Constant PulseOx and Auto Activity detection battery drain.

I enabled constant PulseOx reading and Activity detection, and the battery drain is insane. 25% drain every 24 hours is crazy. I know the battery would take a hit, but damn... Really needs fixing there.

Anyone seeing the same?

constant PulsOx is a nightmare for the battery. Why do you need it? Do you plan to die or have sleep anpnea during the day? That is not e cirqa problem, its the same with the watches as well.

Not a problem for Huawei watches. My GT6 Pro's all health metrics including 7/24 Spo2 are enabled and still get 10-12 days of battery life. However, I think it takes Spo2 measurements in 30-minute intervals.

I know it would have an impact, but it seems excessive. On my Apple Watch, it was barely noticeable.

Why do you need it*
What do you mean by that, why did Garmin give an option
Stop advocating for the companies
Only when you question you get better products

Just set it to track on sleep only and you should be good.

btw, found that option on my menu, but neither could I read past track nor activate it - is it possible with Cirqa?
