Absolutely my favorite data field! Plus it is a two-fer with both the solar intensity and battery level being recorded and shown in Garmin Connect (GC) after the activity. And not only shown in GC, but in graphs and with an overall solar intensity average on the summary page. An absolute must have for solar watch owners.

Perfect data feild. Great to look back on the data after a run or hike. And see how much solar I got. Abd niw it shows battery, even better as I can see drain over time and how solar intensity helps. Realy useful.

excellent. i also echo the request to include the battery level to be logged as a second data field for this CIQ data field. most Garmin watches seem limited to 2 CIQ data fields so having solar and battery on the same "field" would save a slot for something else (i like Strava Relative Effort). thanks!

Great data field! Thank you so much for your work. Feature request - It would be awesome if battery percentage and battery percent per hour were logged as well.

Hey thanks, you can use https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/c0797db5-6570-4db1-b7fc-474b1c51cebf for the battery level. Discharge rate would not really work out, the API does not really give enough resolution for that. Maybe average rate at end of activity could be interesting but with how long these lasts you'd only get something useful on like 10h activities or something like that.

Love it with my f7X Solar. Just waiting for a release that works with my new Crossover Tactical!

Almost perfect. Just to estimate what is percentage to watts ratio and it will be possible to calculate acquired Wh.

Outstanding! Have been looking for a way to record Solar intensity during an activity. Love it.

Works fine, I would give it a 5* if it can show the total amount of Watts generated. That would be great!
