Love the consistency between the 945 and the 935!

In my most recent ultra event over 87km, I ran with both the 945 and the 935 on opposite wrists.

The auto lap (1km) vibrations were never more than 5 seconds apart, and with the majority of the laps they went off simultaneously!

I had both watches configured to use "GPS + GLONASS" and "Every second" recording. Both were fully charged at the start of the race.

After 10 hours and 52 minutes (my finishing time), the 945 still had 46% battery power and the 935 had 42%. The 945 is the clear winner in the battery category!

Here are some charts for comparison:

I think I have enough confidence in the 945 to replace my trusted 935.

I should have mentioned that I looked at the map a couple of times on the 945. Usage patterns while recording may also skew the data a bit.

I’m no expert on hardware and battery related topics, but given the extra features like advanced metrics, maps, music, NFC, the known difference in GPS chipsets....it remains amazing that the 945 battery still trumps that of the 935.

I ran it with 945 as well. Loved the tracking. Out of curiosity, what battery consumption did you have?

I had GPS only and Bluetooth on. Went from 100% down to 65%.

Just for comparison, i use nothing but GPS (1s) & OHR (std. fields, no vibrations just beeps) - 2.69% / hour

During the day it's about 1% / 3 hours (OHR on, Notifications off, watch face "M1 lite" seconds off, SpO2 off)

Impressive. You''ll see the battery stats in my original post. I was down to 46% after 10:52:25.

What was your time?

Yep..therebit is...just need tobopen my eyes!

I managed to sneak in just under 10.

9:54:48

Congrats on finishing!

Same to you too, that is an awesome time!
Running shorter than I also explains a lower battery drain in your case. That's the main reason I've asked: to better understand and analyze the difference between our battery stats.
