Hi All,
I've read some posts here and on reddit, trying to find like-cases but am coming up short. I've just concluded testing the battery life of my brand new fenix 6x pro solar and am rather disappointed. Before I take it to garmin, I tried to see if I can find tests suggesting what sort of % impact certain features have on the battery life.
My settings are 100% stock out of the box, including the watch face, and I only remember making the following changes:
- PulseOx measurements are set to measure only at night
- Bluetooth always on and connected
My battery test results are as follows:
- almost exactly 10 days of smartwatch mode battery life
- no gps activities
- no solar exposure
From my understanding, I got less than half the battery life advertised for non-solar exposure. I've been unable to determine to what extent the nighttime pulse ox impacts the battery.
Can anyone provide some insightful input or commentary please? Do I perhaps have a dud 6x?
