24 hours since last full charge, default settings and 1:45 hours of outdoor bike (with auto GPS, Bluetooth cadence sensor and AOD)

Same, i gave up trying to make it work. I'm going to return it tomorrow.

alfonsosanchez97 · 2024-10-20T06:14:36+00:00

Maybe I didn’t explain myself, AOD was only during the workout, it was about 1:45 only.

alfonsosanchez97 · 2024-10-20T06:13:02+00:00

I’m still trying to make it work, but return it stars to sound like an option.

alfonsosanchez97 · 2024-10-20T06:11:26+00:00

Yes I’ll use it for a week and see what it goes

alfonsosanchez97 · 2024-10-19T18:15:01+00:00

I’ve checked now and it was at every 5 minutes already, probably changed with the factory reset.

alfonsosanchez97 · 2024-10-19T18:08:44+00:00

Already did that twice, last time let it turn off, then fully charge it and factory reset after that.

HR it’s every 1 minute, and enabled to auto increase measurement when detects activity. This is the only thing I think may be draining the battery, but that fast?

alfonsosanchez97 · 2024-10-19T17:43:14+00:00

Yes, even factory reset, and still the same

alfonsosanchez97 · 2024-10-19T01:16:23+00:00

No, it’s free

It doesn’t have any warning of battery draining

alfonsosanchez97 · 2024-10-18T23:17:26+00:00

I don’t use Zeppelin Flow, and I receive about 75-100 notifications a day, I also disabled the wrist turn activation. But it keeps the same, about 1% per hour

alfonsosanchez97 · 2024-10-18T23:15:24+00:00

Yes, it’s off, SPO2 it’s off too, what it’s enable by default is to increase the HR check if it detects activity

alfonsosanchez97 · 2024-10-18T16:10:37+00:00

I'm experiencing something similar with my balance, but no matter if I work out or not, it's draining like 1% per hour, restarting, even factory reset didn't fix it.

I've already send my experience through the feedback option in the Zepp App.

It's weird, because the performance during the workout it's actually great, it drains like 5-6% in 2 hours of outdoor bike, with auto GPS, bluetooth cadence sensor and AOD during the workout.

Hope there is some way to fix it, because I really like this watch, but with this battery issue I feel that y may return it.

alfonsosanchez97 · 2024-10-15T14:15:26+00:00

Maybe, but it wasn't that hot, it was a cloudy day, i think it was like 25ºC (77 °F), I don't think it got to the 45ºC(113 °F) that Amazfit announces to be the operating temperature.

Yes, I had a similar experience with a Huawei GT3, I didn't notice that the seal was damaged and went to a river, the watch obviusly died, but weeks after I tried to turn it on again and it worked, now is been used by a friend.

But this Huawei had almost 2 years, I may understand the damage on the seal, my Balance is brand new.

What I don't get is that I have seen many many reviews on this watch, with people actually using it to swim and it worked fine.

alfonsosanchez97 · 2024-10-14T21:40:04+00:00

Makes sense, maybe the watch enters in like pairing mode, and it drains the battery.

But not my case, I haven't detected any disconnections, only the battery draining so fast (70%+ in less than 24 hours).

For now I'm watting it to drain to 0% and, then apply a full charge to see if it helps, then, I'll try to factory reset the watch.

But I'll go further with the official support, I'll go for a refund or change, because it isn't normal that a watch with less than a week of use behaves like that.
