Also have similar issue on 6x Pro, with wifi also no longer working. How did you guys manage to contact Garmin? I tried their landline and email support but have not received a response after multiple follow-ups. Too bad I'm in CT so can't do a walk-in. 

I called their landlines, had no issues getting through

eina! but then considering what the fenix 7 costs.

feedback i charged my watch 100% yesterday... had an activity time of 4:48:48 its currently on 71%. Seems a bit much than what i can remember, will monitor and see i could normally get just over week on 1 charge with no activities.

I'm down to 43% no activity which is way more than normal.

Wondering if it's not the new garmin connect perhaps got something to do with it. Open connectivity or something

Ye maybe, I never thought of that. 

 

I'm going to send the unit to Garmin tomorrow and see what they have to say. 

 

I'll keep you guys posted

Ye not bad, definitely an upgrade. But still it's pretty poor for the battery to have already failed. I'm maybe thinking I did something to it during charging or something. But ye not bad
