battery notification

Why doesn't the Fenix Pro notify me in some way when my battery is getting low? I didn't spend $1300 Canadian on a watch that does not give me a heads up as to when I should charge it. Has anyone found a way to have it notify?

    It does, I get a notification at around 15% (2 days) estimated remaining battery, but you can change the warning threshold.

    Hold Menu > Power Manager > Battery Saver > Low Battery Alert > 2 Days (or whatever you want)

    You're too kind.  I'd just say RTFM:

    Customizing the Battery Saver Feature

    The battery saver feature allows you to quickly adjust system settings to extend battery life in watch mode.

    You can turn on the battery saver feature from the controls menu (Viewing the Controls Menu).

    1. Hold MENU.
    2. Select Power Manager > Battery Saver.
    3. Select Status to turn on the battery saver feature.
    4. Select Edit, and select an option:

      • Select Watch Face to enable a low-power watch face that updates once per minute.

      • Select Music to disable listening to music from your watch.

      • Select Phone to disconnect your paired phone.

      • Select Wi-Fi to disconnect from a Wi‑Fi® network.

      • Select Activity Tracking to turn off all-day activity tracking, including steps, floors climbed, intensity minutes, sleep tracking, and Move IQ events.

      • Select Wrist Heart Rate to turn off the wrist heart rate monitor.

      • Select Backlight to disable the automatic backlight.

      The watch displays the hours of battery life gained with each setting change.

    5. Select During Sleep to enable the battery saver feature during your normal sleep hours.
      TIP: You can set your normal sleep hours in the user settings on your Garmin ConnectTm account.
    6. Select Low Battery Alert to receive an alert when the battery is low.
