Close to it under moderate use. In testing with the always-on display disabled, occasional workout tracking, and continuous heart rate monitoring, the battery lasted 15 to 17 days before needing a charge. Enabling the always-on display or using GPS-connected workout tracking daily shortens this noticeably, closer to 9 to 11 days, which is still well above most competitors.
No, it uses connected GPS through a paired phone via the Zepp app. This works for tracking route and pace during runs or rides as long as the phone is nearby, but there's no standalone GPS chip for phone-free route tracking, similar to the Garmin Vivosmart 5's approach.
