How many hours will the battery last with continuous use for running? Thanks

Battery life is great on this device. I am not an avid distance runner (maybe 10-15 miles a week) but can easily go a few weeks without charging. The watch also charges quickly which is nice. In my opinion you'd be hard pressed to find a better GPS runner in this price range.

I ran the battery check with my old watch, and I think it lasted for around 7~8 hours.

I run everyday with my watch, using the GPS function, and probably don't have to charge it for a 1.5 weeks. If the battery does deplete, the watch will still keep time and you can still use the timer/run function, the GPS just won't work. I was deciding between this and a Garmin, I bought this one because of the price and I love it. It's exactly what I wanted and needed for training for a marathon.

If you leave it on constantly then probably only 1 day it's a tiny battery. but if you only use it a couple hours a day it will last.

Jason, I have had mine for a couple of months and the battery lasts 5 - 7 hours depending on what I am doing. This is a great machine and very fast.

The time it runs varies according to the setting you choose. I generally set it to run continuously and it lasts about four or five hours. Love the effect!

I'm not sure about hours because I don't wear mine continually. but my first battery lasted almost four weeks

I've used my Sansa for an 8 hour work day turning it off to respond to an occasional phone call, or interruption then turning it back on to resume the music. I've never run the battery down completely and have never had less than 1/3 the battery indicator after listening almost continuously for 8 hours. If I were to guess, I would say the Battery will probably last 12 to 16 hours of continuous use.

I have to agree with the other responses, very happy with the run time and when it needs a charge it is not more than an hour.

Mine is near 3 years old. Battery life is certainly shortened now (probably 10-12 minutes run time) but zero complaints about its performance. Gets used a few minutes every few days. I have been guilty of leaving it on charge a few days over the years. Certainly been a good value so far. Will likely built my own battery for it when the run time is unusable.

From full charge, the battery typically will last 1-1.5 hours with continued usage.

The battery should last several years I am hoping. The charge on the battery is more like 5-7 hours depending on what you are running.

I have found that a full charge will last for 1/2 to 3/4 of an hour if used constantly for the whole time. Also depends on how fast you run it.

It runs on 2 AA Batterys for at least 7 solid hours as that is the longest I have used them continuously for an event. The battery indicator still shows it has some life left after 7 hours but I always put new batterys in for each event just to be sure.

My battery usually last 20-24 hours if fully charged. I stream music for around 4-5 hours a day and it lasts almost the entire work week without having to be charged.

The extended life battery generally lasts about 2.5 hours of continuous use.

Not long. about 15 mins. of run time. I bought a second battery so i could easily swap them out and keep going.

depending on applications you are running brand new should last 90-120mins at least more if just using basic computer functions but the more you have running the faster it will use the battery
