Fenix 7 Battery drain

Hi All,

Experiencing huge battery drain with the Garmin Fenix 7. I’m using the backlight at 20% with a 4 second timeout, gps only, pulse ox on manual, music off, wifi off and software version 10.43. I’m getting 8 days out of a full charge, is anyone else experiencing this?

Maybe you have a ton of data fields during activities? Wrist gesture on etc? I tend to put battery saver on so I disconnect from phone wife Bluetooth... that can add alot of days of power. Watch will sync fine when battery saver off.

I get about 8 days with most things on and about 10 hrs of activities which I find more than acceptable.

Hey, yeah that sounds pretty good to me. I’m getting 8 days with no activities. I’m injured at the moment and bought the watch to cheer myself up. It says 18 days on a full charge but I’m getting 8. I’ve tried all the settings still no change. It’s only 2 weeks old, brand new out the box

I’m not using it for activities yet as I bought it to cheer myself up as I’m injured. It’s draining this much without them. It says 18days on a full charge but I’m getting 8
