        @lesley-mackenzie will you use the navigation screen all the time? Do you have many waypoints or tbt waypoints? Do you want to use any S+ app?

          @isazi I’ve just got the watch so not sure about way points and what that means. Downloaded gpx route…Will take between 11 and 14 hours. Navigation is more important than recording run as can’t risk battery running and getting lost but but woukd like to record if possible.

              @lesley-mackenzie I would say it’s possible with the watch starting from 100% charge, but I have never done such a long activity with the S5P. Maybe @Brad_Olwin has tested it with a 10/15 hours activity. I have only estimates that I can have a look at.

                @isazi isn’t the watch rated for 20h in best GPS? Or e.g. how much quicker does the nav screen deplete battery on average?

                I did 12h activity with my S9 yesterday with an HR belt and GPS only and it ate away about 45% of my battery, whilst having the backlight always on for 4-5 hours and nav screen for about 6 hours. Considering the watch is 3 years old, I’d say nav screen barely had an impact. That’s for S9 that is, I wonder if it’s much different from other models.

                  @dmytro that’s great… I may start with it recoding and navufmgating and if it seems to be using up battery swirh to navigate only. Might be most sensible solution .I should have really tested this before now!!

                      The two longest events that I did with the watch (I no longer have it) were 6-7h, one a trail run and one a ski tour. I used Navigation in the ski tour and it does not affect the battery (it shouldn’t). Battery life estimates were between 21 and 24h. So, 14h is absolutely no issue. Unlike Garmin watches that are redrawing maps the Suunto does not need to do this. I have not seen an impact using Navigation on any of the newer Suunto watches.

                        @brad_olwin thankyou so much. So if I navigate a route and record it as a run it should last fine?..that’s a great relief!

                          @lesley-mackenzie It should, start with a fully charged watch.

                              My S5 is using approx 7% battery per hour. But I’m using two GNSS and the battery isn’t fresh (2019).

                                The OP is asking about the 5Peak, they are totally different watches.

                                  @brad_olwin you’re right, I didn’t notice. Sorry about that.

                                    @łukasz-szmigiel I was getting quite a bit more battery life from the 5Peak than the 5.

                                      @lesley-mackenzie would be interesting, if the S5 Peak did the job 😎

                                        To get max battery life for long all day activities I use the following settings

                                        General settings - Power saving on
                                        Connectivity settings - Airplane mode on
                                        Activity settings - daily heartrate off
                                        Sleep settings - sleep tracking off
                                        Media controls off

                                        Before recording an activity I also use a custom battery mode where I let the screen turn off during an activity

                                            @chrisa after 12 hours it had 60 % battery left. It had tracked a gpx route for that time but I had forgotten to set it to record the run so not sure if that would have used up significantly more!
