I understand that Apple Watch does many things in the background. But when you’re comparing something like an Apple Watch vs Garmin Epix.

If they’re both turned on for hiking they are in theory using the same processing power, measurements. Apple Watch isn’t doing anything different. So why is it so poor? What else is it doing…

    I’m not sur why it would matter, at the end of the day. They’re both getting the same data points during a workout.

      You’re not sure why a 150Mhz CPU would use less battery than a 1800Mhz dual core CPU?

      Are you deliberately trying to be obtuse?

      This thread reads like you over and over asking the question why a moped draws less gas than a SUV when they are both just going to the grocery store to pick up milk.

        I don’t think moped vs SUV going to the shops is accurate. A workout on the devices is more like a Geekbench score.

        Considering Apple make their chips run so efficient. You only need to see the comparing between Mac silicon and Mac Intel. I don’t understand why their workout battery life burns through so much battery.
