Gear Fit 2 pro battery drain (July 2019)

[userAR0vu97Dq4]

Bought a Gear Fit 2 Pro few months back. From last week, all of a sudden, the battery's been draining out much faster than expected. End up getting 8 ~ 10 hours battery if lucky, compared to two days from before.

Tried a factory reset but no effect.

Battery usage is showing 40% for steps. Tried a force stop on the steps app, upon reading about it in another thread, but no effect.

Your heart rate monitor will extremely use your watch battery. when I first got mine I kept it off. I could go days without charging, now that I am using it, I have to half way charge it everynight.

But I used to get two days even with Always HR on before.

Same I could go 2 days with it always on then on Saturday the battery only lasted a few hours when it was fully charged

So I took my gear to the service centre. Thankfully it was still covered under warranty. As per the technician they had to change the battery and the circuit board. I have my gear back now, am using it with below settings and the battery life is now back to normal.
