    Running Solstice watch face with AOD off, touch to wake on, power save tilt on, nav gestures off. BT on, Wifi auto, 24/7HR &resources, Sleep 6 hrs (use cinema mode, DND and touch lock).

    Took off charger at 9am yesterday morning, was at 53% this morning when I put it on charger at 8:30, and that includes tracking a 20min walk with dog. It also includes reviewing a lot of notifications, replying to quite a few, at least an hour of media control. And a more than usual use of watch - am still playing around with it due to the suunto updates.

    So yes 2 days is still very possible with AOD off, not so sure with AOD on based on previous days results.

    That’s awesome! Great work and thanks for doing a longer test than I did 🙂

    Also, if it helps at all I have found that by enabling ‘Cinema Mode’ it automatically puts the watch into DND and touch lock (although it still allows alarms to come through which is good).
    That might save you a bit of time and faff each evening/morning 🙂

      Thanks - I hadn’t realised that the cinema included both of those. However will probably still use the touch lock as it also locks the buttons and prevents them from launching apps. Will still wake screen, but with cinema on it quickly switches it off again.

        No worries, I only recently learnt it myself from using cinema mode whilst asleep 🙂

          Hello to everyone, id like to have your feedback about my suunto 7 performance.
          I was used to reach 12/13h of activity with my Ambit 3 without never think to my battery, the next day too…that’s why im trying perform a long activity with my suunto 7 too and it seems I cannot reach this in any conditions.

          I’m actually at 7 hr of activity and 5% battery remain.

          I’ve wifi off, Bluetooth on, tilt to wake off and I’ve enabled cinema mode but it does not affect battery (saw battery graph), and GPS every 10s.

          Honestly I probably bought the wrong watch and I’m thinking to replace it but please before I’d like to have your feedback and see if something can be differently configured.

            @drunners you certainly won’t get ambit level of battery for the simple reason that this is a WearOS smart watch. You might want to look at the S5 or S9 if longer battery is important.

            That said, with fusedtrack (GPS at 10s) I would have thought you’d get more than 7 hours.

              @aleksander-h honestly me too…I also expect to save battery configuring cinema mode but it’s not…wear os I suppose is continuing draining battery, so sad because watch itself is very well made…

              I think suunto should however explain those info better, If I had known i’d not bought it 😑

                With GPS set to good/10 sec it seems to drain around 10% a hour for me, so 7 seems quite low. And mine was with the screen on.

                    I get consumption ~7-8%/ hour with the following settings,
                    -GPS 10s
                    -Airplane mode on
                    -Screen on

                    I get this if I don’t have routing or glancing at the map because those obviously consume more battery.
                    For my training this is more than I need since I don’t do any ultras etc.

                      @jantikainen understand, probably bluetooth connection and notifications drain more battery than I expect, I’ll do tomorrow a test with your settings and give a feedback just for comparison, thanks

                            Today I did six hours in airline mode and “Good”, starting at about 98%, ended up on 48%, following a route, with approx 25 WayPoint notifications on top of the 45 lap notifications, I looked at the map quite a few times in full power mode to get my bearings…I’d guess maybe 10 to 15 times of up to about 10-15 seconds.

                            The one odd thing I had at the end was Google Pay didn’t work, it said I had to enable NFC, but clicking did nothing, I toggled out of Airplane mode, and still NFC wouldn’t work, and couldn’t get to the setting in ‘Settings’/‘Connections’ either.
                            Paid for a drink with my phone, rebooted Watch and then NFC worked again.

                              @drunners Do you run with your phone on you? If you do, then do not turn off Bluetooth or WiFi, as when connected to a phone they barely use any battery.
                              However, if the phone is not there, then the constant searching will drain the battery (in the same way a phone will drain it’s battery searching for a cellular signal when there is none).
                              If you do not take your phone with you, turn on Aeroplane mode on the watch.

                              Getting just 8hrs of life while tracking an activity is not normal, so please don’t assume this is standard for the watch and write it off. There will be something unusual draining the battery.

                              As an aside, do you have any bluetooth devices connected to the watch? HR sensor, headphones, etc?

                                My current settings are AOD ON and touch to wake ON.
                                I get approx. 36-48hrs depending on the usage (activity, notifications, etc.)

                                If I change the AOD OFF and power saver tilt ON, what is the effect on battery life?

                                This is just out of curiosity so not complaining about the current battery life.

                                  @jantikainen: of course it will depend on usage, but at its worst its the same as AOD on / Touch to wake on, but generally you are 48hrs plus.

                                    @jamie-bg being running the suunto marine watch face with AOD off, power tilt on, touch to wake on, 24/7HR, Resources and Sleep on.
                                    Took off charger at 10am yesterday. Its is now 11am today and am at 54% battery. Tracked activity was before charge yesterday and haven’t had a chance to go out today yet, but I think that using these settings 2 days is probably pretty feasible.

                                        The waypoints notifications are eating a lot of battery.

                                        I did a 6 hours hike today following a course made in Komoot. The course had 24 waypoints(automatically generated by Komoot) so around 50 notifications (I saw that it displays a notification with 100m before and another on the turn).

                                        I started with 93% battery, watch in airplane mode with best GPS mode, and after 5.5 hours I received a low battery notification and the battery was at 7%. Besides the waypoints notifications I checked the map 2 times for a few seconds.

                                        15.45%/hour is a lot.
                                        I usually get 12-13%/hour in the same conditions but with only 2-3 waypoints.

                                        Also, after I got the low battery notification I put the GPS in good mode and it continued for another 30 minutes after which the watch powered off resulting in saving the activity with some missing data(I posted more details in the Suunto 7 topic).

                                          @steff I believe waypoints trigger the main processor.
