What settings do I need to use to maintain functional of pace, time, distance (using GPS) plus listening to music to preserve battery life?

Ideally want Heart rate too

    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.
