I did use the heart rate monitoring and sleep tracking features. Without those they indeed last a few weeks.
Yes, I realize that my use case might not be the norm. I just dream of a smartwatch that just gives me the time and proper notifications, without the added cost and bulk of all the tracking features.
Edit: I was just surprised that the battery duration difference would be so drastic.
The heart rate function is the most battery draining of all. You can change the frequency of it to make it less taxing.
