Battery Life Anxiety

Well, this is the first week where I got battery life anxiety and actually recharged mid-week (normally only charge once a week and still have around 50% battery life - and that is with approx 1hr per day of tracking too). It is also the first time in a long time that I have taken a watch cable with me on a week's holiday.

But then I was tracking +2hrs of activity every day (yes mainly GPS); and when I did recharge was around 50%. And then this morning when put on recharge was around 55% so all told might have just made it. But was quite novel having to worry about battery life for the first time in quite a while.

Not an issue for me, as this will only happen a couple of times a year, which way out weighs the cons of the F7 MIP screen.

I just had the opposite situation, due to heat wave and temperatures above 35°C I took time off running and pulled full 2 weeks on one charge and still had 25% left.

Normally I charge also once a week and it consumes about 50% with 3 one hour GPS activities (mostly with music).

I am getting at least on par battery as with F6.

normally I don't have any issues as when I recharge on Monday usually have between 42-52% and that is with approx 1hr per day (sometimes a little bit more sometimes a little bit less). Big difference is usually on wednesday its with offline music - so if I do or don't do that it makes a big difference.

Issue with my holiday was did a lot more tracking than usual. Also didn't help that previous watch was F6x which was good for 3 weeks and tracking consumed far less than Epix, as most of my profiles track with AOD on (my choice).
