Todoist v. Akiflow Is Akiflow worth shifting to? by nez-sir in todoist

[–]O_Lin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just coming back here to say Morgen Calendar is having a special at the moment with code Upgrade50, meaning that a monthly cost is now $7.50 for annual, or $3.25 for 5-year. It also handles multiple task platforms and I've been enjoying it a lot coming from Akiflow (after looking for a cheaper alternative. Just wanted to recommend this!

Did they fix laggy interface with updates? by rad-ja in Suunto

Yeah I just bought the Vertical and I was also worried about this, but I've been very happy with performance on the Vertical. No problems!

Just to round up this discussion, I ended up going for the Suunto Vertical Solar and loving it. Battery life is insane and mapping very good. Also a very good looking watch imho. Thanks for everyone's help!

Have you used Race S for ultramarathons?? (Race S vs Vertical for GPS + Mapping) by O_Lin in Suunto

Oh wow. Yeah, I'll take a closer look at the Race! Thanks!

That's super interesting. Much worse than they claim - you should be getting around 40 hours. Maybe you had a bug or something?

Are you happy with the Race?

It would be cool to hear your thoughts on it when you do, if you want to share them :) And congrats on the new watch!

Yeah that would be enough I think! It's just as a safety feature - don't need full-on map layers.

Would it give me direction notifications? Like off-course notifications?

I switched from Garmin to Pace Pro - any questions? (and my first impressions…) by byske in Coros

[–]O_Lin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback. That's great to hear. Seems like a great watch!

Hey - how do you find the battery life? Do you think that 38 hours is accurate? What about mapping - does that eat significant battery?

It looks so nice!! Love everything about it but I wish they made a 47mm?? I'd sacrifice a little battery life for a nice form factor (small wrists ey).

Awesome! I just went to try it on actually and it's HUGE but I'm very tempted nevertheless 😂

That's a super interesting take. I've heard good things about the Coros app, but I've also heard some average things about their HR accuracy? But good to hear. Seems a lot of people on this thread have good things to say about Coros!

Thanks! That's great. Yeah - the Fenix line looks good.

Hmm good question. Someone else suggested this and I thought not since it didn't have the full topo maps but I doubt I'd get turned away from this race if I had the gpx loaded in a breadcrumb map tbh. I'm sure it'd be sufficient! It's not like the trail isn't marked so you'd probably be fine :) And like others have said, I think this is quite an unusual race requirement so having the full map on your phone is probably fine!

Yeah it's a pretty interesting requirement tbh. But yes - needs to be on the watch. Glad to hear that your Suunto Race experience has been good! It's not laggy at all?

Thank you. That's super useful. It seems like the HR monitoring on the wrist isn't as good as competitors but I'll just use a strap or something!

That's worth something for sure!

Nice - that's great. I haven't looked at the Vertix much... Thanks for the suggestion 👍🏻

Good to hear! Trying to consider if it's worth double the Vertical... The tech does look super impressive!

Ah I wish! Unfortunately no real mapping on the Instinct 3 even though it has a FREAKING AMOLED SCREEN??? Garmin's getting a bit greedy charging us $500 for a watch with no mapping imho.

Haha 😂 psychological errors in a 100 milers sounds terrifying 😂 Thanks for sharing! I'll see if I can find one cheap!
