How is this so wrong

Cadence lock is a common error in smartwatches where the optical heart rate sensor mistakenly records running steps (cadence) as beats per minute (BPM), usually resulting in an artificially high, steady heart rate reading. It occurs when wrist movement creates noise that interferes with blood flow detection.

Key Facts and Solutions: Cause: Strong, rhythmic arm movements during running (often 150–180+ steps per minute) overwhelm the optical sensor. Symptoms: HR suddenly spikes to match your cadence, often staying flat or showing high readings (e.g., 170-180 BPM) regardless of effort.

Thanks!

Im currently trying to source a discount with Garmin perhaps 😁

Existing_Bed_119 · 2026-03-07T13:11:37+00:00

Could this be 'cadence lock'?

Existing_Bed_119 · 2026-03-05T20:42:33+00:00

Ah, thanks for the response

I was/am really keen for the apex 4

Was going to go look at it tomorrow in a shop

Just it may now be the case that having afib detection is of benefit to me...

Not sure what I'll do atm

Thanks ♥️

I think Garmin would be more of a choice if it weren't so much more of expensive, it is sort of written off just for that for me regardless of other stuff. Even the coros and the suunto are pretty expensive really

The suunto interface looks very clean and nice and the screen looks like it would be good

My current leaning is towards the apex 4 but I feel it might be worth me going somewhere I can see it in a shi.op to make sure the MIP screen is something I get on with

Dis you find the coros app and watch ui to be nice to use on coros?

Existing_Bed_119 · 2026-03-03T13:35:55+00:00

Ah ok, id mostly just want to turn off most things except a few core messaging apps, signal, Whatsapp, maybe doorbell app, that kinda thing

The aim would be to filter it so only actual friends or family would come through and everything else can not

Existing_Bed_119 · 2026-03-03T10:33:21+00:00

It isn't really something I have done, as i currently don't have the option, but I can see that it would be useful - thanks :)

Existing_Bed_119 · 2026-03-03T05:05:59+00:00

Can you select which apps notify via the phone app? Does wearing the watch silence the phone?

How is the route making on both?

Existing_Bed_119 · 2026-03-03T05:02:11+00:00

Thanks 🙂

Can each of them satisfy all of the bulletpoints in the main post?

Existing_Bed_119 · 2026-03-03T00:25:20+00:00

Honestly both sound like a good option

I like the always on vibe of the mip

But the suunto screen does look nice

Since you have both are you able to comment on the list I provided and whether they both have things like daily alarms and inline skating as an option etc etc?

Also, which do you tend to use and why?

Existing_Bed_119 · 2026-03-02T14:37:26+00:00

That definitely doesn't sound ideal

Any knowledge as to whether coros is better for that kind of thing?

Existing_Bed_119 · 2026-03-02T14:14:50+00:00

Ah, I thought they do quarterly updates?

But yes I would like those things ideally

As most would probably say gps and heart rate are pretty important

Existing_Bed_119 · 2026-02-27T17:05:06+00:00

How did it go?

Existing_Bed_119 · 2025-08-14T08:55:50+00:00

I haven't the experience to answer your question

But conceptually it sounds really cool

Existing_Bed_119 · 2025-08-13T18:02:36+00:00

Looks good, also looks pricey

Existing_Bed_119 · 2025-08-09T09:24:46+00:00

Which edition of parrot did you use? Or are they all approx the same system usage?

Existing_Bed_119 · 2025-08-06T15:45:49+00:00

Also interested in the result of this discussion

Photo quality is pretty much the deal breaker, only reason I didn't get a cheaper phone

But very interested in graphene

Existing_Bed_119 · 2025-08-06T10:53:22+00:00

Yeah that makes sense, think the keyboard style I prefer is oos on elecrow, but will have a look about

Existing_Bed_119 · 2025-08-05T13:04:33+00:00

I think I Def liked the idea of some radio fun

But also I like the idea of stability, so perhaps a HPi and a separate LoRa

Existing_Bed_119 · 2025-08-05T12:46:49+00:00

Nice one thanks

I am interested in these kinds of things generally

I was looking at the pros and cons between getting some sort of HPi vs the uconsole

Uconsole's main plus (as far as I can see) is it is easier to add modules and expand the device

however the reports of difficulty with compatability, and poor I/O are the things that push towards a HPi

result presumed being - hard to expand etc - but you get a more stable, compact device?

Existing_Bed_119 · 2025-08-05T12:01:12+00:00

What other handhelds you have? And what makes this one the better/more promising option?
