It has 7 to 8 hours of battery life, not 1 hour.

edit: According to the tech specs it will get a 1 hour charge after the first 3 minutes of charging.

I have the previous water-resistant model and this seems about right.

I think I might have been fooled by the "3 minute charge, 1 hour of playback" claim. it does indeed also claim 7 hours.

That has made me happy, one more bit of Sony kit on the way :)
