Interesting. I have a VA4 and it doesn't drain my battery. You can change the "time between battery samples" to 15 or 20 minutes, which would use 1/4 as much energy.

Very good, but the charging alarm doesn't work on my 945. It is set to enabled and 80%, but nothing happens once 80% charge or more is reached.

I give 5 stars based on your concept. Nevertheless I do say that there is no effect of the last setting option, namely the one related to Glance mode (Long term avg vs Since last view).

You can increase sample rate to decrease battery consumption, change to 20 minutes

I love this app. Doesn't drain battery and helps me pick apps that don't drain my battery.

Unfortunately it seems to cause my Vivoactive 3 watch faces to crash until I restart the device. Sad cause otherwise really nice widget.

The value you are showing in the glance view doesn't match any data you see when you check the detailed view of the widget.

If you send me more details or pictures of your issue, I'll look into this.

Good Widget, but lately there are some errors: watch shows a charging event, when I clearly have not been charging.

Will the new feature battery monitor increase the battery usage?

Developer Reply

It should not. You can increase the sample interval in the settings to reduce consumption futher

Works very well on 945. Great for tracking battery usage between Beta and normal firmware releases.

Do not work always good. Sometimes the hour counter resets or loses the right count for no reason. Example, yesterday l had 100% on 6 pm and now the counter says 22h at 11 pm. It should be 29h

Este widget está bien, pero para poder darle 5 estrellas haría falta incluir una forma de poder resetear y poner los contadores a 0 cuando yo quisiera. This widget is fine, but to be able to give it 5 stars it would be necessary to include a way to reset and set the counters to 0 whenever I wanted.

You can clear the long term history from the settings within Garmin Connect Mobile. The time since last view is reset every time you run the widget. The time since last charge is set every time you run the widget while charging.

2 questions on a fenix 5. I am not getting alerts. Also,Leaving the widget on the screen seems to stop updating at some point. 40 to 60% updated but it stopped even though the watched charged to 90%.

Hi, The app seems to be nice, but when the what itself shows it's fully charged to 100% the app only shows 96%. While charging both % values (clock and app) are the same Was already like this since before today`s update. I'm using a forerunner 235 in FW 8.00 Any hints? not a major issue, but would be nice to have the same reading :)

The widget displays what the watch reports, not sure what's going on note from Garmin: Some devices may report slightly less than 100% charge immediately after being removed from the charging cradle or cable. While the device is on the charger, the charger will disable itself after the battery charges to 100%. The battery will then very slowly discharge until it hits a hysteresis threshold, at which point the charger will reactivate. This is intentionally done to extend the life of the battery if the device is left on the charger for a long time. Garmin artificially locks the charge indicator on the charge page to 100% once the unit reaches full charge to mask this minor charge cycle fluctuation

Great battery management tool, seems fairly accurate with its estimates.

Sorry, no statistics available yet.
