      I don’t know why my watch die less than 5 hour for hiking … anyway to let GPS record less frequently so to save some battery? Anyway to contact suunto developer?
      My watch consumes 15% of battery for indoor sport 5 hours, but 100% of battery when hiking. So GPS is the issue here.

        @Kai-Liu Not possible to change GPS but that is short, mine is getting much more than 5h. What other apps are installed? I have found that some 3rd party apps are depleting the battery a lot. How was your watch set for the exercise? Did you have the screen always on? Did you use the map a lot? Did you listen to music or podcasts or something?

          no other apps installed, I set screen always off … not even watch the map, not listen to music …
          Basically I set it as hiking mode / kayaking mode and start, lock the screen, and just not using it any more

            I hope Suunto developers take into account the battery problems reported by users who do outside activities like you and me. Battery consumption is really excessive and beyond the expectations of a product of this level. We look forward to the next update.
