Battery performance
Battery performance is assessed using a standard GPS activity test. The GPS Activity Duration option shows what type of GPS activities this specific watch is best suited for on a single charge.
Note: GPS activity duration refers to active GPS tracking only. Normal smartwatch use, including time display, notifications, health tracking, step tracking, and everyday features, lasts much longer between charges.
