but if you display your altitude that's going to keep the barometer on, and same with heart rate to a certain extent
I do use heart rate right now and I thought that this could be the culprit. There's not that much useful alternatives for the info boxes so I picked this. How bad is it? Is it holding the watch in active as well - that's what I guess.
What kind of battery life are you getting?
around 60 hours right now. :/
if they're receiving notifications from a phone and they leave unread messages, the messages widget flashes every second and uses a lot more power
Yeah, I read that, that's why I uninstalled the widget. :)
Would like to have a nice watchface with action buttons and without battery drain. Did not find one so far. Pebble++ is the closest

It's very cool to hear about BTHome being useful for you - I use it a lot here too.
What kind of battery life are you getting? You could definitely compare with a new Bangle running the same apps, but before you worry about hardware I'd do a backup and then a factory reset, and see if battery life improves, just to rule out software as that's the problem 99% of times.
Pebble++ shouldn't be much worse than Pebble - I use it here and get very good battery life, but you should be aware that some clockinfos can drain your battery a lot more than others... Displaying the date doesn't take any power, but if you display your altitude that's going to keep the barometer on, and same with heart rate to a certain extent, or if you have the clockinfo that displays seconds.
Also recently a few people noticed that if they're receiving notifications from a phone and they leave unread messages, the messages widget flashes every second and uses a lot more power (even if you can't see it because it's hidden until you swipe in Pebble++!).
