    Just done a battery test on my S7. 100% fully charged down to 5%.
    No activities recorded (resting a sore achillies) so was perfect for checking regular battery consumption.
    Settings:
    AoD OFF
    Power saver tilt to wake ON
    Continuous HR ON
    Sleep tracking ON
    Bluetooth always ON
    WiFi AUTO
    Lots of notifications throughout the day
    Cinema mode at night
    App updates AUTO
    Brightness AUTO
    Solstice watch face
    No third party apps installed
    (If I’ve forgotten anything important please ask)

    Charged to 100% and removed from charger at 1100 GMT on Saturday 11th December.
    Got the warning notification of 5% battery at 1742 on Monday 13th December.
    Therefore, 100% to 5% took 54hrs and 42mins.

    MIGHTY IMPRESSED!!! 😀

      Very good, similar what I get when I enable airplane and cinema mode at night.

        @olymay that’s a stellar result!!

        I think mine could get to that result if I ever let it go down to 5% 🤣

        I tend to top it up at around 30%

          @jantikainen I didn’t notice any appreciable difference of turning on Aeroplane mode over night. And it’s one more toggle to turn on and off, so I never bother. Cinema mode puts it into do not disturb and turns the screen off, which is all I really want. 🙂

            @binoworld-uk very similar to me, I tend to pop mine on charge when I shower and shave etc. and this is usually more than enough to keep it topped up. I try to cycle most electronics between 20% and 80%, but occasionally I like to do a full charge and discharge, as it helps the software stay calibrated. I don’t normally pay any attention to how long it takes, but as the watch was taken off the charger at exactly 1100 (was pure coincidence) I thought it would be dead easy to measure the battery life. And I was right 🙂

            I’m happy to see that the battery life is as good as ever - and if anything is better than it ever has been 😁

              @olymay I do the same happy 30% to 80% keeps its chemical reaction nice and strong & prolong the longevity of the capacity.

                I’m sure this has been discussed already in this forum so sorry for a possible double posting/question (at least I didn’t create a new topic 😀 )
                Has anybody been using S7 for downhill skiing?
                What would be the expected battery life, 5-6 hours maybe?
                I know I would anyway lock the screen and keep the watch under my sleeve without glancing it. I would assume that GPS has to be set to best.

                  @jantikainen I have used the S7 for Ski Touring. If you do not use the map and the screen is mostly on low power mode you should get a full day or 6-8h of activity.

                        @Lluís-Gou - you should get longer than that - were you using fused GPS - and or were you using maps?
