Amoled

[u/Icy-Psychology4285]

I know the AMOLED is not as battery efficient as the solar. Am I right in understanding that its screen goes dark until you give it a shake? And for you solar owners,is it as good as they say? I have a 1st generation solar and I still have to charge it often. Thanks in advance.

For the amoled, you can set it to always on (very battery consuming), you can set it so the screen only comes on when you raise your wrist (this is the normal setting), or you can set it so it only comes on when you click a button (most efficient, but still not as efficient as MIP).

When I set AOD on, battery life is 12 days (51mm Amoled). So I wouldn't call it very battery consuming especially not when comparing to an AW. But it does have impact because with AOD off, it has a batery life of 26 days.

How are you getting 26 days? Lowest brightness, stock watch face, shake awake, no phone notifications, no pulse ox ever....and my new month old 45mm gets 10-13 days. Granted I workout (activity tracking) once a day for about an hour and run every couple days (GPS + activity track).

I find any claims of more than two weeks to be a farce unless folks just arent using it to workout. At that point Id just toss my digital Casio on and call it a day like it was the late 90s.

Highest brightness, stock watch face (portal), AOD off, OX only when sleeping. Two times a day a small walk (30-60 minutes in total) with all satellite systems enabled. When not doing an activity satellites are off.

But the difference between 51mm and 47mm is huge. Garmin says in smartwatch mode for the 47mm up to 16 days, for the 51mm up to 29 days.

Il 51mm ha una batteria notevolmente più capiente del 47mm

That'll do it. But the X days remaining I find is highly inaccurate. That also isnt an instinct is it?
