Mine is a newer 2X Solar. The solar definitely helps (although obviously only when the sun is out, winter training might not be similar). I have just over 40% remaining after a few weeks and like 3.5 hours of gps tracking time. Im definitely sold on the solar part. My only Apple Watch comparisons are the first few generations but HR seems similar to those (good enough to be useful but probably not as good as a real chest strap).
Part of it might be the simple screen which I like - feels like gshock.
Appreciate the replies and definitely going to look into this watch a little bit more. I like the aesthetic of it and the fact it still has buttons as that is an absolute must for me.
It seems like I record more activities than the average person so probably can’t get as much life out of it but even one extra day is a 50% improvement over what I get right now!
