Amazfit
Up to 18 hours; about 80% charge in about 1.5 hours

Apple measures 18 hours with 90 time checks, 90 notifications, 45 minutes of app use and a 60-minute workout with music; on the cellular model, 4 of those hours are on LTE. Longer GPS workouts shorten it.

Positioning and navigationDual-band and single-band modes; 6 satellite systems; offline maps, turn-by-turn directions, route import, back-to-start and off-route alerts

Dual-band positioning receives two frequencies from the satellites to reduce drift from reflected signals among tall buildings and dense trees; it uses more battery. Automatic mode switches settings based on signal strength.
