I'm actually getting at least 12 hours from my Tickr Fit. Each charge lasts long enough that recharging isn't an inconvenience for my 2-3 hour rides.
The Scosche 24 reports cadence as well as HR, so the extra expense (compared to Polar and Wahoo) may be worth the extra $20 if you don't have a separate cadence sensor.
I have a Suunto Ambit3, it logs cadence. For me 6 hours is definitely not enough. I mostly run less than 3 hours, but rarely I cycle long distance, something around 12-16 hours. It would be nice to have heart rate data from these rides, so I'll definitely go with the MioPOD if the webshop I found is legit. I guess the 24 hours means 12 hours with the MioPOD, which might be enough. It would be nice to have a HR monitor I can recharge without turning it off. I can recharge my watch from a power bank even when it is logging GPS data.
