With always-on display enabled, users can expect 24 hours of usage, and the watch charges quickly, taking only around 45 minutes to an hour to reach a full charge. The automatic workout tracking feature has also been enhanced, providing more accurate tracking and notifications. GPS performance has improved, although there are still occasional issues with signal acquisition and accuracy.
