1% solar charge

So thats how many lux it takes for 1% 

Anyone know if it is possible to read out the current Lux input, not just the days total?

Nice, it can run FOREVER. :D

it depends on what the watch was running at the time or was it completely idle.

I am waiting for a sunny day in the UK to do a reference test when everything is turned off and I just leave it for an hour or so.

However, given that's its the UK it might be some time before I get an answer. :-)

To be sure, you mean 175 - 180K lux hours, right?

You have to restart your watch to notice that battery life increased?. I 've done also a test on a sunny day (during winter time). I got about 400k with the watch in low powermode. Battery level did not change, so i restarted the watch and saw the level increased with a few %. Maybe it's a software thing that battery level not gets updated by solar charge then?

Yeah you need total of 175-180 lux/hours to get 1%

Ok that's interesting, maybe Garmin should take a look at that.

1. It maybe a software bug not adding solar charge numbers to the battery % or maybe the solar actually didn't added any % and it was just an estimate error

The watch was on power saving mode with all things turned off...

I live in Iraq ... Sun is few kilometers away here

Clearly not a sandstorm day
