I just purchased my first Garmin as I have been training for my first full marathon. I am concerned of battery life for the 4 hours or more of running the marathon. Has anyone used the venu for a long period of gps mode running activity and if so did it the battery life make it the whole activity? I love the features of watch, but want a reliable Garmin to make sure the battery holds for my marathons
No problems here, i am very happy with battery life. I had a 8h hiking with gps and had 61 percent left. Also with always on i walked 3h, 26percend battery lost. (can by enabled for activities to show data pages without wrist turn).
Be sure to download the latest update. Should be 3.60 but also had no problems with 3.50. also turn the watch on and of after an update. Since Vivoactive 3 has similar problems after installing annu
ate, i do it since then
