8.11 soft battery life

hey everyone, im just wondering what is going on, got my garmin venu 2 for almost a month and after i fully charge it ( 100 %) it shows only 8 days to stay alive instead of 11 days, do you have the same 'issue' after an update ? its a brand new watch, no AOD, pulse ox night only, autobrightness, short time of backlight and low gesture. So is it something wrong with my watch or it is normall to have 8 days instead of 11 after this 8.11 update ? thanks for reply

You'll never get 11 days with that. If your watch estimated 11 days with pulse ox set to "during sleep" before, it simply gave you a wrong estimate.

Yes (spot checks only), there's a list somewhere that details Garmin's smartwatch usage assumptions. I can only find the one for the Venu 2 Plus, but it should give you an idea as to how to get to the advertised 11 days.
