How long does the Garmin MARQ® Athlete (Gen 2) battery last?

Is the Garmin MARQ® Athlete (Gen 2) thick for a 46mm watch?
At 15mm, thicker than 70% of 46mm watches — it will sit noticeably high on the wrist. Thickness, not case width, is what decides whether a watch catches on a shirt cuff.

Honor Watch 5 Pro - Bluetooth, Huawei Watch GT 6 - 46mm, Samsung Galaxy Watch8 LTE Classic, Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M Co-Axial Worldtimer 45.5 Master Chronometer GMT Ceramic / Black - Grey / Rubber all sit within half a millimetre of the Garmin MARQ® Athlete (Gen 2)'s 46mm case, so they cover the same amount of wrist.
