Battery Saver Status - Anomaly - Fenix 7X Pro vs. Epix Pro

Reduce the backlight values (timeout and brightness) on the fenix. This will affect the runtime prediction.

What values for timeout and brightness do you currently have set? 

Regardless of settings, the status should show more time, when battery saver is ON,than OFF.  Shouldn't it?  In other words, regardless of the setting, if I turn battery saver status ON, shouldn't that give more time?  That's the way the Fenix works.  At this point, I'm not trying to tweak the settings. I'm trying to understand the logic, of the battery saver function (STATUS - On vs. Off).

I have included pics of the status for Fenix 7X Sapphire Solar (Left) and Epix Pro Sapphire (Right), for both ON and OFF, for each watch.  The logic looks wrong on the Epix.

What power manager shows:
EPIX: BAT SAVER->STATUS-OFF (29d), Full Charge: 41d
EPIX: BAT SAVER->STATUS-ON (14d), Full Charge: 15d

EPIX: BAT SAVER->STATUS-OFF (13d), Full Charge: 57d
EPIX: BAT SAVER->STATUS-ON (51d), Full Charge: 57d

Where are the data of the fenix ?

That's right. 
Both watches in the photos show only the "OFF" status. Could you please post photos with battery saver "ON"?

Just so there are no misunderstandings. The @full charge indicator only shows how long the battery is expected to last if you activate the power save mode when the battery is at 100%.

This photo shows that the "battery saver" is switched off. If you activate it now, the "full charge" display does not change. And the "status" display is adjusted to the estimated runtime of the current battery level (which is not 100% for you).

Sorry, cut and paste error.  The Fenix is the pic on right and the data is the second set.  Forgot to change the name from Epix but you can see the data matches the pic.

You can't make a comparison of both watches to each other if you don't know the respective settings. For example, brightness backlight etc. All this also changes the display of the estimated runtime. As said. They are estimates. If you change the brightness, the display of the runtime changes automatically. Even if you never turn on the backlight.

The exact real runtime can deviate greatly from the estimate and can only be found out in real operation.

The fenix has a different type of display (MIP), where the Epix uses an Amoled.

Currently, I don't see any contradiction in the images. Please still post photos here showing the status with "battery saver" enabled.

of course you can.  I'm not trying to make a comparison between Fenix 7X and Epix for some settings.  I'm trying to understand the logic, of the battery save function.

REGARDLESS of settings, brightness, how the Fenix is setup vs. Epix is irrelevant to the battery save purpose.  It is ILLOGICAL that turning ON battery save, regardless of settings, would give LESS battery life.  That simply does not make sense.  The Fenix doesn't do that?  I'm thinking this has to be a programming error in the watch.  Either that or the Status ON and OFF means something different on the Epix, than on the Fenix.

There is an inconsistency.  if you don't see it, you don't understand what I'm asking, or I'm asking the question incorrectly, or I don't understand the function of battery save. One would assume if you turn battery save ON, you increase the remaining days left on battery.  As you can see below, my Epix shows full charge capacity at 15d, and actual days remaining as 14d.  Amd thats with battery save ON.  If I turn it OFF, I'd expect more consumption, and less days.  However, OFF shows 29 days remaining.  An increase in time, with battery save OFF.  That is illogical.

EPIX: BAT SAVER->STATUS-OFF (29d), Full Charge: 41d
EPIX: BAT SAVER->STATUS-ON (14d), Full Charge: 15d

When I turn battery save ON, the watch says I can get maximum of 15days at full charge  When I turn battery save OFF, I have 41 days.  That is illogical.  Battery save should allow more tiime, not less.

There is another inconsistency.  On the Epix the max full charge changes between ON and OFF.  On the Fenix, it says the maximum is the same, whether battery save is ON or OFF..  It's always 57 days.

I'm going to have to call Garmin on this, if no one here understands how the battery save logic should work.

BTW, the numbers for Epix and Fenix are updated and correct as of the posting of the pic.  The off pic doesn't change the data.  It's as shown above, on the day I took it.

I just took a pic, but the forum won't post it. But with battery save ON, it says 9 days remaining.  With Battery save OFF, it says 19days remaining.  That is illogical.  If I can post my pic, I will.  It won't let me post a pic in this reply but I added two pics in my first post to show OFF vs ON.
