I understand that Apple Watch does many things in the background. But when you're comparing something like an Apple Watch vs Garmin Epix.

If they're both turned on for hiking they are in theory using the same processing power, measurements. Apple Watch isn't doing anything different. So why is it so poor? What else is it doing...

Hard to say the watch with a 150Mhz single core CPU is doing the same thing. Notice how Garmin never releases detailed specs on their CPU.

I'm not sur why it would matter, at the end of the day. They're both getting the same data points during a workout.

You’re not sure why a 150Mhz CPU would use less battery than a 1800Mhz dual core CPU?
