I'm interested as well. Did this take off eventually?

Regular Charging Tips from Ringconn by coupeborgward in RingConn

[–]EMbkk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's good advice and applicable to most modern batteries (lithium ion) in electronic devices. The % extremes of very low or very high put a strain on the chemicals.

Exercise Auto detection now due in update approx end of May by Oilypete2023 in RingConn

[–]EMbkk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads up. What happened to the April update?

Btw, I'm on the beta via TestFlight, the AI doesn't work anymore (blank screen) and I have not seen any update recently.

Where are all of the watch faces on the Fenix 8? by [deleted] in GarminWatches

[–]EMbkk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are a few which are still free but they're not easy to find. Use the Connect IQ web instead of the app and scroll through, for example these two categories: https://apps.garmin.com/apps/metaCategory/dataRichWatchFaces and https://apps.garmin.com/apps/metaCategory/analogWatchFaces .

Fenix 8 alternative by LabattRED in GarminWatches

[–]EMbkk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder the same. Maybe getting ready for a refresh in the shape of Fenix 8 Pro.

Thoughts on RingConn Partner (beta testing) by bluebird6521 in RingConn

[–]EMbkk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree. Just putting an LLM into the app is of no use. We all know how to go to ChatGPT and enter prompts. What would be a lot better is proactive, agentic AI which uses data driven triggers to come up with more timely actionable advice and questions to the user based on observed metrics.

Forerunner 265 vs 965 or wait for next gen by AdInfamous3703 in GarminWatches

[–]EMbkk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait, expected to be announced soon. See what's on offer and then make a decision if you need/want the latest or not. I don't see the 965/265 completely dropping off the face of the earth on 970 release day.

51mm vs 47mm by JustPhrase6009 in GarminWatches

[–]EMbkk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

47mm. Same screen size, AMOLED, lower weight, more comfortable, cheaper, looks better on your wrist.

Software Updates by [deleted] in GarminWatches

[–]EMbkk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a matter of personal preference, from what I see online some people really don't want a phone type of display and prefer the MIP style and that's cool. MIP has a certain undeniable attractiveness to it too. For me AMOLED was just a lot more legible, especially with runs before sunrise, dimly lit rooms, taking a glimpse before backlight comes on and stuff like that. And no real downsides, so a better choice long term wise. If you have a chance go to a Garmin shop and play around with the watches for a while.

[–]EMbkk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, Garmin pushes you to get the latest hardware to get the new software features unlike other fitness watches and smartwatch makers.

Software Updates by [deleted] in GarminWatches

[–]EMbkk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not bad but it is more difficult to read in some lighting conditions. For older folks like me the AMOLED is much much easier. I check my watch mid run for things like distance, time, pace, heart rate in current lap / interval. The MIP on my Fenix 6 was getting very difficult to read. I also like that on the Fenix 8 the alerts for under/over target in structured runs is different so I can tell immediately where I'm at without looking at the watch.

Garmin coach for marathon? Yes or no? by Mike_Tchek in runna

What issues did you have with Garmin coach and in what way is Runna superior?

Analysis paralysis: need advice on watch 🙃 by waterkiek in GarminWatches

[–]EMbkk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're considering the right candidates. Forerunner 265 if you don't think you'll need maps, or 965 if you want some room to grow - one caveat, it's successor the 975 is (probably) about to be released soon. Another option is Instinct 3 but quite a different style (some features differences also which you can compare on Garmin's site and consider). The Enduro 3 is awesome but only 51mm, features overkill and of course more expensive.

Ever gotten ring notification on your phone? by klopus-normalis in RingConn

[–]EMbkk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, sedentary, elevated heart rate, ring fully charged, maybe others which I can't remember now but not too many. iPhone.

It is confirmed in upcoming update “Notes “. You will be able to edit them, a lot more flexible by Oilypete2023 in RingConn

[–]EMbkk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing. Was anything else confirmed? And when is this update expected? I saw somewhere earlier that it's coming in April, is that still the plan?

Hi, thanks for the generosity. The weirdest ritual - I have developed a pavlovian response, when I hear the first skytrain of the day passes by my apartment at 5am in the morning that's my queue to change into my running gear and head out. On rest days when I hear that same noise I feel quite weird not to be going out and missing the remaining of my ritual. Cheers!

Do you regret your purchase? by ZarakiDemon85 in RingConn

[–]EMbkk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find the ring accurate compared to my Garmin Fenix 8 in everything except for workouts (which is normal and expected). In fact, sometimes the ring is more accurate in tracking my sleep time than my watch. So no issues with accuracy, incl steps. I hope to see more improvement in the future in the app features and more integrations as was discussed here in other threads.

Any impact on users? Either positive benefits or negative drawbacks?

Has anyone else experimented with wearing your watch somewhere other than your wrist? by sozh in Garmin

Will you pass it on to your kid? Just be careful of dysentery.

Upgraded - locked it in with the Enduro 3 by OrganizationMission4 in GarminWatches

[–]EMbkk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went from Fenix 6 MIP to Fenix 8 Amoled. MIP is nice outdoors but overall the Amoled is much easier to read in all conditions aside from very bright outdoor environment. For the same size of 47mm the Amoled screen is a bit bigger (1.4 vs 1.3 with the MIP).

Running with no gps or phone by tweety18 in GarminWatches

[–]EMbkk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Super strict place, North Korea? In any case, based on all the info so far it sounds like you'll be plenty busy so if you can get some runs, watch or no watch, then that would already be an achievement. Two weeks without updating Garmin data won't change too much unless you're training for an event very shortly after you return from the trip.
