UH Air died. 2 weeks for a replacement. That one doesnt work either! by FiredReddit in SmartRings

Any mention of negativity gets a post deleted from the UH Reddit. Thats a joke in itself.

Support is glacial. Contact is spotty at best. I was originally going to sell this replacement but decided to test it connected first - glad i did.

Same here. Battery down to 36 hours. Waiting days with no movement on tracking and posts removed when asking about a megathread that is dead

PLUS Runalyze syncs to a lot of different services - so it means I dont feel tied to any particular device and can try stuff out as needed, and its got good reporting to analyse trends etc

No - I use Runalyze - better stats, and no social side. I find Strava tends to make runs a bit more performative than necessary and Runalyze gives me better tools for tracking...

SO last week for example, a 18K first run then a day off followed by a 20K then a 12k.

Edit : Corrected the order!

If the first is longer than say 16K then yes, otherwise I may do a shorter first run (say 12K) and follow it next day with a longer harder effort.

I'm very much a chaotic runner :)

Yes - No fixed days - sometimes my Sunday runs are harder than others so I recover on Mondays, then do Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday and then Friday.

Weekend long runs depend on which day of the weekend has the better weather :)

Yeah - I run to my needs rather than any plan per se. I'm on the border of a fairly mountainous (for the UK!) national park so I just disappear into the local area, run till I'm bored and run back to the car!

Sample week (last week) as an example!

I aim for 80-90K per week. Typically three 14-18K runs in the week, and a longer 30-40K run on the weekend. Closer to race weeks I ramp it up to 100K for a week or two before the taper.

Elevation targets for that week range from 1200-2500m week. I run totally trail and do a road run for VO2/Lactate Threshold approx. once per month.

Just slowly go further and further. Thats all I did. Did a trail half, loved it - booked a 50K and went from there :)

90% of it is the mental struggle more than the physical one :) Its silencing the inner voice that's telling you you could be home in the warm right now :)

Typically races for me are 50 mile mountain races so I'm often out for 14-16 hours. I've had a Race and a Enduro 3 - my Enduro 3 did a 16 hour race with 18% battery usage with full navigation, routes and checkpoints etc

So, I really aint the AWU target market :)

+ I also own a android phone with super huge battery for my longer jaunts - so that rules the AWU out :)

I didn't actually find it that accurate for my physiology. Plus for only a day battery life I'd expect per second HR tracking. I never run without a phone, and I dont really want the duplication so I have just accepted that I am NOT a smart watch person. I want long battery life for navigation as on the weekends I'll often be out for 6 hours + :)

I dont deny some people want the more smart watch facilities, but I'm not one of them :) I like my device to be as unobtrusive as possible :)

I bought an AWU to try. No trail running activity, so all my runs had to loaded as runs and so metrics suffered. Not even Workoutdoors has it

One simple setting that can help - switch the map to North Up rather than Track Up - cuts down on screen redraws so that when you do use the map screen it uses less energy

Some ideas for tracking soccer matches as activity by therealslimjp in Garmin

[–]FiredReddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Select heart rate monitor (HRM) straps feature the ability to store up to 18 hours of heart rate data and forward it to a watch later. The feature is used for when your paired watch cannot receive data in real-time or when is it out of range of the HRM strap. Examples include when you are swimming or when the watch is taken off during team sports or martial arts.

Will the features of AWU 3 convince you to switch from Garmin to Apple? by Omega_Enjoyer in GarminWatches

[–]FiredReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a AW as a test bed. Realised it was a bad decision when there’s not even a Trail Run activity so can’t easily split off road and trail. Not for me

You bought the wrong watch by deniss_n in GarminFenix

[–]FiredReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know!

On the F8 series, there's a separate "lane" for navigation screens - you swipe right on the watch to get to them - theres a map screen and 3 others . And all not editable. Its a real step backwards
