has anyone looked somewhat carefully at battery consumption for stock watch faces. I'm only 1 month in and done some limited testing, but it seems to be that the digital faces consume significantly more battery than the analog faces.
for my 47mm AMOLED (I'd be interested in experiences from the 43 and 51 mm users because I think the specs/numbers could easily be extrapolated):
in particular, I have found Deep Sea and the "unnamed" analog face (two side meters with companion data fields and then 3 other fields) are by far the most battery efficient. again limited data, but they burn about 7% or so for 16 hours of smart watch use and then coupled with 8 hours in sleep mode (everything off except OHR) using about 1.5%, it checks in at 8-9%/day which is excellent.
in contrast, the very informative Portal watch face (still inferior to what was available on the Fenix 7 Pro/Epix 2 Pro) uses a significant amount of battery, even if not displaying seconds at 1hz. I found similar high consumption with Bold Stack -- both use about 12% for 16 hours of "waking" smart watch use...ie, close to double of the aforementioned analog faces.
I haven't tried the other faces (although might explore Iron Grit once it's out of beta since it's reported the fonts are made a bit bigger in the current beta).
as one would suspect, Connect IQ faces are all over the place but the good ones check in at about 8% per 16 hours, or under 10%/day including the saving during 8 hours of sleep. (eg, Big Easy (the newer Big Easy IQ seems to use a little more, perhaps due to the gradient fonts)
anyway, I'd love to hear of others experiences.
