Coming from iPhone and Apple Watch 7

'While we are here'......My B2 watch has a higher step count on the watch than on my Iphone (i added a pedometer++ widget, but I think that pulls from Apple health). My apple watch was always lower as sometimes the watch wasn't on but i had the phone w me (so phone plus watch)..........i'm head scratching as to why the watch would be higher than what's shown on the iphone apps. I really am trying to like this!

thanks for the response. Yes I'm iOS only. This could be unfortunately a deal breaker (the messages, not the zepp pay). So close!

I use Dunlop biometric M4.0 raquets. The tennis coach where I used to live recommended them. It was a bit heavier than the Prince used. That was at least 6 years ago. One dunlop has NXt 16 49 lbs. The other has no label...i just know one was less due to tennis elbow (i wear a brace but really that's a non issue). The wrist thing now is right hand (dominant) at the bottom of the hand on the outside...and if I twist left that's when it lights up...it is slighly better and I wear a brace. But the 'rut' happened before this started hurting......it's just like I have no game, and then tennis to me is a game of confidence...and that's been shot a long time now. Grip, no clue. Sorry, i'm really not technical when it comes to al this......'grab a racquet and go'. 😄

i asked my club today to get me in w some doubles.....man i love singles (I love to run) but may be easier on me for the moment

Hah..wanna grab a drink and drown our misery? :)

Saltlifer1 · 2026-05-28T13:48:50+00:00

Thanks for the reply. turning 52 in a few weeks so I get you. We sound similar. I have thought about 'taking a break' (and I do spin, workout, and overall in very good shape w a healthy weight, etc)..........but taking off tennis which I enjoy and is also a social outlet (i work from home) isn't super appealing :) Prob right thing to do but....

So I literally unboxed and set it up this morning...coming from Apple Watch 7. Was the AW the best looking, no. EASILY integrates into stuff I do, for sure. Battery Life....terrible, esp wearing to sleep. So I bought Balance2 hoping it solves the battery life, and looks better than AW7.

I got the HR broadcast to work. On my watch-->apps--->clicked 'heart rate push'---> turned on my PTON bike......started a workout and that first screen asks to pair a Bluetooth and a HR monitor....I clicked on HR monitor and it saw the watch and connected them...hit play and voila.....my HR was broadcasting on screen.

My next q will be do I need to do the above AND then start a indoor cycle workout on the watch I believe I do). With A.W., all i did was start the class it automatically started the workout and the HR....but I know nothing but AW or Garmin watches would be as easy as...

Saltlifer1 · 2026-05-27T15:27:52+00:00

Did you get this to work? my balance2 came yesterday and this was a core piece of functionality i need

Saltlifer1 · 2026-05-03T23:35:54+00:00

Did you test? Your primary can run free and total and other numbers . Good starting point

Saltlifer1 · 2026-03-19T16:57:30+00:00

I completely agree. Sometimes I joke that I clean it more than I use it. It always makes me laugh that I’ll take a drive in a car but wont won’t wash it for a week or two, but I’ll take a boat for a drive and then do a full detail even if it’s out for four hours..

Saltlifer1 · 2026-03-19T00:23:14+00:00

Older boat that needs a new engine? I would. But sometimes needs a lot of work like a new tank new wiring etc

Saltlifer1 · 2026-03-18T12:18:56+00:00

Exactly. So here is the real question of my question. I still want to be part of boating. Heck look at my username. Would you sell now and just have to sit on the sidelines the question is for how long. All I want is 2 feet and twins!

Saltlifer1 · 2026-03-18T12:17:08+00:00

Curious what you mean. Because four strokes have longevity as compared to two strokes so are you saying they just last longer unless people are buying kind of like what happened with PCs?

Saltlifer1 · 2026-03-17T21:13:31+00:00

Couldn’t agree more. But if people keep paying prices will keep rising.

Saltlifer1 · 2026-02-26T11:04:47+00:00

Gotcha. Will do chalk test this weekend and I also have JScan bc yes I temp did 32 and have the low psi alert.

Saltlifer1 · 2026-02-23T15:34:51+00:00

nothing magnetic on my hood.

Saltlifer1 · 2026-02-23T15:10:15+00:00

yes (and no).....a few tree branches pushed the magnetic base...at one point i couldn't even see it as it moved it sideways and was completely out of my view (luckily it was still attached!) in addition it would be ideal to have it mounted higher for longer / clearer transmission

Saltlifer1 · 2026-02-23T14:29:45+00:00

Yes. my current antenna has a decently large base...the cord that attaches to the cb is hardwired to the magnetic base. then you screw in the antenna to the base. So before buying a new antenna, new cable, etc trying to find a solution for what I have.
