As you can see from the image above I have owned a LOT of Garmins including: an ENDURO, Fenix 6 Solar, Fenix 6 Sapphire, etc. I still have a Fenix 6 Titanium in addition to a Venu 2.

Garmin’s battery life claims have always been artificial, non-realistic & SHORT-LIVED.

Ask anyone who has owned a Garmin for more than a few months.

Just check the Garmin Forums.

Garmin’s battery life estimates are based on using the most boring of THEIR watch faces and not doing too much of anything on a given day. That is not realistic or representative.

Plus, the batteries, quite literally, in front of your eyes, start losing ‘juice’ the longer you have them.

So, PLEASE, take Garmin’s claims about Fenix 7 battery life with a HUGE grain of (Lithium) salts.
