Battery Life Issue not as good as Charge 5!

I just charged over to the Charge 6, was using the Charge 5 which was over two years old and was typically getting 6days of battery life, I don’t use GPS or maps. 

Now with the same settings on the Charge 6 I’m getting 4days max! Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I’m thinking it might be a product issue

Try resetting, but it may just be that since it is new, you are exploring features and accordingly have it doing more stuff than will be the case a few weeks from now. For me, it is probably 4-5 days (same as CH5). I say probably because I usually wind up putting it on the charger for about 15 minutes while getting ready for bed, so I estimate based on a drop of around 20% a day. I also tend to get a lot of autodetected walks and bike rides, but I've turned on GPS for those to avoid a big battery drain.

Thanks, but I’m not using anymore or less then the charge 5, I’m not even aware of any new features, other then the side button, anyway I’ve decided to wear both the charge 5 and 6 with notifications off to prove it’s a product/battery issue in the charge 6

I just got my Charge 6, charged it overnight and used it for the first time yesterday. By the end of the day I was at 22%. That can’t be normal from everything I’ve read. I’ll probably exchange it.

Yes I am getting a similar experience.  Not sure if a setting is doing anything.  Have it on dim and manual awake setting.
