17h50 of GPS activity
So 53% lost for 10 days, non include GPS activity (avg = 5.3% / day)

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos (hello ), do you think it is in the normal range, please ?
In addition to my above settings (not changed), i also have raise to wake on and auto DND from 21h30 to 8h00.

If I have the backlight off, “raise to wake” on low: Does this affect the stated battery life in time mode only?

Besides the backlight setting I have disabed everything (24/7 hr off, blood oxygen off, sleep tracking off, notifications off) and it looks like it consumes about 5% of battery since monday when I received the watch and set it up. No exercise yet. Overnight I leave it on my desk and battery doesn’t drop a bit. So could be the raise to wake consume that much even on low brightness?

P.S. I also fiddled with the watch settings, widgets quite a lot these first days, so that added an additional hit to the battery but still…

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@Mff73 sounds ok for raise to wake + tracking hr + hrv etc.

gerasimos

maybe a feature “low consumption” battery mode for watchtime use could be useful , and the watch automatically use only necessary functions for ultra extended power management .
-just a suggestion

Nicolas Marseille

@gerasimos : there is an “power saving” mode which switch off everything else than “time”. Last summer my watch ran during more than 3 weeks, including numerous workouts, without any power charge.
