The GPS tech thread is a good place to get fuller info on this, but on the charging point, I upgraded a decent but old Suunto for a Forerunner 945 over Christmas and couldn't / still can't believe the battery life (and is far from the best of the bunch on that score) - it easily goes well over a week without charging, that's even with a few tracked runs and rides during the week. And the quality and features of it are quite amazing... recommended getting up-to-date (and yep the watch records HR the whole time you're wearing it).

mmm so i want a smartwatch but i dont want a smartwatch..... my trusty Suunto T3C from many a year back is eating batteries and has plenty of battle scars - generally i put on the HR belt once a year for a few months but have basically used it as a digital watch and it (used to) last years on a battery
i want to replace
but i dont want a fitness watch that i have to charge every night or get bothered with notifications from everyone every second.
but actually i'd like to track runs and rides, but just time/speed and maybe HR - i'm assuming wrist HR would do? or perhaps i should stick with/get a newer chest HR.
digital or analogue face , dont mind
does anything like this even exist?
