Battery drain🪫- Garmin Instinct 2S

Hi Fam,

I bought this beautiful Instinct 2S (non-solar) second hand. The previous owner didn’t use it much for 3 years.

I’ve been using it since couple of months now and what I observed is when I charge it fully, it shows 18 days of battery life. But it lasts 7-8 days only. I have tried resetting it, fully draining the battery and charging with low voltage to 100% but nothing seems to work.

I’ve got HRV on always on and Pulse Ox on Manual. Nothing fancy, system watch face (without second), Satellite on GPS only, I use it 3 times a week for running (maximum 2hrs weekly). No third party watch app or face.

Anyone had same issue and managed to fix it? Can you guys please advise what should I do to fix it? Thank you :)
