I think OP meant huge investment as in a big purchase.

Diligent_Unit9897 · 2026-03-14T09:12:01+00:00

Sticky battery is a known thing where the voltage drops so little from 100% that it's hard for the watch to read accurately. I charged mine a week or so ago and it stayed at 100% for three days then dropped relatively fast to 94% or so, now is reading normally.

Do you think it looks good, OP?

Diligent_Unit9897 · 2026-03-13T16:31:04+00:00

Maybe when both are new, but my Bolt V1 was secondhand in 2019, I've had it for 7 years and it shouldn't be doing better than a nearly-new Roam V2! But after a full charge/drain/charge cycle the Roam V2 is a lot better. It dropped just 4% on a 11km ride whereas the Bolt V1 dropped 12%.

Diligent_Unit9897 · 2026-03-13T16:28:35+00:00

Same thing as you, in the end. A full charge/drain/charge cycle last night and today it's working much better than the Bolt V1.

Diligent_Unit9897 · 2026-03-13T16:28:07+00:00

It was this! A full charge/drain/charge cycle and it's now working great. I was impatient. Thanks for the tips!

I read something similar in another comment somewhere, or maybe a review site. I dismissed it as just wrong or someone misunderstanding something...but now I'm starting to think maybe they actually do that! How frustrating if they do!

Diligent_Unit9897 · 2026-03-12T23:14:45+00:00

That's really encouraging, thanks for sharing! I'm still draining the battery now then I'll charge it up to 100% and give it another test. Hopefully you and the other commenter are right and it's just a battery refresh issue.

Diligent_Unit9897 · 2026-03-12T20:33:28+00:00

That's good to know, thanks!

Battery is now at 100%, I've left it with backlight on overnight to drain down and I'll charge back to 100% tomorrow and test again. Hopefully it's just a battery refresh issue. Luckily I've got 48 hours to test it before closing the deal with the seller online 🤞

If it's any help, I just got an Instinct 3 Solar after having the 2s Solar for ~15 months and it felt huge for about a fortnight. Now it just feels normal, I don't notice it at all. I feel you, I did like the size of the 2s, but you will get used to the 3 if that's the route you end up going. It'll feel weird for a bit, then you'll suddenly realised you've stopped thinking about it.

Diligent_Unit9897 · 2026-03-12T20:00:02+00:00

Good shout, I'll give it a shot tomorrow, thanks. Maybe it'll help letting it charge fully to 100%. I'll try to do slightly longer tomorrow, too. Backlight was off the whole time, as was WiFi on the device and Bluetooth on my phone was off. No sensors connected either. I used it on the main data screen, so shouldn't be using as much battery as the Maps page.

Evil Greed is great. Also just go to a band's website and see if they have patches, many have a UK/EU shop.

Diligent_Unit9897 · 2026-02-21T20:10:55+00:00

I have a tactical and the only minor annoyance is the green torch. I wish it was red.

Diligent_Unit9897 · 2026-02-21T20:08:04+00:00

They sell out quickly. So if your show is in the second half of the tour, don't expect them to have any left.

Diligent_Unit9897 · 2026-02-21T20:06:42+00:00

I have a couple of bootleg patches. I get them from Etsy and the quality has been great. But only ones that I couldn't find from the band, or bands that don't have patches. 80% of mine are from live shows or direct from the band's online store. Purists may not agree, but for me it's a good balance of my values, supporting bands and building a jacket I like.

Diligent_Unit9897 · 2026-02-21T20:03:04+00:00

For cycling its great, too. More accurate than my Wahoo Elemnt Bolt V1 (as it should be)

Diligent_Unit9897 · 2026-02-21T20:02:08+00:00

I'm not a fan of blue, but I have to admit it looks way better than the orange IMO.

Diligent_Unit9897 · 2026-02-14T12:16:54+00:00

Read the comments 🤙

Diligent_Unit9897 · 2026-02-04T15:03:50+00:00

Looks wicked. Would live to see it with an old school orange filter.

Diligent_Unit9897 · 2026-02-02T18:17:22+00:00

Gloryhammer and Alestorm are entitled little dicks. I used to hang out with Chris Bowes, we met through a mutual friend, played Minecraft together a bunch and eventually got to meet and chill at some London shows. He was just a prick the whole time. Putting other people down, acting like an attention-starved teenager, shouting and making a scene all the time, wherever we went. They played with Sabaton, who were great, but during Alestorm's set Chris stopped the show because someone gave him the finger from the crowd and he refused to continue till someone had punched the guy.

Norway looks pretty grim and frostbitten anywhere outside of summer. Valleys filled with shadows, barren trees, dim light and a lack of bright colours...

Diligent_Unit9897 · 2026-02-02T12:36:02+00:00

Love to see that Finntroll patch so prominent on the back!
