The device is packed with high-performance monitoring features and health that have been designed into a lightweight design, so you need to worry less about the fitness tracker weighing you down during your races or training. The device comes in two color options Black, and Whitestone.
Battery Life
The battery life depends on the features enabled on the watch, such as GPS, Phone notifications, and Connected phones. Without using services like music providers the battery can last for 42 hours. We tested the watch on a two-day backpacking trip using 9 hours of GPS, when we finished the journey we had 75% battery left. The battery life should be okay with its users.
