Fenix 7X Data Screen - what is this graph (bottom graph)?

Hi team

I've added a new data field to my fenix 7, however I am not sure what the data actually is?

If I long-press the data, it takes me to the solar widget however I can't for the life of me see how the data point on the watch faces correlates with any solar activity!

The graph seems random to me, and I can't seem to find any info online as to what it is! I put the watch in full solar for a few hours, and while it charged etc, the graph showed no activity.. so not sure it is anything to do with solar, even though the long-press takes you there?

Thanks for any insight!

It's supposed to be a solar graph.

However, as you noted, it's glitchy and often doesn't correlate with the chart in the solar widget. Hopefully something they'll fix at some point.

Just now, I've been sitting inside, with practically no light watching Youtube vids, and it is showing lots of graph activity... so very, very buggy if that's the case! Thanks for replying.

In my case it responds reasonably.

But I have a similar question. What is the other field that also seems to signify something with solar charging? You can also add it top or bottom of similar watch faces. The round logo looking like a sun with what looks like a progress bar around it.I have not kept it on for long enough to see what it signifies.

Its how much sun its taking in, it changes if you have it in the sun for a little while, try and you'll see how it works.

Thanks, I've turned it on and will check over the weekend and compare to the other one, which I have at the bottom now and see what makes more sense for my use.

It will get some sun in my run this afternoon and a lot of sun over the weekend.

The same happens to my graph. It is nothing like the solar graph in the widget. I am not using it, I use the solar icon that diplays the solar intensity.

Works as expected for me. Couple of hours of winter sun today resulted in this.

I am still trying to figure out the numbers in the widget though. To achieve the Garmin battery life of 22 days, do I need the widget to show 50k lux or 150k per day?
