Knowning Garmin I doubt they would sacrifice battery life too much. It wouldn’t be a Garmin if you had to charge it every week. They do run a lightweight operating system so I imagine they can just tweak it. It will also probably depend on use.

I’ve gotten very accustomed to going 2-3 weeks before needing a charge on my Garmins, even with 1-2x daily GPS activities. I’d be willing to concede some of that for the ability to truly leave the phone at home on a long run/ride, but not if it’ll be like an Apple or Pixel Watch.
