Hello everyone, I've recently switched from a watch active 2 to Watch 7 (big jump). Why can't I turn off sleep mode directly on the watch if the watch is disconnected from the phone.

It seems repetitive if you keep the sync modes and routines off to have to do each separately.

Also, is it normal to drain almost 30% charge during sleep?

Thank you

I have both the watch 4 and 6 and never had more than say a 15% drain on sleep recording. I would call 30% a bit excessive during sleep.

If you have modes synced between the watch and phone, both should turn off when turned off on either device - if they are connected. If the devices are not connected, you have to turn the mode off on each device. Why would they not be connected? Do you have remote connection turned on? It is perfectly normal to have a 30% battery drain during sleep. That's when the sensors are most active, the watch backs up and 6-8 hours have elapsed. This is why backup will not happen if there's less than 30% battery when you go to bed.
