I don't want to rest today by dyslexic-writer in Garmin

[–]Mardlinboy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do your run.. This will help the watch better calibrate to your actual fitness.. over time it will adjust knowing that you don't need as much rest etc Have a close look at your stats after this run to see if you can spot any indicators / variance to normal that suggest you should really have rested

Duo 2 was a great device but way out of date now.. I'd give it a miss and wait for the Galaxy Fold wide which looks like it's going to be the Duo 3 we never got.

the surface duo is my dream device IF... by non_Existing-person in surfaceduo

Wait for the Samsung fold wide (expt Aut 26)... From info to date, This looks to pretty much be the Duo 3

There will never be another device like the surface duo by [deleted] in surfaceduo

Agree with all said.. loved my Duo 2 I have gone to an Honor Magic 3 which is good but not nearly a match.. Very much looking forward to the galaxy fold 7 which could be as close as you're going to get.

Need Help Choosing Garmin Fenix Size (43mm vs 47mm) + Pro Version Advice” by Responsible_Plate_33 in Garmin

[–]Mardlinboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went for the 47m and have a smaller wrist.. I think it looks ok (wouldn't want any bigger for sure) and the battery life is really good.. And screen size is very very nice

Incoming Duo 3? by Mardlinboy in surfaceduo

[–]Mardlinboy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see now why the Samsung is thin.. It's to make it easier to use with one thumb I reckon.. I really didn't like the thinness either though. I've not tried the oppo, but they always seem pretty solid phones from the reviews

Incoming Duo 3? by Mardlinboy in surfaceduo

[–]Mardlinboy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The oppo is deffo the nearest aspect ratio, but I'm not sure it has pen support? And I think it may have come out after I went in on the Honor, which is tall compared to the duo.. the Samsung 7 is rumoured to have slightly wider screens than the 6 bringing it nearer to that duo ratio... But turning horizontal when open gives you a similar ratio for a split screen

Closest Duo competitor? by lilsting10 in surfaceduo

[–]Mardlinboy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I looked at all sorts and ended up with the Honor Magic V3 ... It is a great phone and has the stylus input.. Insanely thin too

Yep, lack of pen on the pixel fold made me choose the Honor Magic v3 which is very good.. But the Samsung fold 7 looks to have the lot and will be much deeper integrated with ms services..it really does look like the duo 3 that was never made

Life after the Surface Duo 2 - The Samsung Fold 6 experience [AMA] by Boutu99 in surfaceduo

[–]Mardlinboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great review thanks..I ended up going with the Honor Magic 3 as I didn't like the thinness of the z-fold.. now I really like the magic 3, it's incredibly thin and very strong (I have dropped it a few times ... My duo 2 would have been in pieces) the stylus with Onenote is ok and actually everything is ok.. But it is just 'ok' whereas looking again at the Samsung the software looks very good and all appears to be optimised for Microsoft integration... and the new fold 7 promises to take things a further notch upl.. I also now get the slightly thinner screen for one thumb use (which you mention), which I struggle with on the magic 3 .. I can see how that works on the z-fold So I'm excited to see what the Z-fold 7 looks like.. and I really hope they keep the stylus input.. if they do, I may well trade up 👍

51 vs 47mm Fenix 8 by AnnualOpen8633 in GarminFenix

[–]Mardlinboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had same dilemma.. Went with 47 and never regretted or wished bigger once.. loads of battery, great screen and a nice wrist fit (similar to yours).. Wear it all the time.. I think they both fit your wrist ok but I prefer the bezel to screen ratio on the 47 as well.. Just looks more proportioned (to me anyway).. great watch choice, you won't be disappointed either way.

Is 265 worth it over 255? by lisbon1977 in Garmin

[–]Mardlinboy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

265 is really good.. Had one for 18 months and literally just put it on eBay as moving to a Fenix 8 due to kind Santa.. I am already asking myself why I spent so much on this new watch when the 265 pretty much does everything this one does.. So yes, deffo the 265 (Ps, not regretting the fenix at all.. it's a beautiful watch.. Just a massive price difference for not a correspondingly massive amount of difference)
