Instinct Crossover Solar Tactical Battery

I wear my Instinct 24/7 and it gets daily sun about 4-6 hours a day. The most battery life I get on widget is 15 days. The marketing literature says I can get infinite with solar and much more than 15..28 days.

any comments or ideas?

It depends on your system settings.

Garmin says „UP TO 28 days“, not 28 days in general.
Smartwatch mode does NOT include pulse ox !

The runtime is also only an ESTIMATION ! Set the brightness and the timeout for the backlight lower, and the estimation will show you a longer runtime.

There are many factors that influence the runtime. It depends on the setting.
