Check for Software Updates
- Make sure your Coros Apex watch is running the latest software. New updates can fix bugs and improve battery performance.
- To check for updates, open the Coros app on your smartphone, connect your watch, and follow the prompts to install any new updates.
Optimize GPS Settings
- Using GPS can quickly drain your battery. Switch to lower power modes when high accuracy is not needed, such as UltraMax setting.
- Consider adjusting the GPS data recording interval. A less frequent interval saves battery but might reduce data precision.
Manage Notifications and Connectivity
- Frequent notifications can drain the battery. Limit notifications to only essential apps by configuring them in the Coros app settings.
- Disable non-essential connectivity features like phone notifications, when you're not using them, to save power.
Adjust Screen and Backlight Settings
- Reduce screen brightness and shorten the backlight duration in settings. A dimmer display conserves battery.
- Turn off the 'Always-On Display' if it’s enabled. Activate the screen only when necessary.
Use Power-Saving Modes
- Enable any available power-saving modes provided on the Coros Apex. These modes can significantly extend battery life by reducing performance and connectivity features.
- For less intensive activities, consider using basic watch mode to minimize power usage.
Avoid Extreme Temperatures
- Keep your watch in a moderate temperature range. Extreme cold or heat can negatively affect battery longevity.
- Store and use your watch in environments where temperatures stay within normal operating ranges.
Check for Battery Deterioration
- If your battery drains quickly despite optimal settings, the battery might be deteriorating. This can happen with age and use.
- Consider contacting Coros support for further diagnostics or to inquire about a battery replacement if the problem persists.
Reset and Recalibrate if Necessary
- If none of the above solutions fix the issue, a factory reset might help. This can resolve any software glitches causing battery drain.
- To reset, navigate to system settings in your watch and select the reset option. Be sure to back up any important data before doing this.
