7 hrs GPS out of 20 advertised = 35% 7 days watch mode out of 12 advertised = 58% Total = 93%
If you are ending the week at 25%, it seems you are actually doing better than advertised.
Ya battery life has actually been one of the things I like most about Garmin watches.. of course dull displays help that. Things I would consider disappointments (considering the price tag) include the ridiculous alarm snafu of 2017 and poor GPS performance in comparison to my old 920XT and an even an older Polar gps watch.

I can squeeze out ~3.5-4% per day on 7.10
I would rather charge mine two or three days earlier and able to use it
I was on 7,10 and notice I got a real loss in battery life. Around 20% per day instead of 10%. Back on the last Beta and it's normal again... But something to monitor anyway. I use the widget Batterygauge for that matter.
A couple of the upgrades have caused the watch to get some sort of trapped, process draining the battery quicker. I found if I powered off it stopped the issue.

This was for battery saving...it's good to know when you spend almost a month in the wood without access to power watch will last for a long long time. I'd say double the rated days from Garmin specs is possible.
I get between 5 and 6 days,the way i use the watch. But could make it much longer,or shorter :-) Slightly longer than my Fenix 3hr for the same level of activity and type of usage. All the best, Sam.
