Forerunner 165 battery suddenly draining in 20 hrs.

Forerunner 165. Battery used to last 3-4 days. This week it suddenly won't last more than 20 hrs.

It did do a software update this week. I haven't changed anything in terms of screen brightness or things that are turned on.

Has anyone had this. Is there anything to try to fix it?

Convince me not to return my Pace 3 for a Forerunner 165

Forerunner user for two decades. Made the leap to Coros a few weeks ago. Here are my gripes with the Pace 3:

Crazy battery life. Series 9

Damn that's impressive. My Garmin FR165 needs to be recharged like every 10 days. So annoying.

Garmin 165 Battery Life

Hello sa mga Garmin user dyan especially 165. I Just got my Garmin Forerunner 165 at suot ko siya almost everyday except pag naliligo. Normal ba na mas mabilis ma-drain yung battery kaysa sa claim nila? Sabi kasi nila tumatagal daw ng up to 11 days. Iniisip ko na baka mas mabilis siya maubos kasi la

COROS PACE 4 IS OUT!

Does the Pace Pro have an always on display? My Forerunner 165 had AOD and I'd have to charge the damn thing every 2-3 days. I run 4-5 days a week with dual-frequency enabled and the Pace 3 can last me a good week!
