FENIX 6 PRO (forecast 14 days --> 6 days)

Hi,

Lastly, I found that after full charge I see only 6d. Before (a few weeks ago) I saw 14d.

But it isn't connected to broken battery.

I did test:

08.02.2021 (Monday) - I charged to 100% and I saw 6d.

13.02.2021 (Saturday - 5 day later) I saw 82% and 5d. So battery has good condition. I think that watch with this level of batery should presents about 11d.

I have firmware 13.10.

Do you have any idea or maybe anyone have the same problem?

6x pro, charge is at 98% and I see 20d so all normal here on FW 15.20

Do you have PulseOx enabled? This drains battery pretty well and also the battery forecast a lot. Also Screen brightness pretty high and maybe enabled all the time?

Hi.

But I don't have problem with drain battery.

After 5 days baterry lost only 18%.

I have problem to show forecast days only.

Sure. But having features enabled like PulseOx will decrease the displayed forecast value. Thats why I'm asking if it might be enabled.

Obviously battery life is going to be impacted by what features on the watch are activated.

PulseOx and backlight settings are the major power drains in watch mode. So those are definitely worth checking. Especially if the backlight is being activated regularly by high numbers of notifications. I find 5-10% backlight is all that is required, and draws far less power than say, 50% backlight.

Many custom watch faces draw more power that the stock Garmin watch faces - especially complicated watch faces that cram a whole lot of information in.

Hi,

I switched off PulseOx and it resolved my problem

I have 85% and watch shows 11d.

Thank you very much.
