Venu 2 Plus - New User Questions

If I need to split these questions out into multiple posts, please let me know. 

Anyways just purchased my Venu 2 Plus - I really like the watch but wondering if this is the right watch for me. Here is what I want it for...Flying(Paramotoring to be specific), walking(seems reasonable), bike riding(trails, city streets and off-road tracking). My most concerning is the accuracy of the altimeter - I found a PPG app that seems like it will work as long as the altimeter is fairly accurate. Everything is visual in this sport so I want to basically just know how high I am and what direction I will be flying. 

Biking is pretty much straight forward and I suppose the activity will give me what I want - Is the basic activity provided with the watch good enough? 

Walking - not a big walker but when I do want to track that I suspect the built in activity will be fine as well.

Other observations - yesterday after playing around with the watch, I must have done something as my battery basically took a dive overnight. Went to bed at 50+% and woke up to 25% - that seemed excessive as something else was going on in the watch in the background that I could not see/detect. I had previously played with the GPS via a couple of apps but thought that would turn off when I exited out. I used one of the default watch faces that basically only showed the time, HR, steps - very basic stuff but with no GPS that I knew of. I feel like the GPS stayed running for some reason unbeknownst to me. In fact that behavior continued through noon today until I went back int to the GPS under settings a clicked manual and backed out without changing anything??? Maybe I did something else - I don't know what I was really doing so I thought maybe there are lessons to learn via best practices...For now the watch is behaving as expected - I charged up to 91 percent and now at 90 since early afternoon. Afraid to really change anything else right now without beginning to ask these questions. 

Any ideas to my questions would be much appreciated. If there may be another watch that would be suggested for my needs, I am open to that as well as I can still return this one and get/order something else. Thanks in advance.
