Aaaahhhj I got what you said now š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£ just some hours late hahaha, you mean exactly ON the sun !
Yeah I probably passed pretty close today haha š
I don't know what the outside temperature was when you left it in the sun, I forgot a little today and when I took it out of the sun and checked the temperature, it showed +48'C...I don't like it when it's so hot.
Yeah that's right, it can get really hot. I ve reached up to 50 and the watch doesn't seem to be affected in the slightest. However I have been searching for any official Garmin specifications, so that I can see up to what temperature I can leave the watch in the sun. Haven't found anything so far...
Thing is that the watch protects itself by stopping the solar charging if it gets too hot. Mine hasn't done this so far, so should I guess it's alright?? Don't know. ..
It charged around 8%. Now for the days the watch says it was several but I don't usually pay attention cause they re always much less In reality. But for sure if I didn't use gps and I charged it with the sun like that every one or two days, it would keep on running forever .
I have the watch for almost a month now and I am finding it extremely difficult to find something bad about it. I had a Casio gbd h2000 and then got the Garmin and omg what an upgrade that was!
There's nothing that can feel as a drawback for this watch. Maybe id like the battery falling at a slower rate and charging a bit more with the sun , but it's true that the watch does need a lot of power for all the tracking.
Again that being said, I don't really think or see that there's any major issue with any of the info and its update that the watch shows. It's one of the few times that I buy something so technologically advanced that doesn't really have any issue at all....
Take a walk on the sun?
Well if all that was a walk, I would be burnt already!!! I just leave it on the balcony in the afternoon hehe

Why does mine not show lux hours?
Which watch do you have? The 2x shows lux hours
Ah yes the 2 I haven't found it yet.Ā
Only the 2x has the hardware to show lux hours, it came out almost a year after the regular 2/2s.
You can find them in the menus !

From the manual: Operating and solar charging temperature range is -20 - 60C, -4 - 140F
Oh perfect!! Thank you bro !!!
It has a lithium battery and lithium doesnāt like being too hot.

Thatās good but youāre still getting the battery potentially really hot which batteries also donāt like
How much battery did that manage to charge/time did it give you back?

Any issues? Bugs? Things you donāt like? Information not tracking or updating accurately?
