I wonder if somebody can answer a quick question on battery life between the gps and lte versions?

Have just picked up 2 series 4 AW one the gps and also gps/lte version and come do with knowing if the battery life will be the same for both watches as long as I don’t have an active cellular plan connected on the gps/lte one?
Only picked the gps/lte version up after I had purchased the gps, as it was at a too good to miss price.
 
It should be the same or maybe even better. I have not seen a side by side battery comparison for the Series 4 units but in the case of the Series 3 GPS vs GPS + Cellular the GPS + Cellular had a slightly larger battery.

So having Series 4 Cellular (LTE) watch but not activated, will not use any more battery than a Series 4 GPS unit.

I haven't seen any reports of differences in battery size on Series 4 between LTE and GPS-only models. That would be interesting if it is the case.
