    10 / 15 days! No way. I have owned multiple garmin watches over the years and none of them have ever lasted 10 days, even when brand new. Even if you don’t actually use them for recording activities I can’t see them ever lasting that long.

    My current watch is admittedly 4 years old at this point so I expect some degradation but I average 3 recorded activities a day and the battery will last 3 days at the absolute best and that is running it down to like 2%

    I like garmin hardware but struggle to believe anyone is getting 10 days or more from a single charge!

        Are you not recording any activities / using any GPS?

        Obviously everyone has different use cases and experiences so I don’t want to disregard other experiences it just seems so far out of reach for me compared to the experiences I have had across 5 or 6 different models of their watches over the years.

        I have mostly used different iterations of the forerunner range and a Vivosmart which was fucking trash IMO.
