There seem to be endless complaints about battery life issues on this forum, and when I noticed that my battery level dropped in a matter of hours by 20% or so, e.g. 50% to 30% I thought I was going to add to them.
But then I realised. I had been walking to the beat of many drums listening to the songs on the versa broadcast to my ear phones using bluetooth. That broadcasting would be energy expensive and must chew up battery life, hence the reduction. So if you are experiencing an odd battery life reduction it might be through using the watch for something other than basic time and step counting functions rather than a battery fault. Something to check maybe.
