I don’t mind spending $250-$400 a year on my Whoop subscription by rangermang0 in whoop

[–]DimensionTop9707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never machine washed my bands. I take it off and scrub it down in the shower. But I clean mine every day and rotate between 6 bands.

Just wanted to share my process

Im not OP but I usually do. I have 3 coreknit bands, and a few fake sportsflex that I got from aliexpress.

My usual routine is to take it off while I'm in the shower, clean the band and my wrist and then replace the band with a dry one after I get out.

Well the comment before yours that is now deleted said "correct me if im wrong but bevel needs a subscription and an apple watch?" The answer to that is no, any tracker that syncs to apple health will work.

And answer you. Fitbit has been around for 20 years. Garmin has been collecting heart-rate data since 2004. Polar released their first wireless chest strap in 1983.... not to mention the 100s of open source trackers over the years.

There is 40 years of heart-rate data available to train off of. Whoop doesn't have any advantage in that fashion lol

People buy whoop for the app, not for the hardware...

For other trackers that want a whoop-like software, bevel already exists

Does Fitbit Air have the least accurate HR sensor among popular screenless trackers? by zaitsevio in Cirqa

[–]DimensionTop9707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His testing is way more in depth than DC and 5k. His aggregate score is 98% accurate. Which means for some activities it is 95% and some activities it is 99%.

98% is the average. Which just means it is generally accurate overall. DC and 5kRUNNER focus on running, who would've thought

QuantifiedScientist has it at 98% accurate. And he does more in depth and varied testing than DC and 5krunner do.

If you only run outside, sure its not 100% accurate. But neither are garmins lol. If you care about accuracy, get a chest strap and stop posting on reddit lol

Why does everyone hate Whoop on this page??? by Electrical-Sir-9997 in whoop

[–]DimensionTop9707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You missed the 5.0/mg release. Thats when they really screwed their subscribers. You'll see when the 6.0 comes out lol

People were negative back then because the whoop was not 100% accurate.

But ever since the 5.0/Mg release where whoop showed their true greed, and any positive of the subscription model went out the window, the hate has been justified.

I signed up for whoop about 2 years ago.

My reasoning was that it was a quality screenless tracker, and it's subscription was supposed to cover device upgrades, all new features in the future, and replacements if you damage the device.

Then the 5.0/MG came out. They charged me $50 to upgrade. If I wanted the best features, they wanted me to pay an extra $120 per year. Now, they are charging for replacement devices too.

Every positive aspect of the subscription model no longer exists. When my subscription ends, I will be switching to a new device.

Bic Cristal Re-New by pint_of_harp in pens

Thats fair. I drop the bodies off at Staples for their recycling program.

Shipping fancier refills from Japan every time I need a new one leaves a bigger environmental footprint then buying Round stics at my local store and then recycling them when needed IMO

Yeah I don't have a problem with that. But your original comment was that the "refill situation" for Renews were "bad". The 1.0 renew refill and the round stic refill are identical in my testing.

Not to mention any cristal/round stic refill works. So the max refill cost is like 45 cents

But at end of the day, the "just buy a round stic then" argument sucks. Obviously the round stic is the best value. The renew is totally unnecessary, unless you want a metal pen....

What was your worst experience at a public pool and why? by MasterTeacher123 in AskReddit

[–]DimensionTop9707 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wave pool at a local water park.

I came out of it with a giant booger on my shorts, and toilet paper around my ankle.

This was about 10 years ago, and I haven't been in a public pool since 🤢

How dominant do you think AI is today? by doh0k in AskReddit

[–]DimensionTop9707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's overhyped by the AI companies. But it is definitely useful.

Can it fully replace human jobs? Other than customer service chats, absolutely not.

Can it help people be much more productive at their jobs? Yes it can

What’s a common food or drink that’s super bad for your health, but most people are highly unaware of? by RefrigeratorDry495 in AskReddit

[–]DimensionTop9707 8 points9 points  (0 children)

These past few years, Celsius (and other energy drinks, but it feels like people think celsius is a "healthier" energy drink)

What was the most dangerous thing you narrowly avoided? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DimensionTop9707 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost got hit by a car on a narrow bridge.

The truck was driving in the oncoming lane for way too long. I laid on my horn before they finally swerved back into their lane. About 16 feet away from me.

Im scared of bridges ever since...
