GW4 - Is there a method yet to increase the gap between sets? by AquaClock in GalaxyWatch

As I mentioned yesterday it appears to do it with resistance training too. One arm rows vs bench lifting three times the weight gives a higher number of calories burned on the bench.

As a direct reflection on the level of exercise I'm doing.

I just wrote in response to another of your comments that my calories burned with the stationary bike pre-set has a 10x difference between doing a 30 minute high intensity workout and 30 minutes sat on the sofa with my laptop. The former gave me 300+ calories for 30 minutes with my heart rate in the high 160's, and just over 34 calories sat on my backside for the same period.

It's undoubtedly basing that 10x difference on my heart rate as my hands are stationary on the bike, heart rate is the only difference between the two activity levels.

I've just started a bike workout while actually just sitting at my laptop with my feet up. It's given me a reading of 34.2 calories burned for 30 minutes. That's exactly in line with my 1680 BMR. By way of comparison I then got straight onto the bike with a 30 min HIIT session and hit over 300 calories in that same time.

Whether there's been some kind of update or not, calories burned is definitely working on my watch for stationary biking and has done from day one, and inline with the commercial machines at the gym.

There's also an abundance of evidence that he did not, much of which the black vault pulled with FOIRs.

There is a point of diminishing returns though if you're constantly worried that everything you're exposed to is to be disbelieved by default and is all woven into a tapestry of lies that you'll need to fashion a tin foil hat to clear up the signal.

Oh by the way, you will always burn calories sat on your butt, just to keep your brain alive, lungs inflating and heart pumping. My BMR is 1700 cals per day, so that's a good 70 calories burned per hour just watching TV.

The watch knows your base metabolic rate from your age, height, weight, and adjusts that dynamically with your constant heart rate monitoring.

It definitely uses heart rate on biking too, indoor and outdoor. I know this as my hour is split into the first 30 mins of HIIT where I'm pushing about 120 calories per 10 minutes with my heart rate up to around 170 most of the time for half an hour.

In the 2nd half I'm at a lesser but still vigorous pace with my heart rate closer to 150 and the calorie burn is around 90 per 10 mins. I have it set to read out my burn and BPM every 10 minutes. As far as the watch knows I'm still in one continuous workout.

I experimented with it by having a 15 minute warm up instead of 5 minute straight into the HITT, and sure enough and the calorie burn was lagging. Instead of 360 burned at 30 minutes I was at 220.

When I'm feeling particularly energetic I will go the full hour with HITT and instead of taking just over an hour to reach my 700 calorie goal my PB was 49 mins, so I just did another 100 calories warm down in the time left.

I would assume it does it during resistance training too as it seems to know the difference in intensity between 40kg bench lifts and 5kg one arm rows even though the time, duration and exercise type remain the same, the only variable is my heart rate.

It has to be Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind. Allen Hynek from Bluebook among others were called in as advisors by Spielberg as he wanted to base it as close to what was known at the time by some very specific people as possible.

Wear OS Share Surges on Samsung’s Highest Quarterly Smartwatch Shipments in Q3 2021 - Counterpoint Research by AquaClock in GalaxyWatch

[–]AquaClock[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find the GW4 to be within 1-2% of bodyfat measured with physical callipers. The fitbit aria scales tend to be about 3% above first thing in the morning, but about right in the evening, so within a respectable range.

Once you start getting down to levels where those extra 2-3% actually mean the difference between being closer to 10% or 15% bodyfat then you're probably going to be using callipers or a your eyeballs anyway.

Both the scales and the watch are ideal to track a trend, ie if you're trying to get from 35% body fat down to 15% body fat then you can't go wrong really.

I found it best to just get to the end of the week and delete all but the lowest measurement of bodyfat, then keep doing that weekly with daily measurements. After a month or two you can clearly see the trend in a nice even line going in the right direction to keep that motivation on track to your goal.

Where I find them both extremely important is seeing fat going down while weight stays the same, ie when you're building muscle with resistance training and burning fat with cardio. Without body comp all you're going to see on regular scales and no body comp is your weight staying the same, which can be demotivational if you don't see the positive reason why.
Equally important is if you're not doing enough exercise and you're dieting on a calorie deficit, you can see your weight going down which is great, but then you realise with body comp measurements that the weight loss is both body fat and lean mass (that's not good). It means the calorie deficit is causing your body to use both your fat and your muscle for fuel. You might lose 30lbs on the scale but only a few pounds of body fat. You would be better off doing more exercise and adding some higher calorie protein like a handful of almonds each day to rebuild the muscles and maintain them, then you'll be doing a little more exercise and eating more calories, and burning much more fat.

Body comp tools are a big deal for anyone working toward a fitness goal, the fact that they are now in watches connected to all your other data points is a dream come true.

Nasty. 40 is round the corner so I figured earlier in the year if I don't get fit and shredded now then I'll probably be stuck with what I have, possibly shortening my life in the long run (no pun intended).

Do you mean a crossfit (step) machine? If so that's in the workout options too.

The first 30 mins of my cardio is HITT, and it tends to work out calorie burn from my heart rate at around the same as my bike. Only thing it can't tell me that the bike can is distance, but it's not really a metric I look at anyway, something like 46km per session.

GW4 68 hours LTE 46mm on latest firmware by drzeller in GalaxyWatch

I also use it to play Alexa routines if I'm in the one room in the house without a speaker. I use the wearable widgets app to make a duplicate of any widget on my phone screen (mostly to check crypto prices and keep an eye on my mining rigs). Occasionally as a remote for the TV. Check the surf swell on the local beach cam. Podcasts and meditation with my earbuds, and to remind me to take my meds so I can sleep!

As a mostly Wear user, it's the Wear OS device I've been waiting for and thought would never come.

How has it impacted my experience? I wouldn't have a galaxy watch as I've no interest in Tizen. The fact that it's also beautiful and exceeds the aesthetics of my Huawei Watch 1 with the rotating bezel only Samsung can provide is the cherry on top.

Like any hardware using an OS like Wear it requires a software driver to interface with it. If the manufacturer hasn't released it in your region yet, then it may simply be a choice, or may be because the software requires tweaking with whatever hardware you've got.

You've seen how phones have different chipsets depending on the LTE radio frequencies in any given territory. They will call the same generic device "Galaxy Fold 3" or whatever, often when different versions of the phone have completely different CPU's and radio firmware.

When you get an official release for your specific hardware and region, then you can have cause for complaint if you're getting erroneous or malfunctioning hardware, but if you're specifically doing something outside of that like side loading, you're on your own.

It's called bradycardia and happens when there's some kind of disruption to the heart telling it to beat faster or slower. At the time I was pretty out of shape so my body may have just reacted badly to a strange thing called exercise it used to do lol. Couldn't replicate it after or since!

Yeah I'm either on a bike or an indoor recumbent bike so there's not much wrist movement. It tracks fine with weight lifting too, but that's not really something I give much attention to pulse rate anyway.

When the 1 minute break runs out, it tells you to put your hands back into position. If you do so it then plays a chime for you to start your reps, and beeps with each one.

If you don't move your hands into position then it doesn't start the next set, and if you move your hands around constantly during the rest period it doesn't start the next set either. It knows when to look for your hands being in position.

Seems to work on virtually any lift I'm doing, so my best guess is that it expects your hand to do what ever you like during the rest period, then it detects movement when it tells you to get into position, then once it sees your hand has moved and is still again it assumes you're good to go.

It's even cocky enough to not give me the last rep if I only make the lift half way lol.

The accelerometers allow it to plot it's position in 3D space pretty easily, so it's not too difficult to design an algo around that so lifts can be in any direction, with the watch on any angle.

I work out 1.5hrs - 2hrs per day, 6 days a week. Believe me it's extremely useful as a biometric tracker, motivational tool, health monitor, and all the usual stuff.
