From the product page: "Fitbit Ionic has a battery life of 4+ days with a GPS battery life up to 10 hours."

 

It makes it sound like it has a separate GPS battery. Does it? Or does it mean that if you use GPS, the 4+ day battery will only last 10 hours?

Hi @rcork. 

GPS uses up a good deal more amount of processing power, etc. so what they mean is that on a full charge you'll get around 10 hours of GPS use (4+ days is battery life with no locative workouts) -- more than enough unless you are an ultra marathoner that wants to track their 50+ mile races.
