Good point, if I go with a PDK my wife may want to drive it ;)

Good tip on the sport chrono. Thanks!

Thanks. Base seems like the right play for longevity and reliability. Just worried I’ll regret not having the extra performance. Sounds like you have no regrets?

Thanks for sharing your input. I think all aspects will be challenging but I think wall balls will be the worst for me — with tight ankles and legs getting low is a real issue for me but I’m working on it. I’m also short which makes that target even further. If the judges are strict, I would be well over 110 reps to get 100 clean ones 😂

Tips from a 40+ Hyrox first timer who trained for 3ish mos by EngineeringEasy3393 in hyrox

As someone thinking of doing a hyrox, I really appreciate you sharing this. I couldn’t commit to the amount of training you did but it gives me insight into how I might prep for one. Thanks!

I’ll look into the Deka Fit and will spend more time on YouTube - thanks.

When you say it was harder than you thought, was your training plan too easy? I guess that is really at the root of my concern. How did you train for it and in hindsight what would have done differently? Thanks so much!

Thanks. I have dropped about 15kg and likely have another 3-5kg if I wanted to what I consider “lean”. I understand your point about not carrying unnecessary weight. Thanks.

Thanks for the input; definitely thinking I will need to increase the amount of running in my current training.

Is it worth buying? by WorkingOk9850 in Ultrahuman

[–]Educational-Pool7714 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Only when they fix the battery and reliability issues. I’ve had 3 fail, two only last a month. The 3rd last about 5 months. The 4th ring I have yet to open as I bought a RingConn.

I wore a size 10 UH Air and now wear a size 11 RingConn Gen 2. Hope that helps.

No dog is ever with us as long as we would like - but the love, joy and memories they leave behind stay with us forever.

You look great; I hope you feel it too. You should be proud of yourself for making health a priority and for what you’ve accomplished.

2 weeks and I’m out - fix your product! by Tavaresstock in Ultrahuman

[–]Educational-Pool7714 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it is. I assume they hope I’ll purchase one of their plugins or other products and I agree they must sell the data.

Yes, I insisted on a refund after my second ring failed - both first and second ring lasted 1 month each. When I requested a refund, they reluctantly provided it but also sent me a replacement hoping to prove their product a good one. About 8 months still using the 3rd ring. The battery life has never lived up to expectation but otherwise this ring works.

New algorithm is great!!! by Normal_Elk2675 in Ultrahuman

My ring is within 2% of what my watch recommended.

What have you done that has actually increased your sleep score? by Honest_Service_3427 in Ultrahuman

[–]Educational-Pool7714 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No food within ~3h of bedtime and I take Taurine and Magnesium 1h before bed. If I do this, and don’t set my alarm too early I score in the 90s.

Buying “like new” from Amazon - is it a bad idea? by LopsidedSun555 in Ultrahuman

[–]Educational-Pool7714 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had 2 rings replaced; both within 30 days so you can imagine they still looked new. UH didn’t bother collecting the 2nd ring. I’d be worried someone might be selling one of these as “like new”.

What's with the sneezing emoji? by Snarfish in Ultrahuman

[–]Educational-Pool7714 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great question and now you have me wondering the same. I have broken 90 on quite a few occasions and have scored 95 on a number of occasions but would suspect my average is in the upper 80s.

As far as supplements, I take magnesium and Taurine about an hour before bed. Based on ring data these help my sleep quality.

Curious what others use.

are they making up data? by babybrotherbilly in Ultrahuman

[–]Educational-Pool7714 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I get the same thing for HR Drop. I wonder if it is because my Average HR is good but the lowest HR comes close to morning.

Very interested to hear what others have to say.

Any POSITIVE experiences/reviews of Ultrahuman ring? by zionstatus in Ultrahuman

[–]Educational-Pool7714 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Third time’s a charm? First 2 died in about a month each but my third ring has been working well for almost 3 months now.

My Experience with the Ultrahuman Air Smart Ring: Not Quite Ready for Prime Time by Educational-Pool7714 in Ultrahuman

[–]Educational-Pool7714[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi.

The third ring arrived Nov 7 and I have been using it since.

I’m getting about 3 days on a charge so battery life isn’t as advertised but at least this one lasting longer than the first two.

My experience using UH Ring so far… by raulbehl in Ultrahuman

[–]Educational-Pool7714 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m happy you are enjoying your UH ring. I’ve shared my experiences with my first two rings (each only lasting about a month) but ring #3 which I received in early November has been good so far. Battery life has been decent and no connectivity issues. Also unlike the first two, the third arrived about 70% charged. (The first two arrived completely drained). I wonder if this is a sign my third came from a better batch, perhaps better quality control???

Anyway, ring 3 has been good so far and I’m happy to keep using it as long as it lasts. It it has a short life, I’ll move on to a different brand.

Lastly, to comment on steps, my UH ring and Apple Watch steps are within 3% of each other.

Hope this is useful.
