Question about Garmin Vivoactive 4
Short question on my part on the package it says with GPS 6 hours battery life but it only ever looks for the GPS on my watch so I assume it is switched off which means if I use the watch with Bluetooth and 50% screen brightness the battery should last (smartwatch mode according to the packaging 8 days) the watch was empty after 1 time of going to sleep (evening 60% morning 10%) is my watch now broken or what sucks there so incredibly much battery?
Helpful answer
My watch lasts almost exactly 7 days after about 9 months of daily use.
Settings as follows:
- no notifications from mobile phone
- Bluetooth /WiFi on
- GPS only on during activities
- No automatic activity recognition
- Display brightness set to 1 level, display time limit switches illumination "off" after approx. 5 seconds.
- Pulse oximeter only on during sleep and activities, otherwise off.
I would only switch on the GPS when there is activity. Searching for a GPS signal also requires a lot of battery.
A brightness of 50% is already a lot! How high is the time limit set?
Pulse oximeter switched off?
