Just been comparing the Suunto and Fenix 5 battery specs
i wonder if garmin adopts the same idea to get such good battery life over the suunto watches where suunto adopt best,good and ok
Seen in the link below

for instance is garmins every second tracking at less than full power in order to give a better run time..maybe at the expence of accuracy.
With the new f5plus having a shorter runtime in every second tracking have they adopted every second tracking at full power to increase the accuracy but lessen the run time as it suprised me that the run ti e was less on a newer device.
my f5 never got the stated 24hrs at 1 second , more like 18-20 max
so will the f5 plus stared at 18hrs in reality get 12-14 max..
just a thought..
