What is the Battery life on this watch?
156745
The first battery lasts more than a year on my Core Black, some recent battery lasts less than 6 months, so I found it's not easy to give a time for it. Some functions are less battery-efficient like the compass and the storm alarm, so I try not to use them if not necessary.

Suunto core - my battery lasts about a year. I also have the ambit which is rechargeable and the battery lasts 3 to 4 weeks with normal use.

I tend to change mine about 2-3 times a year and I don't use the extra functions all the time

Low battery life. I guesstimate my Suunto Core lasts maybe 1 month or 2, only.

I've used it for practice and testing and never had to replace the battery. It's the same as any other watch...I'm guessing probably once a year for changing batteries and then just take it to a jewelry repair kiosk in the mall and have to them change the battery for $10 just like any other watch.

Yes. If you turn on the airplane mode and don't the watch for cardio or GPS with minimum use of the watch's illumination, you should get at least a week worth of battery life.

I've had the watch over 2 years now and I have not had any prpbls with this watch. The battery so far has seen its fair share of usage.

Yes, for the most part. However, I've noticed that it has occasionally been off, mostly overestimating my speed and distance. My other complaint is that it takes a few minutes to locate the gps signal. It also seems that the watch functions better when fully charged.

Yes it is also a watch. A full charge will run the watch for 8+ days without a recharge. It recharges from a USB port on your computer in an hour or so. I have never played more than 18 holes in a day but there was no problem with battery life, to date. Howe that helps. Cheers, Phil

It takes a standard CR 2032 watch battery. You should be able to pick some up at any drugstore or big box retailer (or Amazon).

Couldn't tell you. The battery was so bad I could not get the watch to function at all. Returned it for a Garmin watch.

The watch (device) is powered by a built-in batthery that you can charge by using a standard wall outlet or a USB port on your computer. Use the charging cradle (which is part of the package) with the groove on the left side of the device and connect the cradle with the contacts on the back side of the D2 Pilot Watch. That´s it. The battery life is in normal GPS mode up to 16 hours - in the watch mode up to 5 weeks.

This is obviously dependent on location and how hard the watch has to try to capture the GPS signal (are you concealed from skyview at any point, etc.). You can expect anywhere from 4-5 hrs of continuous use. My last run was greater than 4 hrs and I took it off the charger and went running, it lasted roughly 4 hrs that day. And that seems to be the norm for where I am. Hope that helps.

Battery life is 8hrs, however you don't need GPS for the swim & if you use bike computer, then save GPS for the run.

It's on all the time. Battery life is good for at least a year. It works great as a watch or pedometer as well

The watch does not turn off. However most battery powered watches don't turn off. I don't know how long the battery last I have only had mine for a month. I am sure it will be comparable to any other battery powered watch and the battery is easy to change. The instructions say the transponder on the chest strap will turn off and make the battery last longer if you disconnect it from the strap when not in use.

I ran for 14 miles with it.. Never encountered a limit... I imagine the on-screen timer will loop back to 0 eventually, but the information uploaded should remain accurate. If you want something that runs all day, consider an armband instead of a chest band, as the latter requires you to keep your chest moist. Ew. Re: battery life, I estimate 60 hours (of exercising) or more per watch battery. Ditto, chest strap. HTH.

Yes, you can make calls and receive calls using the watch with its handsfree speaker or earphone, read SMS, missed call information as well. The battery normally last for two days standby, depends on how frequently you use it.

It takes a CR2032 watch type battery. Can't tell you how long it lasts as I've not had to replace yet.
