Excellent Battery Life With 1.13.0

[Sn3akyP3t3]

I just wanted to drop some general praise to those involved in the changes that improved battery life immensely! Prior to updating to 1.13.0 my battery life ranged from around 3 to 4 days. Now I'm seeing battery life pushing beyond a week and still going. I don't know exactly what changed, but I'm liking what I'm seeing so far and wanted to drop some praise for this!

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated ❤️

We indeed worked on a few optimizations : #1758, #1756 and #1755.

Basically, those changes consists in powering off most of the MCU when it's going to sleep. This ensure the lowest power usage.

If you want more details, we started working on those changes when @aykevl shared their findings regarding the power usage of the PineTime.

Yes, many thanks for this big improvement !
On my side here is some results :

• Prior update : up to 10 battery days from 100% to 0%
• After update : up to 25 battery days !!

Some information :

• During these 25 days, I didn't wear the watch every day
• I don't use "raise to wake" or any auto wake mechanism, I push the button to wakeup the watch
