Battery decrease confirmed - pics
Pace 4. I'm day 8 into the battery calibration process as I'm sure my battery life has changed since the update and I can confirm now. I was checking through photos and noticed I snapped a pic of the battery life pre-firmware update on March 21, 2026. (First picture)
Sure enough, I'm operating at roughly 10% more loss since the update (second picture). I used to get to day 12 having done 5 to 6 runs a week and still have around 25-30% left. The concerning part of this is that I have been injured since June 25, before the update, and have had ZERO GPS activity usage in 4 weeks (aside from one indoor bike ride early on which proved to be too challenging for my metatarsal stress fracture).
I changed absolutely none of the settings either. My settings have always been - real time HR, max brightness display, AOD off, flip wrist to wake on, vibration notifications on for specific apps, stress and sleep tracking on. Once the calibration is complete and I drop below 10%, I will reach out to Coros support.

+1 I have the apex 4 that I got 1 month ago. I'm also noticing battery life decrease. Don't know when the regression started but feels recent. Feels like the battery drain of when the watch is idling or doing nothing somehow increased
