UltraTrac
The UltraTrac feature is a GPS setting that records track points 
and sensor data less frequently. Enabling the UltraTrac feature 
increases battery life but decreases the quality of recorded 
activities. You should use the 
UltraTrac feature for activities that 
demand longer battery life and for which frequent sensor data  updates are less important.
PowerSaveTimeoutSettings
The timeout settings affect how long your device stays in 
training mode, for example, when you are waiting for a race to 
start. Hold 
UP, select Settings ! Apps, and select an activity. 
Select Timeout to adjust the timeout settings for the activity.
Normal: Sets the device to enter low-power watch mode after 5 
minutes of inactivity.
Extended: Sets the device to enter low-power watch mode after
