It can easily last up to 5 kms of running with GPS, music and heart-rate tracking after a 15 minute charge. One thing that I like is the charging speed. And if you use it only for keeping a track on your activities and don’t use it quite often, then it may last up to 2 weeks as well. If you are an avid user and use all the features like music GPS and heart-rate sensor one hour each day, then it won’t last more than 5-6 days. The battery life totally depends on how you use the watch. In terms of accuracy and stats, TomTom Spark is very impressive if you actually use all its functions. This obviously helps you know your progress without even looking at the stats. It also allows you to race against your previous run, which means if you run on a particular route every day, you can set it to race against the same time and pace again.
