fuck sake. 22.5km hike with the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro killed the battery from 100% to 30% over 7.5 hrs with 4 beers included.

Congrats on an amazing run! The first time you break the 100K mark feels absolutely amazing.
And wow, only 30% battery life from a 16:59:05 run? That's crazy good.

Yeah I'm delighted with the distance.
Last time I ran that far I was using a Coros Vertix another was zero battery issues that day but I had a worry about the battery for the Epix but my training runs lead me to believe that imbatteur drain on the Epix is between 2% and 3% pee hour.

102km?
pathetic, come to me when you do 103km!
Jokes aside, nice work op!
I got a bit disoriented in the last few km's and done 1.5km extra 🤔🤔
Fenix range is in a bit of a weird spot. The Epix range limited to just a few variations will allow for the Fenix range to be filled with various options.
I thought a watch with an AMOLED display that would easily last a 200km race was a few years away. The Epix range has blown me away.
I use epix and would switch right now for fenix. Like the screen but I cycle ~15hrs a week and have to charge my watch very often.
Really? Not my experience at all with the 51mm. Easily have 15 hours of GPS time and lasting 2 weeks.
Did a 80km hike, in about the same time frame as OP. With my fenix 7xSS. It was fine. Battery lasted me at least a week afterm

This is the 1st half. Garmin autosaved as I was waiting for a medic at the halfway point.
I am not sure why you responded to me?
"I don't know how someone could get a fenix based on your results."
My fenix did just as well as OPs epix..
Oh, gotcha. No offense but you kind of proved my point.
The drawback of the epix vs the fenix is it is SUPPOSED to have less battery life, at the cost of missing out on Epix awesome better screen.
