'Time Only Mode' is a proprietary Fossil feature.
-- Battery Saver is all that we have to contend with until further notice.

Is there a way to mimic it?

I mean real battery optimization and turn off everything basically

In that case, you might want to consider sideloading Naptime to the Pixel Watch and monitor your battery savings.

Be certain to utilize the experimental features of the app and sideload Wear Battery Monitor to monitor battery usage.

 

[xxqxpxx]

you mean this app ?

Wear Battery Monitor - Apps on Google Play

Alerts users to abnormal battery drain on a WearOS device

play.google.com

If you disabled motion detection in Naptime, then Naptime uses light doze but with all parameters from deep doze. It is confusing, but this is a clever workaround and the only way to disable motion detection while dozing. Deep doze does not allow disabling motion detection, but light doze does. So, Naptime fools the system into thinking it is using light doze, when it is actually using deep doze parameters.

How long did you wait before you started noticing the data from the screen off session settings?

Okay , what does that do and what if i enabled it ? What would it do? Does that disables tracking?

Disables Tracking.

What would it do?

Will not be able to exit doze even when you move.

Does that disables tracking?

Yes. Bear in mind that this app was not designed for WearOS. Therefore, your YMMV over the course of days and/or weeks.

I recently uninstalled it due to the sluggishness of exiting doze even on the Pixel Watch [that's just me].

Thank you for your help man. What do you mean by YMMV?

Yeah I recently have been using the pixel watch and it lasts a sold day for me but not enough for sleep tracking. I just don't use it as much and have it on battery saver always. It helps a bit without sideloading

Mine does not last a full day. I do use Sleep Tracking (not sure why) and I run out of power around 7/8pm and throw it on the charger (when I remember)
