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, and step tracking, lasts much longer between charges. Solar charging performance depends on light exposure, GPS mode, sensors, mapping, music use, and display settings.
