Shown values Power Mode against reality / Survey

And another question ( I have asked this in another thread (was not the topic):

when you are doing an activity, for example a hike, do the shown values for battery life in power mode match with the reality?

For example: my used power mode is showing 64 hrs for a hike, after 3 hrs of real activity, it is only showing 58 hrs. Thanks

This was only a theoretical test (device laying outside unter free sky). Battery went down from 97 to 87% in 3 hrs . (3,33%/hr), but Power mode went down from 64 to 58 hrs. Was cloudy, no sun for gaining battery available (Fenix 6x Pro Solar).

I know, it is the estimated battery life in the used Power Mode, but a deviation of about 50%? What is your experience?

Haven't paid attention to that level of detail but I would say it's meeting the estimate.

I charged it to full on 9/5. Daily wear w no SPO2, puts my estimate at 23 days (4.75% per day). Custom run mode puts estimated battery life at 63 hours (1.58).

Daily wear drain based on estimates -57%

Drain based on activities -15%

Total expected -72%

Actual -75%

That's with a bunch of initial set up stuff (changing watch faces, configuring activity data screens, etc).

I find the % drops faster initially (nearer 100) than later.

There is a battery wigget that tracks the % change over time if you want to try it.
