It&#8217;s always in use and works flawlessly.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18899\" style=\"width: 207px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fenix-3.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-18899\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18899\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-18899\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fenix-3-227x230.jpg\" alt=\"Fenix 3\" width=\"197\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fenix-3-227x230.jpg 227w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fenix-3-473x480.jpg 473w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fenix-3.jpg 632w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 197px) 100vw, 197px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-18899\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fenix 3<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Fenix 3 Battery Drain<\/h2>\n<p>The only odd issue\u00a0I have with it is that sometimes and without any warning the battery seems to drain a little quicker than it usually does.<\/p>\n<p>A usual day with the watch being used to track a couple of workouts using GPS and several ANT+ devices and then used to track steps etc all day long, track my sleep at night and with it connected to my phone via Bluetooth would see the battery drain by around 15%. This means that I\u00a0only\u00a0have to charge it every few days and tend just to top up the charge for\u00a0\u00bd an hour each morning which puts it back up to 100%.<\/p>\n<p>However, every now and then the battery will drain much quicker than this, it might lose 50% overnight and I&#8217;m not sure why. Sometimes it happens just after a software update, other times it might be due to an unsuccesful bluetooth pairing. I&#8217;m not really sure what\u00a0causes it but the battery will drain really quickly and catch\u00a0me out. Thankfully the Fenix 3\u00a0has a low battery warning so\u00a0I&#8217;ve been able to recharge it each time it has done this, but I still don&#8217;t know what actually causes the Fenix 3 battery to drain so quickly.<\/p>\n<h2>Fenix 3 Battery Drain Fix<\/h2>\n<p>I have found however that the battery continues to drain quickly even after a recharge. All is not lost though as a simple reboot of the watch seems to fix the Garmin Fenix 3 battery drain issues. Yep, that techie golden oldie of switching it off and on again seems to do the trick. Just hold down the light button for a few seconds, select &#8216;Power Off&#8217; and let it shut down, and then hold the light button again to turn it back on again. So far, this simple reboot which only take a few seconds to perform has fixed the Fenix 3 battery drain issues on the rare occasion that it has become a problem.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also had one or two occasions where the watch has failed to pick up my Garmin ANT+ HRM.\u00a0Once again a simple reboot has fixed it. I realise that this is hardly a &#8216;fix&#8217; for an issue, but if you&#8217;re having problems with your watch, or any other technology for that matter, a simple reboot is always the first place to start.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love my Garmin Fenix 3 smart watch and without wanting to curse it, it has all been working well.
