Fragile Do Not Bend
My 45s has it but I only wear it when running or walking so it’s not a feature I’ve ever paid much attention to.

Playing setting up the 7, on pulse ox my charge dropped to 8 days with it on permanently, 9 days night only and off it’s 10days.

Fully charged it was 11days but I’ve been faffing a lot the last few hours.

I’ve knocked it off for now I’ll probably add it back of when it needs charging again.

geordiegirl Can I ask how reflective the screen on your 7s looks compared to your 6s? A few people on the Garmin subreddit are saying touchscreen + solar = badly reflective screen.

My garmin told me today that the hen strap was almost out of battery which was a handy warning. Especially as it’s a polar strap.

Do you not have a free range strap then Baz? Thought battery was a touch un-ethical these days ;-)

They do it for all HRMs Baz.

Not sure if guinea fowl are supported though.

I have been out about the last few days I would say making a conscious effort that there may be more reflection but I don’t think I’d have noticed there isn’t much in it

The battery life is so much better. Need to work out what the solar intensity/luxe hours means in additional charge.
