Watch sounds great. I love my Apple Watch, but I agree that short battery life makes in unusable for more than a day. You bring a map too, right?
70 in two days was actually a pretty easy run, as it was almost all well-packed rail trail under 2% grade. We did 120 in three a couple years ago in NY, which was more challenging because it was looser sand in many areas.

No map for this trip. The rail trail is as clear as it gets and the turns were mostly in populated areas. With the Gaia course on my phone and watch, and with the watch being able to operate independently without cell, it was a no-risk proposition.
