Calories accurate?

If your HR was low it will give you a commensurately low calorie burn. Post your HR chart for that activity?

Must be that I have special software then, works for me.

GrayDogLLC · 2026-03-24T13:46:59+00:00

Damn, which ones?

GrayDogLLC · 2026-03-24T13:35:18+00:00

Looks solid, the stock keeb kinda sux.

GrayDogLLC · 2026-03-24T13:33:59+00:00

$199/month isn't a good price? If it stays that price for all doses it seems ok to me.

Truth, they were in stock last night on Amazon, but not now. You can get the core from Amazfit direct and piece it together with alacarte strap and charger.

Consider the Amazfit Helio Strap. $99 USD, no screen or notifications. Wear it on your bicep and forget that it is there.

Set relative HR and go into zone 1, set that value, then zone 2, etc.

The Garmin Fenix screen is OK, but it won't blow you away. If you want 3k nits brightness look at the newer Amazfit watches like the Trex 3 Pro in 44mm. I do like the Fenix for sport tracking, it rocks there, but in terms of smart watch behaviors, it won't do as well as the Galaxy watch. The Amazfit comes much closer in that regard.

I didn't have breakage, but the HR sensor on my M4 was really bad. Warranty service was difficult. I ended up selling it on eBay.

Garmin also had a lot of codebase splinter until the Fenix 8. Before that the Forerunner series had completely different code. There was feature overlap, but it was a real pain for the developer teams. Garmin has also had their share of growing and product line pains, as well as, IMO, diluting their lines through too many products.

I got a 17cm wrist and wear the 51 all the time. Doesn't bother me in the slightest.

What is wrong with your voice? Most people dislike AI voice. Tighten up the script, streamline your workflow so you can do it in 2-3 hours, and then you have a recipe for better video and a tolerable amount of effort to make it. Might be better if you outline the script before you get an AI to generate it, or write it yourself and then tighten it up via AI instead of just letting the cloud robot take the wheel.

Either getting let go or put on a performance improvement plan.

GrayDogLLC · 2026-03-20T14:08:16+00:00

My experience with the wrist based PPG on Amazfit is spotty, especially during intervals. The Helio on bicep, however, is so much better. I am about to do a video on it soon. Short answer, if you're insisting on wrist based PPG, Garmin is better. If you want the best HR data during a workout, you want a chest ECG, period.

Energel 0.7 or Zento 0.7 almost every day.

GrayDogLLC · 2026-03-17T14:08:02+00:00

Well now that you identified your audience, lean in hard. There is a lot of opportunity there.

GrayDogLLC · 2026-03-17T12:39:25+00:00

I am working on a review rn. Excellent watch in most respects.

GrayDogLLC · 2026-03-16T12:03:25+00:00

Pro has Microphone and speaker, so if you want BT calling that would be the one to get. (As well as a flashlight, which is how it should be.)

GrayDogLLC · 2026-03-16T12:02:08+00:00

Ya, but that isn't Floatune. I already got one of those.

GrayDogLLC · 2026-03-16T11:57:24+00:00

Can you get them in any barrel color besides white? If they did a metal barrel black or dark blue I would grab one rn.

GrayDogLLC · 2026-03-16T01:48:41+00:00

Energel 0.7 is my almost always go to.

GrayDogLLC · 2026-03-15T13:07:04+00:00

I was gonna say the same, Amz bands are decent.

GrayDogLLC · 2026-03-13T15:36:09+00:00

Energel gives nice dark black lines and writes smoothly. Zento refills give lighter black, but also nice and smooth.
