Battery capacity S9 vs Fenix 6: wrist HR

pacos

@TELE-HO and who knows if next Suunto 9 generation is bringing more battery/less drain for 24h fitness measures and UTMB without pain, the pulse OX, and cartographic maps… in Suunto quality. I’m not asking too much, don’t you?

@TELE-HO could be som more capacity would like to activate the daily HR daytime too, but that just burns the battery. so I just track the sleep.

@TELE-HO litle sunlight north of the arctic circle at the moment my S9B lasts longer than med too, but I would like to charge less often than 2-3 times a week

@Bulkan important point that the technology is different.

I know, I was a couple of times just below the arctic circle in december very nice, but also very hard to do sports there!

I don’t use any sleeptracking or 24/7 HR etc… I charge my watch around every 8-10 days, depending on how active or lazy I am.
When I had the Fenix 3 and later the Ambit3 I used to charge them before every second activity to be sure about the battery life. This is gone with the S9B and I do not worry about that.
But I understand you, since 24/7 HR eats quite some power you can observe the percentage almost dropping like in freefall (just a feeling!).
I decided for myself that 24/7 HR is nice but not really relevant for me and I prefer to have more battery life over seeing a graph that shows me my theoretical recovery status. I know we’ve got people in here, and I totally respect them, who need to know their recovery and rely on that. But I do sports for fun and when I go on a biketour I don’t need to be 100% recovered to enjoy it and I also notice if my legs are still tired from the past activities and hence I take it a bit more easy

@TELE-HO all you need is this to do some sports in the dark I use sleep tracking because it is a nice gadget to record the HR when sleeping and how low your HR actually is. But I don`t need the recovery thing because I can feel if I have energy or not. But it is the HR thing I think it is nice to see, how the HR changes during the day. Now when it is dark I do maybe 7 hours of outdoor training and when it is snow that can be more. So at least I have to charge after 5 days with HR tracking on when sleeping and fly mode rest of the day.
