Sometimes simple light settings can save or use a lot of juice. Yes, I know about gps and light settings. I’ve been wondering about battery drain of different widgets, apps, and keeping the watch on stopwatch or timer screens. GPS is the obvious killer. Added battery level alerts to music syncing. Changes made from version 15.40 to 16.71: Added a time zone option for Beijing. Fixed a battery drain issue related to pairing an inReach device. Fixed an issue with the drawing of golf greens. Fixed a potential issue with altimeter data during rapid ascent or descent. But don’t over customize the face, as it drains the battery more quickly.

My fenix 5s sapphire loses ~3% battery while I Restart Fenix If your Garmin Fenix is not fixed after several methods. You should look at its software issue. You can fix it by restarting your device. Because if your Fenix device has software glitches it can be the reason your watch is not charging. Restarting a device is also helpful if your device is slowing down or crashing apps. The biggest power drain is potentially the backlight, so it's worth checking the backlight settings. Each 10% backlight draws about 1.5% of battery per hour, so 100% backlight will deplete the battery VERY fast. I find 10%-20% backlight works fine. Also check the length of the time-out period. .
