Worst Experience with the Pace Watch.

It was ok first 2 Weeks & then it started losing power very quickly hardly it will last 8 hours from 100 - 0 %.

The initial days of the battery will last till 5th day. I don't know what is the cause for this, but seriously its a disappointment for all Pace Users.
[Amazfit] pmcmm:
yes, unfortunately it is a rather common problem... I had my watch sent back under warranty two times with the same problem. I am using a third model for over a year now, with no problems. Perhapss there was a series of them produced with a faulty battery ?
[Amazfit] Remybr:
Possible fix

I would like to explain how I fix my watch. It was draining due the barometer sensor problem. I drop from the watch and the battery stop drain. But I use the sensor in my activities. So there's no way I mantein without it.

I try many way to fix like wash, bump, heat wit dryer, etc. and doesn't work. So I put in Barkeeper Friend mixed with water (a powder used to clean pan and inox steel), hold two hours, washed,wait dry and voila! The problem vanished and the sensor is working perfectly. I think the problem it's caused by oxidation and this method removed this oxidation.

There was no visible damaged in the sensor before it. So I don't know if work in damaged sensor

But, if you will remove forever the sensor, you have not to loose.

Sorry for my English.

Hello.

My stratos has battery issues too. It's annoying. While im going to sleep i've got 100%, and at the morning watch show around 80-75% battery. After turning on Airplane mode, next morning i get 100-99%... Wtf? I've tested the turning on airplane mode on the phone and turn on only BT, but results are the same. I've got iPhone SE

So it's a BT issues with software? My watch is brand new, bought 5-7 days ago. What can i do to extend battery life to around 4 days?
[Amazfit] yovierayz:
Maybe you can try to factory reset first, and pair it again without restore previous data
[Amazfit] fullje:
I did it couple of times ;) But i figured out why i've got battery drain. It's because my phone (iphone se). Last night i pair my watch with SGS3 and today morning its still 100%. So... what can i do?
[Amazfit] yovierayz:
I've never paired with ios, maybe amazfit app on ios any bugs
[Amazfit] techkiee:
Can pls elaborate on how you removed the mic module?

Thank you.
[Amazfit] cleristonm:
I will share with you my experience with drain battery in my Amazfit Pace. One of these days, I used my watch in the pool for 5 minutes. In this day my battery drains faster. Then I did not use my watch for 1 day and put it on rice for 1 day. After that, the battery consumption is normal.

I hope I have helped you.
[Amazfit] lfom:
You have just killed your watch: Pace is IP67, what means it is splash-proof only = no pool (no bath/shower/sauna either).
[Amazfit] cleristonm:
I know this, but I had to help my daughter in the pool at swimming school event and I forgot to take my watch. :D
[Amazfit] pmcmm:
Thanks for the info! How fast was fast battery drain? Users report drain in a couple of hours, was that the case? I had that in two watches, it could have been that...
[Amazfit] cleristonm:
Yes, also with me, in a couple of hours, my battery was drained too. It was a shame it happening with your two watches, but even so, I think to compensate buy an Amazfit Pace than other very expensive watches.
[Amazfit] pmcmm:
That's true. However i did not buy 3 watches, i just send the first two back with the same problem, and the third one finally worked. Ive been using for a year now with no problems. The other two got the problem pretty quickly.
[Amazfit] Sham1968:
My battery life is terrible getting about 6hrs on full charge roughly I miss the watch for cycling etc great piece of tech up until update 😥😥
[Amazfit] pefa:
Three years later and the same problem: when not worn or carried, the battery discharges at a normal rate, otherwise it lasts for only half a day,even if everything posible is switched off... When charged from the empty state, it almost immediatelly displays thenotification about battery fully charged, which is nonsense...

I tried to pair it with another phone, reset to factory settings, etc., but nothing (except for leaving it alone) does not seem to cure the problem...
[Amazfit] dersie:
Mean Battery Dead :(
[Amazfit] pcaffe2004:
My Amazfit Bip lost 30/35% of its battery (after a 100% fully charged) in a while. This occurs since I have to use the new app Zepp. Before that my battery last 43 days more or least. Now, since the last charge 20 days ago, I have 7% for at least 4 straight days. I mean that since 4 days ago I have 7%, it did not change since then. I´m experiencing this isse since the app change to Zepp. Can anyone help me? Thanks a lot. My name is Pablo and I´m from Argentina.
[Amazfit] AditSarda:
I also had this problem.. After 2 weeks my Watch suddenly had battery drain issues . I had to charge it everyday. Then I contacted the dealer from where I had bought it. They said that contact Customer care of Amazfit. I disconnected the watch from phone for few days and then when I charged again its battery is fine... It's battery was 100% for 12 hours when I left it then I wearing... Drain prob automatically solved... Before it got solved It got discharged 2 times in 2 days
[Amazfit] Northguybc:
I'm following the procedure to test the battery that Amazfit sent me. I charged to 100 % last night and will leave it alone in Airplane mode with my Phones Bluetooth off.

It's Pretty frustrating!
[Amazfit] sazinas:
Guys we might be on to something here.. Who else has paired their watch with Huawei phone and started experiencing battery drain issues? I have the same issue since I changed from my LG g5 to a honor 9
[Amazfit] VuDuCuRSe:
It's happening the same to me with an LG Nexus 5.
[Amazfit] Nostramo:
And to me with and iPhone 6.

It seems to be a software related issue....or that's what I hope. :rolleyes:
[Amazfit] Northguybc:
Is that working for you? I am doing the battery drain check sent from Amazfit. It was dead in under 12 hours yesterday. Today i am trying it with a different watch face. If that does not work i might try your's.

I'm scared to have to return it to Gearbest after reading the issues people have with them.
[Amazfit] Dzesper:
Yes, so far is it good like it was when i buy it, it had been 3 or4 days battery is holding just fine
[Amazfit] Northguybc:
Well I am going to shut mine off for a few days this morning then. Hopefully that helps.

I charged it to 100% and in 1.5 hrs it was at 67%. That's in airplane mode...Jeeeze
[Amazfit] Nostramo:
Does not work for me.

Device switched off and charged to 100%. Switched on a couple of days after. Battery at 99%....but about 27% drain in 9 hours. Same problem than before the experiment. :(

Huami should take care of this. The customer experience can refloat or sink a brand.
[Amazfit] astrarico:
Hello everyone,

I also have the same problem of the battery which is discharged quickly. First of all, the problem is related to a total discharge during a sporting activity (I did not see the notification that it had almost more battery)

After that, the battery remains about 8/10 hours. So after reading all that there was on this problem, I decided to remedy it. First of all I also tried to create a new IM account by not syncronizing the data. But doing that was always the same. After I tried to change the ROM from 1.33a to 1.2.32 REL25 Pacefied ROM. Which I subsequently passed in French as well as the app AmazfitWatch 1.7.2.2 in French it too. But no change, the battery will always discharge as quickly. So the coup, this weekend, telling me that anyway the watch is dead .... I decided to open it. To take the type of battery used by huami.

I have everything to disconnect to be able to acceder this battery and going up everything. The battery has returned to normal but when it is used, it has the force of rapid discharge. So I conclude that actually a cycle of data has not been finished so the watch has to start again eternally for nothing, which empties the battery. I recharged my battery last night and before it needed 2 times a day to make the whole day. While today she holds 3 days. By cons I can not find replacement battery even by having browsed internet with the reference.

If certain want type

PL372427V. But it can not be found

If it can help someone because I have been looking for a long time.

Sorry for my english more than average. Google is my friend!!!!
[Amazfit] Scraf23:

Disassembling watch to change battery

Hello,

As I understood some people already disassembled the watch to change the battery. May someone post on Youtube a video on how to, to not damage watch of possible? Or write instructions here on advices with some photos? That could be really useful as, I've one and went swimming with just like 10 minutes and not deeply then was thinking wouldn't have any impact, but since it my battery is really draining, but I like that watch, then would like to repair it. I ordered the battery from link posted, just would like some help for the replacement of the battery. ;)
[Amazfit] Scraf23:
Is easy to open the watch?

I have battery drain too :/
[Amazfit] VuDuCuRSe:
Guys,

there is no evidence that the problem is the battery getting worn-out, thus needing replacement.

Unless there's a production problem, these batteries should last for thousands of cycles, which shouldn't be possible with a watch that has been on the market for a few months.

Also, batteries don't get worn-out over the night, like most people claimed. They gradually lose their capacity. My Nexus 5 is almost 4 years old and the battery is holding around 70% of the original capacity, after being recharged at least once a day.

This is most likely a software bug.

I noticed the discharge rate was acceptable when the phone was out of reach of the watch.

I tried forcing that, by setting the Bluetooth off on my phone, but the amazfit app still managed to sync data and the watch wouldn't show the "disconnected from phone" icon.

Something is really off, but I'll keep testing.

The rest of the guys, save yourselves from voiding the warranty and ruinning the small water resistance the phone has, by opening it.
[Amazfit] astrarico:
No, I confirm. Before unplugging the battery and all parts to remove it. The battery lasted 8/10 hours. Now it lasts 2 days. To recall my battery had made deep dumps 0% 2/3 times

And lithium-polymer batteries do not like it at all

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 PM ----------

Otherwise, to open it. I took :

-a hair dryer, to heat the contour of the watch.

-a scalpel, to slide the blade between the two parts.

-a flat screwdriver, very thin, to spread the two parts.

After that we have to be aware of what we do ...

Attention because after the contour of the watch still remains marked
[Amazfit] Nostramo:
Not in my case. In airplane mode, 30% battery drain in barely 12 hours. I thought was a communication problem, but it seems not. And the integrated compass still doesn't work.

Tired of testing situations again and again, day after day, I have requested the dealer for a refund, and I am going to NOT recommend any Huami product anymore. This problem is known from months ago...and no official solution at all. Unacceptable.
[Amazfit] axxoaus:
Do you have a magnetic strap? If you do, remove it and try the compass.
[Amazfit] astrarico:
Scraf23, I confirm ewisetech.com do not sell battery. So currently I'm still looking .....
[Amazfit] Macguyver1980:
Indeed, on that website, what they sell is the image in fact only of the battery in better definition... ;(
[Amazfit] Nostramo:
You're right. The magnetic strap was interfering with the compass. I don't know how I didn't realize it before.

Thank you very much.

Anyway, the really important issue, battery drain, still remains.
[Amazfit] fzelle:
Maybe that is connected.

You were trying to use the compass, but somehow the sw wasn't able to determine why it wasn't working and made an endless loop.

Reboot the watch and test again with a non magnetic band.
[Amazfit] nizzamms:
From 21/7/2017 i love this watch and no problem detected, until now on dated 19/08/2017 it began lose power quickly , the problem happen on 3rd day last charge (19/08/2017), i still remembered the watch have 54% left, suddenly when i woke up in the morning (20/08/2017) i ask to myself why has no daily morning alarm i set it up. I notice my watch is dead, i thought maybe some bug , and i cannot find my charger so next day (21/08/2017)before i go to sleep i recharge to full 100% , but next morning it has lose to 85%.. so, for 6 hours i lose 15%..something is really wrong, another thing if i just browser menu from the watch it will lose 2 or 3 percents,

After a full recharge it will change from 100 to 99% in half hour(no bluetooth or notification alert), on average of 1 hour the watch will lose 2%-3% and it will lose quickly if i browse menu or by awake the watch.

My Amazfit is English version Rom 1.3.3a

i hope someday Huami or others can make app for check battery performance ..

today(22/08/2017) as i write this post my watch is 49% on 14hours after last recharge, no bluetooth or any other notification is on

so for those who read my post with still good watch battery..can u tell me if u charge fully 100% , how long it will change to 99% in idle mode, as a benchmark for good battery
[Amazfit] massari123:
Mine I'm testing now I received couple days ago which Chinese rom so I hv to convert to EN Rom I did if today but then I experienced 10% drop in battery in one hour before I converted I had it for couple days and the battery was very okay no issue at all but now I'm worried

But other thing to keep in mind which people are forgetting is you must keep check which charger adapter you are using and voltage it can spoil the battery fast
[Amazfit] droidhd:
Don't worry about 1st% drop, its pretty normal. Today (my second charge) I had 10% drop in 6 hours. I did restart watch and I am on 88% after 12h since last charging. I had 20-25% drop yesterday in time of running + music (30minutes), but I guess thats aint something to be afraid for. Tomorrow I will do run with separate music, not from watch itself.

Seriously, sometimes just off and on helps, if not try to calibrate battery (there are plenty of tutorials how to recalibrate battery) or simply hard reset watch. Keep in mind that more activities you keep on watch, more battery will eat every time, when you sync watch with app.
[Amazfit] xic0amaral:
88% after 12hours?? i've got mine amazfit pace, no notifications, no bluetooth, no GPS or sports. New account, new sync with an ipod 5, and i've got 86% right now after a full charge 3 hours ago. I had the amazfit pace syncronized with Galaxy S7 Edge for 3 weeks with no issues at all, since last week a full charge can last up to 10 hours. Can please someone help me solve this issue? I've already made a factory reset and the issue persists. Amazfit version 1.3.3a
[Amazfit] droidhd:
No BT, no sport (since last charge), second full charge
[Amazfit] Nostramo:
That's what I thought, that compass could be entered in a loop. So, I have changed the strap for a non magnetic one, charged the watch to 100% and tried. After 9 hours from charge, with normal use (no GPS, no WiFi, no continuous HR and no BT music), the battery is at 77%. Therefore, the battery problem is still there.

The last try is to do a hard reset and initialize and pair the watch again with a non magnetic strap. Honestly, I don't think the problem is going to disappear. Love this watch, but disenchanted with the actual performance. Worked well the first two weeks only :(
[Amazfit] Vinnie1:
I'm in the same boat as everyone above.

Was thinking about opening it up, as my draining started one day when I came back from the beach and it may have got immersed in salt water. I was hoping to clean up whatever may have caused it, but it may be a sw bug like suggested above.

I don't really want to buy another Pace with the same problem, but does anyone know if Huami has a newer model coming out in the near future??
[Amazfit] Northguybc:
I had to return mine today. Shipping back to Gearbest. (That's costing quite a bit) First the battery issues, then the heart rate sensor died. Mulituple factory resets and no change.
[Amazfit] Nostramo:
Mine has been shipped right now back to GearBest, too.
[Amazfit] kaiserik:
Same problem here.

1.3.3a US version.

I received mine yesterday. Battery was at 0%. I charged it completely.

Was playing during all the day with, that's why I didn't pay attention to battery consumption.

No Sport, Only Notifications. I was at 20% yesterday evening. I began to look on the net and found this thread. So i decided to make the test.

Factory restore yesterday. Delete Amazfit app. Reinstall. Relink with watch with new account (no data to sync).

Fully charge 100% yesterday evening. Put in airplane mode. Also my phone was in airplane mode (no BT). This morning the watch was at 60% after 7 hours. It's crazy :(

Also my compass doesn't work. It loaded with the red circle at the center for 3-4 seconds, and after it shows N/S/E/W but alway with the North up, even if I turn the watch.

You guys having the same problem, it happened suddenly ? And worked perfectly before ? that's strange...
[Amazfit] VuDuCuRSe:
Regarding the compass, it uses a magnetic sensor to determine the magnetic north, if you have a magnetic bracelet it will interfere with the sensor readings.

On the abnormal battery drain, yes, the sleep period is the most obvious way to notice something is wrong. You don't use the watch and the phone connection doesn't change, so it is the best day-to-day testing scenario. And in my case, it changed from using less than 10% over night to draining over 30%.

And it was sudden, not a tipical several weeks/months of gradually deterioration of the battery life.
[Amazfit] kaiserik:
Thanks for your answer.

No magnetic strap. Only the original one.

Only air pressure is loading on this screen. All the other items remain empty.

Is this problem related to a specific date for everyone ? Nothing to do with the firmware apparently ?

For the moment, I will keep charging everyday and will wait... maybe a firmware update will resolve this problem...

As it seems related to data sync, is there any possibility to prevent the watch to sync the datas ? From my side, I'm just using the notifications and I'm not sleeping with the watch (Mi Band 2 was sized ok for that but not the Pace, I feel it too big when sleeping) so no need to sync anything.

How come that it is on the market for more then 2 Month and we haven't seen it mentioned before?

Even on the facebook page it was just announced as "just announced"
[Amazfit] jcyaoo:
I got my from Gearbest since 8/4/2017; have been using it for three weeks. The battery life last for five days every week. I wear it almost 24 hours day and night and bed time. I am happy with the Amazfit battery so far. Comparing to my Huawei watch battery it can only last at most 18 hours.
[Amazfit] nizzamms:
VuDuCuRSe Method

before i send to my seller for my warranty claim, my last resort is try a VuDuCuRSe method

so i full recharge my watch and shut it down for two days, after i restarted it again, the watch seems to be normal,

in idle mode the watch manage to hold 2 or 3 percent for 3 hour, i get 86% for 14 hour,

but after i browse menu and test heart rate the problem arise again, in 1 hours i lose 3 or 4 % power in Idle mode, she rapidly draining power, i try full charge, and when i woke up next morning the watch consume 20% for 6 hour , is like the same problem again.

so my question is, how to get 3 or 4 days standby if u lose so much in idle mode ? for now, i also join the ship by sending back to my supplier,

Amazfit is a really amaze me and i love it for a month, but a battery failure is such a shame..
[Amazfit] VuDuCuRSe:
[MENTION=8496472]nizzamms[/MENTION] thanks for the feedback.

While we still aren't sure of what's causing the drain I'm more and more convinced that it's not the battery. I've been paying attention to the battery usage on the sports mode, while listing to music with Bluetooth headphones. That scenario should be the most intensive for the battery and the usage seems the same, 20-30% per hour.

Assuming it was battery wear, if the idle usage was using, lets guess, 3x the usual then, the same should happen in sports mode. That would mean it would take 60 to 90% of the remaining battery capacity. Since that's not happing, it can only point to a software problem. Most likely something is stopping the watch to remain idle and is consuming a lot of power even when it's not being used.

Too bad we don't have wake lock detectors and cpu usage monitoring tools for this watch.
[Amazfit] jcyaoo:
I only use my for notification, walk, run, sleep detection and GPS daily; walking/running with GPS for 1 hour daily, my battery last 6 days as of today. I don't use Music player.
[Amazfit] Northguybc:
I tried every method and the battery became erratic. Holding a charge and then fast drain. I noticed my heart rate monitor light was on even though i had continuous HR shut off. I tried to turn on and off the continuous HR to try and shut it off. I ended up factory reset to shut it off. Then the heart rate monitor stopped working altogether. I was then having issues with the step counter?? I would have to restart the phone to reset the step counter. I ended up shipping mine back to GearBest. Just so you know, Amazfit does not honor the warranty if you buy from GearBest or any other un-authorized seller. You have to go through who you bought it from. This is what Amazfit told me in a few emails. So i got stuck paying over $50 cnd. to ship it back to GearBest. (they would not pay for shipping) and they wanted a tracking number.

What a terrible way to treat a customer. Why would i want to buy from Amazfit or GearBest ever again? I mean the watch was only 2 months old...
