Do you use the built in GPS regularly?

because using the Built in GPS in the Watch it self is a main factor of battery draining really fast.

I’ve tried all of the help and tips and I still can’t make a battery last over 24 hours. I’m very disappointed in this device. I should have just bought an Apple Watch.
