Hey. I just got the versa 2. Losing 10% battery charge over one night is not really starting out strong. I discovered one possible reason tho: even though I turned off the heart rate monitor the sensor is blasting away every time I look at the underside of the watch. 

Why? How can I turn it off for good? It doesn't fare well for a tech company if I tell my wearable to shoot doing something and apparently it just stops displaying the data it gather me...

Hi @MrBlaTi - your battery life won't be more than 6+ days, so 10% per night seems fairly reasonable, though it does depend more on other options chosen than heart rate.

 

If you turn off heart rate there are lots of things that will no longer work. It would be better to eliminate things you don't really need such as Snore detection or SpO2 etc.
