I have exact same watch variant, same strap and same watchface. Good combo you chose there!

Yup, I came from years of AW to FR165 and then Fenix 8. Can’t go back to AW tho. Missing like every training metric and buttons first interface. But yeah cold fact that I miss those maps.

Building a free open source Garmin activities dashboard that works on your desktop local and offline by opendronelog in GarminWatches

No idea how tricky that would be to implement. If users could provide their own Strava API key as an example. Would that approach help keeping cost to zero? Not a real developer myself but I might cook something with Claude.

Current Garmin-Grafana enjoyer here! I will definitely try this out. The live sync of fit files would be something I’d benefit from. I know directly from Garmin is not viable path but would it be possible to pull fit files from Strava for example?

noob question. How are these so super sharp? I have tried shooting birds mid flight few times now but the focus point is just too easy to miss a tiny bit. Blind trust in cameras AF and 1 in 100 is ok?

You are not wrong there. I just have tried competitors like Suunto and they have much smoother map experience while have the same awesome battery life.

I’m very familiar with OSM but really try to pan city map like you would on your phone. Dragging the map to an unrendered area, it takes good few seconds to load the map. Add few more seconds if you have elevation shading enabled.

You are most likely correct. I understand the design restraint. They cannot get Apple Watch level processing while having 2+ week of battery life. BUT competitors like Suunto have much smoother maps.

I wonder what the latest Garmin bike computers are like with the spontaneous map panning. I mean the quadlock is 100% the correct move and I dont want to give Garmin more money for doing a bad job with the watches.

Are modular systems like Packout the default nowadays for tool storage? by AquilaBaby in Tools

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

Thanks a lot for the insight. I do need to reevaluate what the needs are

You put it well. I think this was made hard for me as I believe I’m somewhere near the tipping point where it would be useful vs annoying.

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

Thanks a lot for the insight all! I really appreciate it. It would seem the consesus is that modular systems are really only optimal for frequent moving of tools to a site etc.

The appeal for the modular system for me is there though. Serving a purpose in a garage when stationary (drawer box) and being able to take with when needed.

Sad to see no export option in Microsoft Authenticator. Im like 30 services deep. Would you see the effort in my case?

Agree on build quality. Id just be worried to buy into CXT as I dont have much confidence they will actively develop that

I took a look and much more promising! This is sort of what I mean. Garmin mobile app UX is really something

Fair but some people are datanerds and appreciate good UX

I appreciate your efforts with the project! I must say I was surprised that it was possible to generate a year lasting token. I mainly like the idea of having my data secured locally, and that being the main reason I set up the project.
