Q: How long will the watch work while listening to music thru blue tooth headphones while using workout for long runs? Mine stopped after a full charge before 2 hours.
I just bought the sports version apple watch and got my tutorial. Downloaded a play list and updated the software.
The saleman and tech person said to expect about 18 hours before needing a charge.
I ran a half marathon and listened to music and moniotred my pace hear rate and time. The watch did quit right after I finsihed the race. So it had been off charge foir about 3 hours.
How long should I expect the watch to stay up and running with those activites?
That's what I do, some times running for over 3 hours at a time.
Thanks Mac

Hi Robert
In tests, Apple achieved:
- 6.5 hours of battery life with a workout session active and the heart rate sensor active throughout;
- 6.5 hours of battery life when playing music from Apple Watch via Bluetooth.
The 18 hours battery life refers to a different test with the following usage: 90 time checks, 90 notifications, 45 minutes of app use and a 30-minute workout with music playback from Apple Watch via Bluetooth, all performed over the course of 18 hours.
