Solar Intensity Widget

is there any way to get more useful information about the Solar Intensity? i thought recall seeing that the Fenix glance had a couple pages of info, but on my 955 Solar, it only shows a graph of of the last 3 hours.

did i at least recall that 100 = 100,000 lux?

would be great to get more data/info about how much energy our watches are taking in.

Was also wondering, according to dcrainmaker (from the 955 solar review):
https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2022/05/garmin-forerunner-955-solar-review.html

"Technically speaking, full intensity is considered 50,000 lux conditions. Once you get to 100%, then the full sun icon lights up, no matter how sunny/powerful it is outside."

Which makes sense combined with the:

"All of Garmin’s figures for battery assume 3 hours a day at 50K."

thanks for that catch. i wish they would provide another page of info such as accumulated solar insolation for the day or last X hours like the Fenix 7 does.

I would love to see a realtime solar intensity feature added as an option for widgets on display faces or at least as its own screen.
