I'm curious what settings are required in order to get the Fenix 7X Pro to last the 28 days, as per the specifications...
For the life of me, I'm unable to get my Fenix 7X Pro to last more than 2 weeks. I lose a minimum of 5% on days without any activities and up to 8% on days with an hour or so of GPS. I have a couple of friends who also upgraded to the 7X Pro and they have the same experience. These are the US watches and don't have as significant of drain as the others are reporting here, but still this doesn't seem right. Even if I don't wear the watch for a day or two, the drain remains the same.
As a reference, I've had the Fenix 7X (Non-Pro) and can easily get 3-4 weeks. My Epix 2 Pro 51 (I know bigger battery) can last close to and a little longer than advertised, with the same usage patterns and settings as the Fenix.
When fully charged, my Fenix shows 33 days, but as the days go by, the numbers don't line up. My settings are: heart rate on, no pulse ox, battery saver has heart rate enabled and is active during sleep, with sleep watchface. Backlight for activity and general use are after sunset for keys/touch and gesture. I disabled the uploading of my settings, scanning for sensors, even connection to phone and wifi. I only use stock watchfaces, since the gesture doesn't work anymore without the backlight enabled for the CIQ watchfaces. I've hard reset, soft reset and even returned one for a new watch. This happened from day one with 13.22 and all throughout the beta the drain has been consistent.
Is anyone else able to achieve the 28 days of battery life?
@Garmin - Can you confirm the ability to hit 28 days with any of the 7X Pros you have?
