New Bangle.js 2, the battery only lasts about 12 hours.

I purchased a brand new Bangle.js 2, two days ago. As the title says the battery only lasts about 8-12 hours. I've removed any apps, updated the firmware, calibrated the battery and then did a factory reset. Nothing has changed the battery usage rate. Am I missing something? I love the watch but I feel like something isn't right with the battery life.

Sounds very much like that is your problem to me, and the solution in that case is in that message.

@LouFancy glad that sorted it for you!

@user158534 just ask on the forum with specific questions, but a new thread is better! Just use Bangle.getHealthStatus("day").steps to get a step count that resets at midnight
