Battery life 2X Tactical

I have the watch for 3 weeks

When i received it(new) battery level was 63% and i charged it until 100%

I didn't use electricity so far to charge it again, only sun 

I didn't make phone connection, heart rate is off, oximeter is off

Battery level is now at 43% - 36d on smartwatch mode and only 44d on power save.

I was expected arround double battery level on power save mode.

Is this small battery level difference (8days) normal?

    Hi, have you installed any recent updates? If so turn off your watch, wait about 3 mins, and turn watch back on. If you look on various forums a simple turn off/wait/on fixes nearly all battery drain issues after a software update. Hope this helps

    I should also say on 100% battery, HR off, Bluetooth off, I show over 80 days

    Why? The specifications tell up to 100 days in battery saver mode (up to 40 days in smartwatch mode). If I understood well, you use the watch since some ~21 days, and it still reports 36 respectively 44 days remaining. That sums up to 57 days in Smart Watch mode, and 65 days in Battery Saver mode. You did not write whether you kept the watch in the Battery Saver mode 100% of the time, use no GPS at all, record no activities, never use backlight, etc. Somehow I doubt it was really the case (why would you finally buy a smartwatch when not using it at all), so I'd tell the battery life prediction is still well within the specifications.

    Of course i have used gps during activities, backlight, heart rate etc. Im very satisfied with battery life of the watch and the solar charging capability. I did over 20 hours of solar charge last 3 weeks,  putting my watch next to the window, many times. And its really charging effectively. But my question was different. Is it only 8 days difference of battery remaining between power save(44d) and smart watch mode without HR (36d), at a specific time, normal ? Or not?

    Well, I just came back from my run and i realise that turning HR on i have only 20days and on power save i have 44days.

    So i guess smartwatch mode includes HR on, because 24 days difference seems normal
