Hi. I am curious about the battery life of my mk1. It drains about 1% per hour. Is it too much? I charge it every 3 to 4 days, with heart rate on, bluetooth off, least back light, version6.0, activity tracking on. . What about yours?
That’s a bit high. You should be around .250 to .300 per hour. Now, that will change depending on your watch face. That can cause a greater drain.
I used to use some fancy watch faces but I have deleted them all. now I am using the very first default watch face, which I was told saves battery a lot. the big analog one. Any suggestions please? I charge it with a wall USB outlet at 2A. Is that a problem?
Mine drains at around 0.3% per hour just wearing it. I am using Big Time watch face and have Bluetooth turned and activity tracking on.
As an example, mine was at 100% at 11am yesterday when I took it off the charger. This morning at 7am it was at 94% (~6% in 20 hours). I then did a 98 minute dive an at 10am it was at 90%.
I used to charge mine in the car while I was driving to diving but Garmin Support warned me to only charge it from a computer or a Garmin branded wall outlet.
i have same problem with the new fenix 6 pro. Around 1%/h with only HR, BT and activity tracking. For my last Fenix 5s, with similar setting the battery could last for 10 days.
