Best Watch Face for Battery Life

Former Member over 6 years ago

Which watch face do you recommend for longest battery life?

I use Crystal. So far good in battery life.

As dark as possible. Without refreshing (Second, heartbeat)

Dark and light make no difference in power with lcd displays. Refresh rate does matter though. Some of the stock digital displays have an option for removing seconds which will improve battery life.

Same for me although I have the seconds display switched off as well.

Try this one: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/41216af0-baf4-4252-a173-2495388a4710

Only minimum information, no 1sec updates, configurable backgrorund color (white/black).

I like this watch face. The G IQ talks about configurations. How do you configure a watch face? I loaded it, it just is. Editing allows me to select other watch faces, I'm not sure how to make configuration changes to a single watch face.

You use GCM or the new Connect IQ app on your phone, or with Garmin Express In GCM, go to the device, and then activities or if it's there appearance, and select watch faces, this watchface, then settings.
