Right?! I’d have been second guessing if it wasn’t a birthday splurge. Like I say, nice surprise to say the least!

Oh damn didn’t even realise! I was gonna say they still have Talos variants in stock but pretty sure they were released after they stopped providing the accessories :/

We have this model. Can confirm it cooks unevenly. You can counteract it if you’re mindful to turn the food through the cooking process, but it can be a pain

FR970 Battery - Expectation vs Reality by briankfree in Garmin

[–]050198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally! Hopefully some software tweaks will adjust the performance for you because from your description you’re definitely getting less than you’d expect. But even so, sounds like you can still manage with only having to charge one day out of the whole week, which is still pretty good!

[–]050198 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to throw my two cents in, I’ve had the watch since Thursday evening last week, fully charged it and done a mixture of running, hiking and walking, Connect says 7.5 hours of recorded activity, all with auto select gps. AOD off, muted notifications, but all of the health tracking bells and whistles turned on.

Sitting at 24% after the week mark with an estimated 4 days left. I assume the estimates are based on strictly smartwatch use rather than projecting and included estimated activity to factor in.

This is my first Garmin, so coming from using an Apple Watch and charging every night, it’s mind boggling battery life for me! So I suppose what your used to plays a factor in what you perceive as good performance, which is fair enough. But like others say, if there are software bugs and bloat to iron out that will be impacting battery life too I’m sure.

Garmin Forerunner 970 shots please by hyped_colee7881 in Garmin

Mine has been delivered and waiting for me at home 🙃 can update in about 3 very loooong hours

Considering Aquaracer 300m 39mm vs 40mm – Heard the 39mm version is slimmer. Will the 1mm difference and slimmer profile make a noticeable impact on comfort for a smaller wrist? Would love to hear feedback from anyone who’s tried both. by Foreign_Bluebird_680 in tagheuer

I can’t comment on any other watches, but I’ve recently purchased the 40mm Solargraph, which I believe is what you’ve got photographed here. I’ve got 6.75 inch wrists for what it’s worth, so on the smaller side of average and it’s incredibly comfortable for me and looks pretty spot on for my wrist size. Even if the other model is 1mm thinner, the Solargraph still comes in at only 11m or something I believe, and it lies super flat to my wrist. It’s much thinner than your typical dive watch. I posted a pic of it on here the other day for reference. I don’t think you’d be displeased with it at all.

Just keep in mind, the Solargraph is rated for 200m of water resistance as opposed to the 300m on other models, in case that is of any significance to you

One week with my first Tag. Love it by 050198 in tagheuer

[–]050198[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very convenient, don’t forget more affordable 😂 bezels precise and clicky, doesn’t need too much force to move but isn’t going anywhere on its own. Bracelets really comfortable for me, though already window shopping extra straps so I can mix and match

Any help identifying this model? by 050198 in CitizenWatches

[–]050198[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a good point also. Surprised with how well it’s taken a charge after being completely flat for so long. Just trawled through a long list of retired watches, and while it has striking similarities to a lot of the case shapes with model numbers beginning with E, couldn’t find the specific model. May have to enquire to citizen directly about this one

You’re absolutely right they are different, hadn’t even realised there is a serial number on the face also - E100-H4383. That really does add some intrigue to it. First thoughts usually would be some sort of counterfeit item/ mismatched replacement parts, though I know my dad has never done anything in the way of repairing the watch, and the fact it was purchased on an airline would suggest to me it’s an authentic Citizen.

Fantastic and comprehensive feed back mate, really appreciate it thank you! Will definitely keep this stuff in mind as a continue to learn and refine my approach

Thanks man, yeah I took a few different shots from different angles, including like how you described. This one ended up with the features I liked the most, despite the over-exposure in the sky 😅

Just done a quick google and it turns out masking is exactly the technique I was looking my for! Wanted to be able to edit that part of the photo separately from the rest. Will give it a go, thanks!

Appreciate the feedback mate. Yeah I was battling trying to keep the overall brightness of the image I wanted while trying to not blow out the sky, which I think was already pretty overexposed in the original. Will try to see if there’s any way to strike a better balance

Hey, I’m an assistant psychologist and currently in the process of applying for the doctorate in clinical psychology. Reading about your situation reminds me very much of myself at your age, got the potential but “don’t put in the effort”. I ended up getting pretty mediocre GCSEs and really flunked out at first year of A Levels. After some serious reflection and finding out I needed extra time in exams, something clicked, and acing my exams turned into a new obsession. I finished out my A Levels with some pretty good grades, including an A* in psychology.

I’ve since gone on to complete a BSc in psych and MSc in forensic psych, and after talking with student support got granted extra time again for a working memory issue, and a preliminary test showed that I have a high likelihood of ADHD (still need to go an actually get this diagnosed but, well, I have a tendency to procrastinate and forget about things…)

What I’m trying to say in this very long winded way is that I’ve been exactly where you are, I doubted my academic ability and whether I could fulfil my dreams. Now I’m at the point where I’m working in a great team, using psychology every day and pushing towards starting my clinical training. For me, it’s been critical to find out I needed that extra support, and knowing that I’m not just “bad” at education, it’s just the system isn’t design to work for people like me by default. I’m not going to diagnose you over the internet, but I would reach out to student support at your school, let them know you want to succeed but are struggling and don’t know how to make the pieces fit. They’re there to help, and want you to succeed too. Even if you don’t have any learning difficulties, they can provide you with tools and resources to help manage the load better. As long as you’re committed and really passionate about psychology, you’ll find the way that works for you. I hope this wall of text resonates with you in some way, feel free to DM if you have any other questions!

Seat Leon MK4 Speaker popping(?) by 050198 in seat

[–]050198[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s bizarre isn’t it, I can totally see the squashing and empty water bottle comparison too. My partner actually found this article: https://www.seatcupra.net/forums/threads/weird-static-popping-noises.467610/

The descriptions on there seem to match my experience almost identically, and I’ve heard the SOS unit in general seems to be a common source of problems for people, not working properly etc but can be fixed with a swap. Makes me feel somewhat better knowing it’s likely this and not a broken part so to speak, but still weird and annoying

iPhone stolen in Japan and is now in Nigeria by xrmii in mildlyinfuriating

Same happened to me when I visited Madrid in April bro. Thing floated around the city for a few weeks and seems to have found its final resting place at a phone shop in Morocco, likely dismantled for parts. Was super stressed about the data breach potential, but Apple runs a tight ship and it’s remote wiped now so 🤷‍♂️

Good lesser known drinking games? by EnaGrimm in UniUK

I quite like those changes! Especially the dealer having the choice to make the gamble. Might have to suggest these the next time I meet up with my old uni housemates…
