Listening to music is the killer. Just going to have to accept charging more often.

As mentioned, listening to music is the killer, but there are a few settings you can change to extend battery life. For ultras I do the following :-

Disable wrist & remove heart rate strap (if you have one) (if you don't need to monitor heart rate)

Disconnect bluetooth

Change backlight in system settings - backlight - during activity switched off ; timeout - 8 seconds ; gesture - off ; keys & alerts - off

Switch off vibration. only allowed km lap alerts

Change to Smart Recording - for best battery life

Changed to GPS only (not GPS + Glonass or GPS + Galileo)(DO NOT USE Use UltraTrac GPS mode for your activity (UltraTrac) - IT IS A MESS!!!

I do not remove activity tracking - steps etc

Hope that helps.
