Watch defect? Battery weak, heart rate wrong, steps wrong

Lots of Fenix 7 users are reporting heavy battery drain aswell after 9.33 - Check the fenix 7 forum... The heart rate inaccuracy could be due to the bad placement of the watch - From what i can see the sensor is right on your wristbone .You can find guides on how to wear your watch to get the most accurate results. 

That was just for making the picture. I had my watch higher. I also tried my other arm but was the same. Fenix 6X worked for me

Ahh alright I was just assuming... But that sounds strange - People have been testing the old vs new sensor and the new gen4 wins every time.

I went hiking for 3 days and startet with 100%. Now I have 52% (same like my friend with his Fenix 6X). For me it was SatIQ. All in all 19h hiking in those 3 days. I thought Enduro 2 is a battery king?

Did you both also use the same configuration of the data fields ? Did you both call the same data page? Keep in mind that the battery consumption depends significantly on the data page that is constantly called. The MIP display consumes a lot of power when the pixels are constantly changing. So, for example, constantly displaying the map consumes a lot of power, while displaying the time (without seconds) consumes very little power.

Yes you are right, that can be a solution for that. I had maps open very often and had also a lot of data fields. In this case that could be the solution! Thank you! Battery „issue“ solved;-)

Ciao,

ok, lasciare visualizzata l'ora ti fa risparmiare batteria ma se compro un ENDURO è anche per non preoccuparmi della batteria anche mentre guardo costantemente le mappe. Quindi quando dicono più di 100 ore in tracciamento, bisogna saperlo interpretare

Instinct 2 is the battery king :)

No, look at GPS hours :-) 

I sold it and will buy the Apple Watch Ultra. Bye Garmin!
