If you’re into long, multi-day sports events, a fitness tracker with a good battery life is essential. And we’re not talking about 11 hours in GPS mode before you’re reaching for the portable charger. We’re talking about days of continuous tracking, through sleep deprivation and all kinds of terrain.
This is where the Coros Apex 4 comes into its own. It’s an endurance fitness tracker designed with endurance athletes in mind. It has everything from detailed GPS tracking to advanced heart rate and training metrics, and not to mention, a battery life that will see you through any multi-day event. But, how much of an advantage is battery life really?
Can battery life give you a competitive advantage?
There are many ways in which having a strong battery life can help you during training and racing. For one, many ultra events now require you to have the race route downloaded into your watch maps (not to mention, if it’s an off-road route you’ll really need this). By having a watch battery that lasts for days, you not only meet race requirements but also avoid the interruptions and stress of mid-event charging.
