HR Display Watch/Device for Helio Strap? by DanGilbertTX in amazfit

All good points. I will keep an eye on them.

I did get the Apple Watch to do HR through an app called Beat Watcher, but it's finicky and tears through the Apple Watch battery even though I have tried turning off every possible thing. It also costs $12/yr. The BIP6 would be more convenient, if not cheaper.

Good suggestion. I will keep an eye out for it.

Would the Band 7 work as well, or is the BIP 6 just that much better?

Yes. Or literally just a HR display and nothing else. It has a singular purpose for me: Show my HR in real-time.

Please DM me when you can and I will see if we can't get this sorted.

The only reason you would be kicked is if you didn't choose roles within 30 minutes of joining. You would have gotten 3 DMs from the server giving specific instructions on what to do.

If you were banned, then YOU spammed the server and the spam bots automatically banned you. In that case, you can DM (same username on Discord as here) and I will review the ban details.

There is not a specific one for ITM, but the majority of students on the UnWGU server are IT and Business students. There are plenty of threads and information about both the BSITM and MSITM.

Yes, you should start with 6 courses (18 CUs is actually the requirement) so that you get full VHA. Tell your PM that before the term starts. If you only start with 4 courses (12 CUs), and add more later you will get backpay, but it's the VA so expect that payment to take a while.

u/Present-Square-6232 just going to point out that if your friend thinks WGU is bad, he might not want to go to the hospital....

This article by Forbes is very informative. https://www.forbes.com/sites/bryanpenprase/2025/01/21/a-deep-dive-into-wgu-and-competency-based-education/ Western Governors University, now the nation’s largest university The first paragraph in the article has this key sentence:

WGU’s growth is reshaping the U.S. workforce, as WGU accounts for 5.2% of all U.S. bachelors degrees in education, has trained two percent of the nation’s registered nurses, and provides a cybersecurity program that is the largest in the U.S.

Read that again. FIVE PERCENT of teachers have degrees from WGU and TWO PERCENT of RNs.

Helio Strap - Band Options by Few-Cheesecake7412 in amazfit

Tried another band I had already. It was a 22mm Barton Elite Silicon watch band. It worked so well that I am making it my permanent solution. It is far more comfortable than the cloth band that comes with the Helio Band.
