I don't know if 48 hr battery is that much better. Charging it everyday is easier than remembering every other day. You basically have to jump from 24hr to a week battery for people to truly care.
- drewg123 2y agoThat's what I've gotten used to from my Garmin. It has a claimed 2 weeks of life, and I charge it once a week. I pointed out the 48hr life because I loved the MS Band, and I can't think of anything it didn't do that any modern smart watch does for me that I actually care about. And it got the same or better battery life as is typical in the market today. And on much worse hardware.
- jsheard 2y agoIs that a MIP Garmin or an OLED Garmin? I've heard that their OLED battery life is getting better with newer models but usually you have to make a choice between battery life and sunlight readability (better on MIP) or brightness and vibrancy (better on OLED) with them.
- drewg123 2y agoMIP ... Garmin Fenix 6 pro.
- sdoering 2y agoIt also heavily depends on the amount of notifications and the brightness of the display. As well as a few - to me not easily identifiable - other factors. In the last few weeks I had battery life between 30hours and nearly 6 days.
- cogman10 2y agoI have an OLED garmin (965). Battery life is about 1 week for me.
