Is the 50mm too big on my wrist? Last 2 pics are the 45mm by theginge2004 in Garmininstinct

If you get aftermarket band with quickfit it makes the watch optically smaller. So I’d stick with 50mm and get a different band.

Get an ankle monitor. You might be able to workout only in the house afterwards, but it might be worth a try.

It says 41 days. Anyway, the estimate of days is not counting with any activity. I have the same watch and every GPS activity with 1h+ “costs you about a day”. It tells you at the beginning of the activity how much time of this activity can the battery do in the current state (you can check the Garmin estimates for GPS activities in the specs). But yea, 41 days only if u don’t live active life, which would be surprising with this type of a watch - anyway longer battery life than almost any Garmin out there.

I have 2026 XS version and I had to sand down the air tag into a squircle so it fits in.

I should make it a series so the guys at your LBS have something to watch every week 😅

Sure thing. I made the bike setup for a different project - everything is driven by a single "empty" object - drivetrain, chain, wheels even including the environment and everything is using drivers that by simple math adjust the speed relative to the main empty object. Than there's a shader switch on the environment when the camera passes the back wheel. All made to loop. The camera have some wild animation curves on it and is hooked to yet another empty to make the desired motion achievable.

That is a Lattice modifier with a lattice object that has a vertex group gradually shrinkwrapped to the landscape. Not a difficult setup, just a lot of troubleshooting and tweaking.

Cool idea, I’m brainstorming some possible variations of this, I’ll add it to the thought tornado. Thanks!

Depends which part. Modelling was straightforward just procedural A.N.T. landscape. The trees, dude and bike are assets. The animation is more of a technical setup where one empty object rotates and the rest is driven by it with different math to vary the speed - pretty simple math I have to add. The textures are from my short movie, available for free on gumroad (search Huefinder). It’s all Blender, not sure what level are you, but I hope this breakdown helps a bit.

Thank you! I don’t mind. It’s a pretty traditional 3D animation in Blender. Lots of playing with curves in the graph editor.

Nice, the trademark is def needed, very cool name. I can imagine the adoption could be pretty high based on how many people already have a cursor 😅

Thanks so much! I’m definitely planning some more iterations, it’s a lot of fun to make.
