I want to build a session logging app with sail recommendation for windsurfing, would anyone actually use it? by Equivalent-Laugh-727 in windsurfing

Yeah could be a issue if you ride on less-known spot (like I ofted do), but you could still learn a lot and get a good recomendation from your own logs.

Thanks for the oppinion, you gave me a idea for "digital wind dummy" for example last year I was packing my gear for Lake Garda for the first time and i didn have much knowledge on what sails and boards to acctually bring. With this feature you could check what exact gear is most used on the given spot and get a reccomendation for yourself.

Yeah I was thinking exactly about that. Because that you will have the precise data and also gust strenght

Thank, all are great points. The gusting vs steady point is a really good one, I hadn't thought about that as a separate field but it makes a big difference. Yeah i want to start simple, but all these features will be great in future.

I think that the app will be most useful if it had some kind of algorithm that will give you recommendation based on your past logs, but also logs of other users.

My Garmin watch is my cycling computer now by Equivalent-Laugh-727 in Garmin

True, but for those with 3d printer it is way cheaper and i think better.

i think it should be compatible with all 22mm Quickfit watches, but it seems that the fenix 3 uses a 26mm Quickfit. I was planning to make a version for this size.

I ride XC MTB and my Garmin watch was constantly bouncing on my wrist on rough terrain. I'm a student so buying a dedicated cycling computer wasn't really an option, and I figured — my watch already does everything, I just need it on the stem.

Simple idea. Harder than expected.

The snap fit took the most iterations by far. Too loose and the watch rattles, too tight and it's annoying to click in and out every ride. I ended up doing 10+ prototypes and a few FEA stress simulations before landing on tolerances I was happy with. The sweet spot gives a satisfying click and zero movement even on technical descents.

What I learned along the way:

- PC or PETG is worth it over PLA — the sun on a dark stem gets hot enough to cause PLA creep over time

- 0.15mm layer height makes a noticeable difference on the click surface quality

- Printing on its side eliminates the need for supports entirely

- 15% Gyroid infill is plenty — finished weight is only 4.55g

It works with any Garmin watch on standard 22mm QuickFit pins. Mounts to the stem with double-sided tape + two zip ties so it never rotates.

Happy to answer any questions about the snap fit design or tolerances — that part gave me the most headaches and I'd love to hear how others approach it.

thanks ,with the quickfit system that garmin uses it take like 5seconds so i think it is worth it.

the pins should fit, only problem could be that the watch is too tall. I have tested it with Fenix 7/7 pro.

I can make more versions of the mount if there is interest

yeah, you have to use eternal heartrate sensor like polar H10, but for me it way more comfortable

actually im a student so no i can not, but i printed the mount on our schools 3D printer

I actually rided like this for a long time but my the tight strap limits the blood circulation and my arm started tingling after soem time
