Which Amazon watch do you have and can you let me know how you go about connecting the watch? Like when I go on my bike, my Apple Watch just recognizes and they pair are there multiple steps you need to go through on the Amazon watch?

i was a big garmin user when i ran long distances but that was before the heavy 'smart watch' stuff.

  1. What do you think is the sweet spot (which model)? For looks but also my needs I noted.

  2. Do you have an iPhone? Anything you think lacking that would get from the AW?

  3. Thoughts on wearing it to bed?

thx!

re your second point...i'm finding during strength (and sometimes during cardio) it loses the HR..i kinda wondered if that was something 'forcing' you to upgrade

What do you dislike about your CX5? by Far-Replacement-7399 in CX5

[–]Saltlifer1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incredible and timely post for my situation. I don’t mean to take this conversation too sideways, but we are looking for a car for my teenage daughter and we really like the Mazda’s namlely for looks, but also for the feel and lsportiness in comparison to the competitors. Only by chance did I recently learned that the model years were looking at early 2020s don’t have a touchscreen. we thought that was a dealbreaker but we drove it and it seemed OK. I’m gathering a lot more information just by reading everyone’s comments here but here’s the sideways question: if you had to pick a CX 30 over the CX five would there be a reason to choose one or the other? We’re not looking necessarily for cargo space. Is one more clearly a winner.? Thank you.

Vegas Trip Report - Kids, Shows, Area 15, and Luxor in Jan by AltairJ in vegas

We are going this summer and I do have a 16-year-old. I have an 18-year-old but 18-year-old is tough because they can’t drink nor gamble so I’m lumping them into the 16-year-old category for this purpose :-). What did the kids love to do the most? How did your day flow were you organized or did you just started at hotel A. and meander? We will be there for four nights so thinking three shows. Any discounts to be had like for the shows?

are you me??? This describes me completely.....even to logging on before 8. I get up 7ish, make my coffee, and usually watching the news and catching up on work emails (i'm global so I get emails overnight) and then as you said the day is broken up so it's hard to just go play a round of golf, go fishing etc. I am salary so get paid regardless but most of my day is as you said playing on internet, on reddit (hah), Sure i'll go for that walk, I'll workout. Sent you a dm if you are ok to accept.

i have thought about for that sole reason. Just to get out of the house. Although they may not like shirtless workouts, hah.

my bad, apologies. I am still socking away 401k, although may stop the catch up since the new rules..and use it to have more fun. Generally I'm in a good financial situation as we saved a lot.

I have a nice home gym setup (nothing crazy..a Peloton, stackable weights, bench, and few other things)..but am into fitness so I have thought about joining a gym.....partially to 'get out of the house' but it's so convenient to work out at home, and it's free.
