P2D battery life suddenly dropped in the last 2-3 weeks

I have a P2D which I’ve been loving in the last several months. However, I’ve noticed something significantly less battery life in the past several weeks.

I have been using my P2D almost exactly the same since I’ve received it. Which is the same two watchfaces (TimeStyle and Squared 4.0), no health, and no weather. I’ve tweaked some notification settings here and there in the first month I’ve received it, but haven’t touched it in the past 3 months at least.

I was previously getting easily 4 weeks+ of battery life on a single charge. The battery would also charge very rapidly, like in 15-20 minutes.

Recently, I’ve noticed that the battery takes much longer to charge to full, like an hour or more. Plus, the battery life has dropped to about 1 week, or maybe slightly over that. I haven’t changed anything about how I’m using the watch, outside of the firmware updates that have been pushed recently.

Has anyone else experienced this? I’d be kind of surprised if the battery was already dying, since I’ve only had it less than half a year.

Thanks for posting! Could you connect to your watch and submit a bug report in the Pebble app please? We’d love to investigate this further :smiley:

Looks like your watch is stuck in a weird state! Try doing a factory reset and see if battery consumption is lower after that.

How the hell did you get 4 weeks of charge and 15-20 minutes of charging on P2D? I got 2 weeks and 1-1.5 hours out of the box, all the time, since I received them in the end of January.

Should I also do factory reset? Is it the same as loading firmware from recovery or it resets more “weird states” than firmware install?

I think it also depends on the options you set on the watch and app. Like certain watchfaces use more battery, health, backlight, etc.

But yes, I can easily get 28 days. Usually more, in fact. It’s awesome and I love my pebble because of it :joy:
