I ran the Wasatch 100 earlier this month. I used the Forerunner 965 and turned off the bluetooth to my phone, I set it to "GPS only", turned off "always on", set brightness to medium, turned on "gesture", set time out to 4 seconds, and I kept the HR on. I started to use navigation when it got dark, at about mile 50. I am not super fast and finished in 34 hours. My watch had 21% left when I finished and I did not charge it at any time during the race. I was pretty impressed.

I have the forerunner 965 for almost 3 weeks now, first time after a full charge, followed by the regular set up + spotify + Garmin pay and so on I had the watch on GPS auto select mode, AOD screen off (AOD on during exercises) and brightness at the lowest level (works perfectly for me) and around 5 hours of different activities during that period, I had to recharge it after 10 days. After that I tried all the same, maybe 1 hour more of exercises and AOD on, I had to recharge it exactly after a week. All in all, perfect stats for me!

I did a test with the following configuration: - display = gesture - timeout = 4 seconds - gestures = 15-20 per hour - gps = auto - recording = every second - heart rate = wrist - external sensors = 2 - phone = not connected - pace pro = on for 1 hour - navigation = off The results are: - activity time = 2 hours - battery usage = 5% - conclusion = with this configuration you can get about 40h of activity. Not bad at all.

I currently have GW5 pro and even though it's a good smart watch I want something more sport focused wrist device which the GW5 pro is really not. The metrics it provides are very simple, the navigation kind a sucks and the gps is pretty poor.

Coming from an Apple Watch SE, anything over a day is a blessing for me. I use my 965 with almost everything on and just charge it once a week. It can easily last me two weeks but I like always on display. Also worth noting I average about 350minutes of activity per week. 50-70km runs per week

@striff 10 ай бұрын

I'm recovering from injury, s not massive, long trail runs, but with Music / Blue tooth and all bands I've had over 3 hours, and still more than 50% battery life remaining. Brightness set to lowest, and always on display. Never thought about Bluetooth, don't need it when running, so that's great to know, it will help with battery.

@georgibg Жыл бұрын

I've had a different experience with my Forerunner 965. First, whether the always-on display is enabled or not during a run didn't make much of a difference. I turned off Bluetooth and the always-on display, set display brightness to minimum, had navigation on as well as two external devices connected - a Stryd and a Polar optical HRM. My watch lost no less than 6% battery per hour. I haven't tried running without dual-band GPS and connected devices, but I suspect they draw a lot of power.

I switched to garmin watches recently. The battery performance is insane. I use a Forerunner 255 for in depth performance data. Mainly, I use the Instinct Solar, living in Hawaii, I can take advantage of the solar charging feature, sunlight for 365 days a year. I would buy this or the Forerunner 955 solar. But then, I don't use the navigation features over here, I know all of the routes in my head down here.

I bought an Ultra and as a daily wear the watch is really good. Battery still causes anxiety though compared to my Suunto's and Garmin's. Apple Pay is much better than Garmin Pay here in Australia (not a lot of support anywhere). There are so many upsides to a proper fitness watch compared to a smartwatch. Kinda regretting buying the Ultra, but I'll get a new Suunto Race next year anyway.@@ChaseTheSummit

@ChaseTheSummit 9 күн бұрын

I think they avoid advertising specific battery situations because there are so many variables. They stick to a pretty standard set up for their spec sheet which makes sense! Yes, when you change settings the estimated battery remaining will adjust accordingly. This includes screen brightness, screen time out, always on display, GPS modes, etc... They will all be reflected in the estimated remaining time.

Returned my Garmin 965 and kept my 945. Elevation gain was way off on the 965 compared to Apple watch and 945. Having to turn wrist to read the screen was annoying. Strange but 945 screen is easier to read on the run. The buttons on the 965 are not as clicky as the 945. Had to look at the 965 screen when pressing the start/stop button to make sure the run started/stopped. Found myself charging battery every night on the 965 compared to several days on the 945.

Apple Watch just throw in the garbage. It is not a fitness watch
