I have been using a Series 2 Apple Watch and over the last year it's been randomly shutting down during workouts even when there is still at least 30% charge in the battery. I've just ordered a new Watch SE and I am hoping for much better performance and duration.

Can anyone confirm how long the battery typically lasts for long workout sessions that monitor heart-rate via an external bluetooth chest strap?

I'm specifically interested in Outdoor Cycling performance, so I'm tracking GPS position as well and HR. Really hoping I can get up to 8 hours on a full charge.

Thanks!
