GPS and Other Satellite Systems

The GPS + GLONASS or GPS + GALILEO options offer
increased performance in challenging environments and faster
position acquisition than using GPS only. However, using GPS
and another satellite system together can reduce battery life
more quickly than using GPS only.

UltraTrac

The UltraTrac feature is a GPS setting that records track points
and sensor data less frequently. Enabling the UltraTrac feature
increases battery life but decreases the quality of recorded
activities. You should use the UltraTrac feature for activities that
demand longer battery life and for which frequent sensor data
updates are less important.

Power Save Timeout Settings

The timeout settings affect how long your device stays in
training mode, for example, when you are waiting for a race to
start. Hold , select Settings > Activities & Apps, select an
activity, and select the activity settings. Select Power Save
Timeout to adjust the timeout settings for the activity.
Normal: Sets the device to enter low-power watch mode after 5
minutes of inactivity.
Extended: Sets the device to enter low-power watch mode after
25 minutes of inactivity. The extended mode can result in
shorter battery life between charges.

device uses automatic calibration by default. If you experience
irregular compass behavior, for example, after moving long
distances or after extreme temperature changes, you can
manually calibrate the compass.
