I had the latest September update that now tracks bicycle automatically. Love it. But I find my battery drains 30% in 8 hours, during my sleep. I made sure I closed all recent apps before going to bed. Does anyone have that issue?

I am finding its about the same 2.5 days with 15% left.

Best to do a Clear Cache Wipe.

I tried the clear cache (within the watch partition and on the mobile) and factory reset (no app installed) . Both failed. Today i woke up with 50% left (9 hours)

Just to update: FYI - for ref: the Wear ver: R920XXU1BWH3

What I've done so far in addition to clear cache and reset:

1. Uninstalled apps one by one and observed - same result battery drained

2. I noticed on my watch the sleep mode icon is displayed on the top of the watch despite it's no longer in sleep mode (sync with phone is set to off). To get rid off it, I had to toggle it to 'On' then toggle off. The sleep mode icon then disappeared.

 

Since I got rid off the sleep mode - I was at 32% last night at 10 pm, hoping the battery would drain to 0 before I fully charge (as recommended in the forum to reset the battery), it's now 10 am, 12 hours on and the battery is down to only 14% (18% drain in 12 hours compared to 40% drain in 8 hours previously)

 

For now it looks like the Mode feature is the culprit....

I am also facing same issue after recent update. My watch used to give me almost 45 hours. Now it's over by 6 hours. No settings change. To me it looks like always connected BT is draining battery... setting the BT and wifi off the battery life is improved. But now its not a companion device for phone.

Mine is now back to normal. A bit better actually, since the mode settings was disabled. Now it tracks walking and cycling automatically with map although delayed. But it's a much better improvement 👍

I am facing the same issue on the first day watch needed 25 percentage battery.Once it reach 75 Percentage, then the battery is draining fast ; reaches 35% in 2-3 hours. I think Samsung galaxy watch 6 has a problem.
