I bought this watch December 2020. I've logged over 1000KM running, ran 2 Ultra races, and logged about 600km on my bike. This watch has an awesome battery! It lasts about 3 weeks of normal training with full GPS or about 2 weeks with Ultra racing or long bike rides. The battery usage screen usually tells me I get about 15 hours of GPS over 14 days of use. It's incredible. The tracking works well mojo · mec.ca
