Good Battery Life. All charges since I bought it new 2021/04/12. MAX 8 days MIN 2 days

Hello guys:

I have written down on google sheet all battery cycles (charge and use) since I bought my watch in April 2021

My best record was 8 days, the worse 2 days 4hours .

I leaved notes specifying what setting I had in each round.

Things that consume lots of energy (battery) SpO2 (pulse oximeter) , GPS, Messages updates.
I don't check messages on my watch so that's always off. I prefer to read on my phone.

Depending on how you use your watch and for what purpose, you can change the settings to maximise battery life.

Hopefully this can help you knowing what's better for you and what to expect from your watch.

cheers

Which watch face you are using?

I am curious about the watch face as well. I have not seen the “save energy at night option” in the stock analog faces.

Fusion and Fusion Pro have power saving option during DND and a few others which I can't recall right now maybe Crystal.

Thanks for sharing your notes, I like the way you've formatted them, myself I was doing the same but it's total mess which isn't easy readable at all. I'm thinking to adopt something like yours instead.

I am using Time Flies from https://apps.garmin.com/en-GB/apps/2d5d9e52-7196-4139-a079-9478f39aee4d
It's quite good , at least for me .

It have a lot of options , some options will be more battery friendly than others.
