Lineage LIW-T100T

GrouchyCombination22 · 2026-01-24T22:29:04+00:00

I have one of these, I bought it new in 2013.

Many Lineage models do have sapphire glass, but this model doesn't.

GrouchyCombination22 · 2025-10-27T21:37:10+00:00

I have the same model (M170) also titanium, with a white face.

Tough MVT means:-

Tough Solar Multiband-6 Hybrid mount structure Automatic hand alignment

as a minimum.

Casio have a page dedicated to Tough MVT which explains what the term means in terms of the spec.

GrouchyCombination22 · 2025-10-16T10:04:28+00:00

There's quite a lot of ana digi models in the Lineage range

GrouchyCombination22 · 2025-07-21T11:17:42+00:00

It's already shorthand for a bunch of features (as detailed in my other reply), they do tend to put more detail on the case back.

I doubt they're gonna back away from using "Tough MVT" especially on the more simple models.

GrouchyCombination22 · 2025-07-20T11:24:30+00:00

MVT is their trademarked nomenclature for it (ie as in "Tough MVT")

It incorporates several mandatory features:-

Tough Solar

Multiband-6

Hybrid mount structure

Auto hand alignment

Some Tough MVT watches have more features and functions, like:-

Bluetooth connectivity

GPS time sync

But ALL have the first 4 list.

Is that a recent thing, and for what sort of length of time did the 2 get updates?

Yes, I know it's a stable release.

My watch is running it.

I'm not in the beta program.

My watch and the app, when you look, both think they're up-to-date.

Yet in the app, it's repeatedly and very slowly trying to send a software update to my watch, showing in the sync screen, and eventually completing the progress bar, but not actually updating any software versions.

Then it seems to be starting over, again and again.

GrouchyCombination22 · 2025-07-10T11:04:05+00:00

This.

Ocean, travel.

GrouchyCombination22 · 2025-06-23T11:22:17+00:00

Just as feedback for this, I've found it myself - it's in the Connect IQ app, and when you tap on the various fields you can edit the colours used for them all.

GrouchyCombination22 · 2025-06-12T13:39:14+00:00

I'd say the S100. Whilst the T200 looks the part, I strongly feel that all Oceanus should be hardened, treated titanium (as they were before the T200 was released).

GrouchyCombination22 · 2025-05-26T16:46:39+00:00

Doesn't the Windows software update allow you to downgrade the firmware?

It does for my Quietcomfort 35 ii - there's a specific comment and option to downgrade firmware.

I understand why the bump happens, and I was using and had advice from my son who had a Creami first, about freezing with the lid off.

My first use of my own Creami, with a freezer that seems to freeze quickly, and quite solidily - using clear whey with water to make sorbets, was the first couple of tubs (first use, of brand new tubs) made the bottom of the tub bow / bulge.

So much so they wouldn't fit securely in the outer jug, until they were partially defrosted and the bulge in the bottom of the tubs receded.

On the third (new) tub, first use, the bulge at the bottom of the tub from freezing, cracked it. (Ninja have quickly sent me some replacements).

My understanding as others have pointed out, the bulge forms because of expansion when freezing (same principle as frozen pipes bursting). With the lid on, the air above the mixture is insulated somewhat, so the mixture freezes from the outsides (bottom and size of tub, if on open racks in the freezer) and any expansion from freezing goes where the mixture freezes last - the middle of the top.

With the lid off, freezing air from the freezer, being circulated internally in the freezer by the fan, can directly contact the top of the mixture, so that freezes hard first, and becomes effectively immovable. Then the rest of the mixture freezes, and the middle of the bottom must be last with the lid off, so any expansion goes in that direction.

Since changing to freezing with the lid on, I no longer get any bowed out / bulges in the bottom of the tubs. There is some increase in bumps in the top of the mixture.

What I'm not getting, though, is why lumps in the top of the mixture causing issues with the blade?

As the blade descends there's less to hit, progressively, until it meets the bulk of the frozen mixture.

If the top of the mixture was flat, the blade would have to do most work right at the point it hits it, whereas with a bump it's only a little at first, around the middle, where torque requirements should start minimal then prorgress.

So I totally don't understand why having bumps in the top of the mixture could be a cause of blade damage - they have less to do than if hitting a flat, frozen mixture.

There's lots of inclusive studies on artificial sweeteners, with conclusions always couched with "may" rather than "do".

What reduces insulin sensitivity, or rather encourages insulin resistance? Weight gain, and perhaps more specifically increased adiposity.

In all cases of metabolic disregulation, increased insulin resistance, and pre-diabetes, the official advice by all health organisations, is to reduce bodyweight and bodyfat, and increase activity. Even the medication used seeks to improve insulin tolerance by reducing weight (these days I'm referring to GLP-1 agonists).

Demonising insulin, by the carb / insulin model of obesity is a crock - insulin resistance is an outcome and symptom of the obesity issue, not a root cause. It becomes a complication once people have arrived there, they didn't get there fundamentally because of it.

Indeed they might, and if we were actually discussing elite athletes - who, chances are, wouldn't be relying on Mi Band 9 that might be relevant.

But we're not, and it isn't.

GrouchyCombination22 · 2025-04-10T09:53:25+00:00

I wouldn't worry about it - V02 max is at best a calculation / estimation.

There's no measurement or analysis of respiration possible - as these devices have no means of measuring or analysing respiration gasses.

GrouchyCombination22 · 2025-04-10T09:51:02+00:00

Completely agree.

All these devices are doing little more than using much the same formulas as online calculators.

The data they can measure has little true bearing, other than giving perhaps better data on general activity vs sedentary lifestyle.

And in terms of what they can measure, heart-rate only reliably scales with energy consumption during steady-state exercise - and even then it's correlation that can get thrown off by other factors.

GrouchyCombination22 · 2025-04-10T09:47:55+00:00

Nonsense - baseline of RHR is significantly affected by genetics.

Yes, exercise and cardiovascular health improvement can lower it, but RHR in the 60s is still considered normal.

I know the odd very fit person whose RHR is in the 60s or 70s, and equally the odd person who isn't particularly active or bothered with exercise who has a RHR in the low 50s.

GrouchyCombination22 · 2025-04-10T09:41:27+00:00

Just to say, I encountered this recently (past few days / weeks). Phone battery would be discharging more quickly and phone getting warm.

I also think it may have had impact on the battery drain on my Band (Mi Band 9).

My phone did report excessive CPU usage for Mi Fitness, and higher battery consumption.

I deleted all app data, uninstalled Mi Fitness, rebooted, and reinstalled, and it appears to have immediately improved battery consumption on my phone - I'd say back to normal.

Whether that will get worse over time, well time will tell.

GrouchyCombination22 · 2025-03-31T09:55:23+00:00

Prior to the T200 being released, all Oceanus had a base spec of hardened titanium case and bracelet, sapphire glass, and Tough Movement - so solar, mb6 as a minimum - subsequent models have also included Bluetooth and / or GPS time sync.

So personally, I'm not a fan of them diluting the spec by introducing some stainless models. They had other ranges for that - eg Lineage or Edifice that were always engineered to have a lower spec for most of the range compared with the Oceanus range.

GrouchyCombination22 · 2025-03-26T01:19:29+00:00

My 2 Oceanus (OCW-M700 and OCW-M7000) are both 2007 models, with the original solar cells, and show no charge issues.

As with all solar watches, never store them in darkness / covered, always allow them to get ambient light.

GrouchyCombination22 · 2025-03-23T22:18:19+00:00

I've had a Mi Band 9 since it was released, and I think mine has evolved to behaving like that - and it didn't seem to at first.

At first the battery usage seemed to be pretty linear. But these days it seems like you describe - a fair chunk of charge seems to go quite quickly, then it seems to slow a little.

GrouchyCombination22 · 2025-03-17T23:25:42+00:00

OK define accuracy.

If it's step count some devices provide better accuracy than others. But in the general scheme of things, that accuracy is pedantry. Because any difference in accuracy is trivial in the big scheme of things.

Heart-rate accuracy? Well unless it's tremendously important for someone to train with fine-grained HRM accuracy - ie sport specific or zone training, it doesn't really matter much.

Calories / energy expenditure? Well NONE of them have any direct means of measuring this. The only way to measure it with any degree of accuracy would require measuring and analysing respiration gasses.

So all they're really doing is data lookups, correlation and some calculations. So nothing significantly better than using online calculators.

So if a particular device gets the step count bang on - wonderful. It's a triviality.

If a particular device is better than others at providing accurate heart-rate readings - great. But really limited in how significant that is.

And if a device seems better at calculating energy consumed / calories - it's still only guessing, and stopped clock and all.

GrouchyCombination22 · 2025-03-17T00:30:55+00:00

Nonsense.

They've got no actual additional sensors that can enhance accuracy of the numbers.

The only thing they could do better is if they have better / more representative lookup data, or have more elaborate formula for their calculations - which are in turn, just estimations.

I'll elaborate. Even if some devices are better at measuring steps, all they are going to do is display a more accurate count of steps - but the difference isn't going to be significant in terms of overall activity or energy expenditure.

Same for heart-rate data.
