For the past couple of years, I've been switching between various Google and Samsung Galaxy Watch models to pair with my Android, as Google's Wear OS is the best wearable experience, in my opinion. One feature I've come to appreciate in a smartwatch is a long-lasting battery, and one of the best in that category is the Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro.

I've been running, rowing, biking, and sleeping with the new TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro smartwatch for the past couple of weeks, and its marathon battery life solves my biggest issue with Wear OS smartwatches.
Its massive 628mAh battery has a unique dual display design for low-power standby use. That equates to an advertised 90 hours -- nearly four days -- of battery life in smart mode and up to 45 days in Essential Mode. Even better yet, just 30 minutes of fast charging provides up to two days of battery life.
When I run outside, I use the outdoor running mode with GPS tracking enabled, and my consumption calculations indicate that the Pro 5 Enduro should provide up to 15 hours of GPS tracking. I typically run a couple of times per week (30-45 minutes each time) and row on the Hydrow a couple of times while wearing the watch to track my 24/7 activity and sleep.
I've been charging the watch once weekly with this usage pattern, so the four days and 90 hours of typical usage seem accurate.
