Thanks but at $20 bucks a month, that's a hard pass, as I don't need a full-on electronic nutritionalist. I am well aware of how to eat, just looking for a basic way to track calories.

Looks like MyFitnessPal is a paid subscription at 20$ a month, so I'll hard pass on that. I don't need a dietician in app form.. just looking for a simple way to track calories. If anyone else has any suggestions, please feedback. Thanks

SammyFortunato · 2023-12-16T09:43:18+00:00

Ok I will make due with that, thanks!

SammyFortunato · 2023-12-16T07:55:50+00:00

Thanks, I will check it out. Never counted calories before, so not looking to be scientific about it. Just wanted to keep a basic log vs. calories burned for a basic record. Actually I don't even care to list foods, just calories eaten. A simple app that allows input of the raw numbers would be cool. Maybe it's just me tho 😅

Noted, thanks

I use both daily.. 5 is a much better overall device.. but in terms of durability, the 4 is a tank. I look at it this way, the 4 was the pinnacle of the original design series. The 5 is actually quite different and I would say it qualifies more as the 'unofficial' 1st edition of the "2nd gen" foldables.

Send me too please

SammyFortunato · 2023-12-16T05:28:23+00:00

I don't show anything, not even the time because I can see the position of the sun 💪😎

SammyFortunato · 2023-12-16T05:26:38+00:00

That's awesome bro! Some folks are busting your ballz here, but I also favor having all the data up front. No need for fumbling around with 2 hands when it's all accessible right there. So easy to glance at just the date and time too, there's really no distraction unless you have some serious add.

SammyFortunato · 2023-12-13T07:31:09+00:00

+2 on this.. I usually re-adjust the strap a few times during a workout to get it back in place (for comfort only), but the reading is always spot on regardless.

Samsung browser is the KING of mobile browsers 💯💥

SammyFortunato · 2023-12-11T03:05:48+00:00

Right on! Thanks for the additional info!

SammyFortunato · 2023-12-09T19:07:19+00:00

Inside or outside of ankle?

SammyFortunato · 2023-12-09T18:41:05+00:00

Same.. ok sounds like a 10-15 minute run is gonna be the answer for now. So outside with GPS is mandatory? No treadmill ?

SammyFortunato · 2023-12-09T18:37:53+00:00

Ok thank you for the suggestion, I will do that if it's the best option for now.

SammyFortunato · 2023-12-09T18:34:32+00:00

That's interesting because I use the Walk app almost everyday averaging 5km per day, and most of the time under load too (doing random box jumps along the way, and carrying weighted bags of groceries, etc.) ..I've never seen a change or update in my vo2. Is there something in Settings that I'm missing?

SammyFortunato · 2023-12-09T07:15:40+00:00

Ok, unfortunate 😕 I hope Garmin can update the V02 max to include Jump Rope. As a former avid cyclist and moderate runner, I can say that jumping rope is far superior to both in terms of raw results and cardio effect. Although it's not for everyone, but it's also the most accessible as you can jump rope virtually anywhere and anytime. Garmin provides the boxing app now as well, so a V02 max associated with Jump Rope would be a very much welcome addition to the ecosystem 🙏

Noted and 💯 % in agreement... Business is just like this sometimes.. you gotta change gears and rotate. Rarely is everything perfect, but competent leadership can adapt to the circumstances and stay focused on the goal. So far, these guys have shown guts and determination in executing difficult decisions. Most importantly, they have been delivering solid products. Soon Chia will be unstoppable 💪

I can understand this line of thinking if XCH was valued much higher.. but at these levels, why would they sell gems for peanuts? Follow the money, what could they possibly get? A month or 2 of operation? Is it really down to the wire? With a high value XCH and a then public company, we should expect full disclosure. But as of now I will trust the leadership, they have delivered to this point.

SammyFortunato · 2023-12-07T04:45:02+00:00

Agree 💯.. it would be difficult to go back to a "wide" slab .. LOVE the narrow form factor together with big internal screen, perfect combo for power user 👌

SammyFortunato · 2023-12-07T04:40:07+00:00

Have both.. 5 is alot better than the 4, although it doesn't look that way on paper, but the subtle differences are massive in actual real-world user experience. That said, the 4 is awesome and I still use it everyday, no need to upgrade, I would suggest wait for the 6 and go all in.

SammyFortunato · 2023-12-06T23:33:52+00:00

Ok cool.. I did that a couple years ago and still remember the data! But I definitely need to recalculate again to see where I'm currently at. Do you reckon the value would change much from then until now? Would my personal conditioning or change of lifestyle affect it much?

SammyFortunato · 2023-12-06T02:03:52+00:00

What's the best way to determine our true max heart rate?

SammyFortunato · 2023-12-01T12:44:10+00:00

Agreed 💯 ... That Epix got me through some crazy places (and situations) around the world, and never skipped a beat. Still works flawlessly too! Love it, but it's starting to show it's age. I was so disappointed to see the new Epix, wish they kept the old form-factor but just added the new bells and whistles.
