It‘s the second unit of the tactix 8 47mm battery life is on test (first unit returned already because I thought something‘s wrong with the battery).
Whatever settings are chosen, Wifi, Bluetooth turned off, standard watchface, factory reset,…etc: It never reaches the predicted 16 days with 100%, maximum was 13 days while the watch was simply lying around.
Meanwhile I‘ve tried the betas just to get random crashes while opening maps, going for a run or doing nothing, so I went back to the „stable“ version.
Just wondering how long it’ll take for Garmin to fix their main, stable software (experienced crashes also while navigating on a trailrun), even if it’s just a reliable battery calculation for a device in this price range (not to mention all the other programming problems). Somehow missing the epix pro where you got 17 days out of 16 predicted and everything was working on a stable level…
