Sports watch with over 12 hours battery life...

The Noble Nudge

Just wondering anyone recommended a multisport watch with 12 hours plus battery life?

I have a 310xt (run)but highly doubt it would last the distance. (20 hour battery life but thats brand new i would imagine)
Ive a garmin 820 (bike)but it wont last...

So was looking at the Garmin 935/945 but at the price point I'm not sure how much use I will get after the event.

Any body use anything else I know Suunto do a range but wouldn't know where to start...

thanks

My 310 is years old and it lasted for 13 hours a few weeks ago when I did a charity cycle from Dublin to Galway. Left the house at 5am and got to Galway at 6PM and it still had a little battery.

My Vivoactiv HR also lasted but it doesnt do open water swim or multisport properly.

how do i test the 310...(brains not working well today)? as im thinking you would have to be moving rather than just leaving it on a locker...

Wear it throughout your day with GPS on until the battery dies.

If you work inside the constant search for signal will expedite the battery dying so you know what a worstcase scenario is going to be.

Good thinking.
defo lasts 6 hours I know that...
I presume deleting all activities will free up some space too and increase battery life

Been using an Amazfit stratos for the past couple of months and it doing a fine job. Got it on adverts for €150.

eglboal has the 945 for a decent price at the moment. I've been looking at it myself. The only thing preventing me from pulling the trigger on it is I can't tell for certain which region the model is and I've heard people with some versions of the 935 are waiting months for software updates.

If it is the asiapac version it doesn't get updates for some reason.

Yeah seen them very keen but no doubt Asia and no back up I would imagine...

Hi. I am selling my 920xt if you are interested. I do ultramarathons and am selling it because I need to be able to charge on the go which the 920xt cant.
I am doing the Kerry Way Ultra which will be about 35 hours for me. I have used the 920xt for a few really, really long runs and it dies just after the 16 hour mark. It would last a bit longer with the settings changed alright. Im asking 250 with the heart rate monitor and ant stick included.
