Brand new Fenix 6x Solar shows 15 Days of battery life remaining right after 100% charge complete when it should show 21 Days. Can you suggest what is wrong here please?

Thank you. In my case its just plain watch came out of box, completely charged and connected to phone and it shows 15 days remaining.

My best guess is the Pulse Ox is set to 'sleep pulse ox'. if you're not changing altitudes or tracking acclimation, turn that off.

That thread used to be pinned to the top, I don't know why it got unpinned. A new question about this comes up seemingly every couple hours

Turn off your pulse Ox for

This is the battery life with the Pulse Ox mode set to during sleep. If you turn this off in the settings, activity tracking, pulse ox mode, you will see your battery now say 21 days at 100%.
