  • I've done 2 test

    1. remove timer and app only draw 7 times (system called becase of disconnected message) during about 1:20 hour times screen like below

    result battery from 56 to 52% -> 4% -> 0,05%/minute (with timer 0,07%/m, watch face 0.014%/m)

    2. jogging with gps, df, bt etc -> 0:45 4% -> 0.089%/minute
