Anyone notice additionnal battery drain after upgrading their Iphone to IOS12? Or is it the latest Amazfit app update? Since at least two weeks, my watch will retain its charge barely 3 days when before I could get at least 5 days...

I think it is the latest Amazfit update. I use mine just as a Smart watch (no fitness stuff). Was getting 8 days before the update, now I'll get about 4.
Glad these things are tested....

It doesn't seem normal to me. Of course it depends on how many hundreds of notifications you have.
I've got GPS OFF, app notifications ON (WhatsApp, SMS, Calls), sleeptracking ON, no activities.
Charged the watch on sunday and now on thursday it's still at 100%. Maybe 10 notifications per day.
When I received my first watch, it was 0% straight out of the package. I charged it and it drained 5-6% overnight even with the watch OFF. Faulty battery. Returned the watch and got a new one. This one was 65% charged out of the package and is now holding up well.
Edit: Do you monitor heart rate? I don't.

Maybe I got it wrong. There's no such setting that I know of, but I never use activities that could use GPS on the watch. So GPS is off in that sense.
If you start an activity from the phone, it should use GPS on the phone and not the watch. Haven't tried it though.
It's dropped to 99% now. 1% sunday to thursday. Should I be worried?

Hi!
I got my new GTR 42 today. Big issue: battery goes down to 20% in three hours. I charged the phone twice already today (once when I unpacked it, once one hour ago), and it's the same issue.
I don't really see what I could do to make it better. Any idea?
Thanks a lot

try this

please see my post in another thread. Try it yourself and report if this makes any difference:
Hi, another user with GTR battery drain issues.
My newly bought GTR 42mm drained from 100 - 0 % in 4 days (no AOD, no HR, just Notifications & auto brightness). This was 1% per hour.
There, I read and tried few things, and this one seems to temporary patch the situation.
I unpaired and uninstalled all related apps (this is android user) and deleted the amazfit folder on the device. (read somewhere that there might me a corrupt settings file in there).
Then I installed some previous version of Amazfit app - current version on Play Store is version 3.4.4, and I found and installed version 3.2.0. Now my drainage fell from 25%/day to about 14%/day. I suspect that not the watch but the sh1tty app works in background doing god knows what and drains battery as hell. I did test with no connection to the phone (battery safe mode) and it was not draining single % for more than 8h.
This is not a cure, but probably will help someone until the chinese programmers do their job and release working sync software.

can you help me...
i got problem with my Amazfit GTR 47, after i use. i forgot to charge it, and when i charge, it stun on amazfit logo, and turn off again , and go back to logo.
I love my AMAZFIT Stratos. Uses it daily for one year now. During my last holidays i took it for a swim to openwater (sea) - as it is marketed as water resistent.
Some days after that the swimming the Stratos seems to turn of randomly. When it is the battery is draining in the instant. I can literally see the battery go down in 1% steps.
I read that the AMZAFIT Pace can be damaged by seawater as it is only IP67. Is the same thing true for the Stratos? Any way to diagnose my Stratos further or is it simply broken?

I've been to snorkling in the sea just the week before and found no harm to the watch. Looks like a faulty device. RMA it
Battery drain
Hi, I have exact same problem, which started 2 weeks ago. Eventually I left it charging for longer time and it seemed to be solved. But problem is now back.
Hope someone in this forum can help us. Tks.
Replaced the Strato with the GTS and the Pace (only for Running)

Hi guys. To the ones Who have the stratos 3,cab you tell how is the battery behaviour with external Bluetooth chest strap paired?
In stratos 2,it is awful
Unfortunately I have not managed to get it working with the polar H7 strap (I had read that the H7 worked fine with the Stratos 2). I tried to connect from the workouts setting in the accessories, it paired but but it doesn't connect...
Regarding battery life in general I had mine for 5 days and it is almost empty (it had 85% when arrived) Didn't use it very much and I turned GPS on max 45min. So it feels not much better than Stratos 2, let's hope it will improve with future updates

I have stratos 2 and I'm thinking about buying the stratos 3. However, my major doubt is the weak improvement in battery performance.
I had a Pace which died after I forgot it on at the Swimming pool. The Stratos 3 is much better in many ways. But if your Stratos 2 still works fine I honestly don't really see much upgrade

that's what I´m afraid of... The little increased battery capacity (290mAh to 300mAh) and my doubts about the consumption management when paired to an external bluetooth chest strap make me see it like a bad upgrade.
Maybe a "Stratos 4" will answer my expectations
I tried again and this time it connected to the Polar H7 strap. I only made a fast test (going for a 5min walk) but it seems that the battery consumption increases a lot with Bluetooth accesories. It went 8-9% down in 5 min.
I will update you when I do a proper workout but it seems that didn't change much from 2 to 3

thank you. In fact, that is a lot...
Here an update on this. I have been using it more regularly and the battery consumption has become very good. I get about 7 days of regular usage (including a couple of workouts using gps and external hrm). If I don't do any sports the battery life goes to 10+ days
Good afternoon everyone,
I have 2 questions about a Amazfit Verge I bought a few days ago:
Question 1:
- I have to pair the Verge 2 times to use telephone functions, I did some quick research and didn't find others doing the same. Is it ok to do that?
Question 2:
- The battery, for example, I charged the watch yesterday and woke up 5AM to go to work, now it's 4PM and the battery is already at 40%. Is it right? Is the 2 paired stances of the watch draining the battery that much?
Thanks in advance!!
