🫏 Garmin Fenix 3 Battery Draining Fast

Had the Fenix 5s for 1 year now. After reading other posts it looks like others have had the same issue. The forum is now blocking new posts because the problem was “resolved” with 14.20. Battery used to last a week, decreased to 3 days and now is down to 1 day without an activity. Backlight is at 5% and Bluetooth off. I'm looking for a solution to my Garmin Fenix 6 Pro battery draining extremely fast. Here's what I did for the solution: 1- Hard reset. I turned off the clock. I held down the two buttons on the right as it booted up. I let go of a key after the first beep. Other button after second beep. Why is my Garmin watch losing battery so fast? Backlight: Can be the biggest contributor to battery drain. How bright the backlight is set and how often it comes on can drain battery more quickly or less quickly. Having backlight set at 100% will drain a lot of battery while the backlight is on. EDIT 2: After 95% it returned into the quicker drain. I will give it one more charging cycle. if that doesn’t help I will return it. EDIT 3: After chatting with the Garmin support I uninstalled the Battery Widget (of course they want to rule that out) and did a hard reset. The first and second days seemed great (5.6% a day without GPS). Hi All, I just charged my fenix 6 for the second time. First charge lasted about 10 days. Great. This morning I had 14 days charge. I had to take watch off at 9 am and left on the side until 6pm. I was shocked to see only 3 days left. Now its 2 days left 2 hrs later having put it back on and logging a 20 min cycle back home.

I was using it connected to phone and to monitor my heart rate all day, and it would last 2 days. Including monitoring my training twice a day. Since the update I have had to turn off Bluetooth and HR I did charge to 100% before setting it up, the battery surprisingly when arrived was completely drained, usually you'd want battery at around 50% for storage. As I was kind of checking things out on the watch the battery went from 6 days to 5 to 4 to 3 and when I went to bed it went down to 2 and 1. Solar Charging. 21sthebest over 1 year ago.
