3 days after charge, 53%, 5 days, Run activity says 15h left. I only did one activity today and without GPS. I think my 745 would be hanging on by a thread by now. I have to say, I am very impressed by the speed of GPS lock. |

quimby witch device are you referring to? My F7XSS now has 12 days / 43% left and it has not been charged at all. I think it was at about 70-80% somewhere out of the box, but I don’t remember in the happy confusion when I got it  It has about 6h of all sat + double band activity’s and quite a lot of tinkering around in the setting during 6,5 days now. And almost no solar charge (far up northern hemisphere, not much sun) So I guess it will happily do twice that time with the same usage. So about 14-15 days battery, not fully charged. With a lot of gps usage. Easily twice what my FR945 managed. |

Frosty The Bowman 🇸🇪 Fenix 7S. The X has quite a hefty battery, it seems! 😀 I couldn't carry it off on my spindly wrists.

quimby I also have a very small wrist, about 6,3” or 16cm. But I’m satisfied with the size of the X. |

My wrist is 13.5cm. The straps go pretty much vertically down from the watch either side of my wrist on the 7S. I'd be interested to see a 7X on it... Well done on finding some sun, geordiegirl. I have been out in the sun, but only walking, so my coat has covered my sleeve. |

It was sunlight rather than sun I keep my sleeve back over the watch to try to get a little bit of free power.

14 hrs yesterday for a 6X+ with map, route navigation, external BT HRM, BT to phone, and all the every day metrics, and 48% left at the end of the day. Happy with that, and I reckon with removing the BT to the HRM and, crucially, the phone* and turning off the various daily metrics and I can get it up to about 40 hrs without having to do any power manager optimisations * BT to the phone seems to have a huge detrimental effect on battery life (and on the phone battery). I assume this is because it us constantly synching HR, calories, steps etc. |
