Fenix 6 pro - battery life time

Hi guys,

a week back I bought a Fenix 6 Pro Titanium. I am quite happy with all the new features but the battery life time seems very low compared to my old Fenix 5...

My configuration:

- pulseOX : disabled

- wrist HR : enabled (like Fenix 5)

- no GPS usage (no activities so far)

- 1 custom Europe map on device but not used at all until now

- usual notification amount (compared to Fenix 5)

- no music on device

- same custom watch face as Fenix 5

I am used to a battery drain of 7% per day. This results in approx 14 days of runtime. With the Fenix 5 I am experiencing about 10% per day. My question is if this is normal or is there anything else I can deactivate to get more battery lifetime out of the watch?

Thanks!

Bye

I have every thing enabled and I have between 14 to 12 % battery loss per day so far, I just put my watch on charge every 3rd day for about an hour until fully charged. I am very happy with the Fexix 6…

7% a day equates to the advertised 14 days. I think you are good.

No, because at the moment I have 10% per day on Fenix 6 (7% per day was on my old Fenix 5). That is why I am asking :)

For Fenix 6 or Fenix 6x? Also, have you disabled any other "features"?

I am very happy with the Fexix 6, so much nicer than my Fenix 5. GPS is almost perfect (about a maximum of a 2 foot error on the same road I have run for years)

I hope that they will improve the firmware of the new Fenix 6 series to optimize the battery consumption. 14 days of battery life is the main reason I wear a Garmin watch sice 2 years

music on device

i wonder music stored on device have any effect on watch? it seemed to me that after syncing with computer, battery drain faster (1%/h). Not sure music s the reason

"NO music on device", so this is not the reason on my end :)

Hi guys,

When you talk no matter 7% or 12% "a day", is it a full day wearing (about 24 hours, include sleeping), or the day time wearing?

Thank you.
