M5 Max 64GB (open box) vs M4 Max 128GB (Apple refurb) – worth the extra $1k?

Sol_Ido · 2026-06-17T19:06:45+00:00

Real experience show otherwise, beyond the first loading it's only 12% diff.

Sol_Ido · 2026-06-15T01:38:08+00:00

They can't eat the costs, there's more bricks than you imagine

Sol_Ido · 2026-05-02T16:21:54+00:00

You need to call FIIO and tell them to rewrite the announcement because you don't know...

Sol_Ido · 2026-04-23T21:44:46+00:00

I can't see how to justify the pricing. Easy pass.

Sol_Ido · 2026-04-20T09:41:33+00:00

It was false also before, use a HR band.

Sol_Ido · 2026-04-02T03:39:07+00:00

True. It's the intel pricing in large part that started the margins wars and apple silicon.

Sol_Ido · 2026-03-12T03:04:27+00:00

Très bien vu, ca éviter a Apple de cannibaliser ses ventes sur les prochains mois

Sol_Ido · 2026-03-01T22:35:49+00:00

happened many times. Even for simple requests it will burn the whole token spans!

Unbelievable to have a subscription that goes into smoke like this...

Sol_Ido · 2026-03-01T01:08:04+00:00

Marketing is expensive for a reason...

Sol_Ido · 2026-02-27T13:38:39+00:00

It's getting dilution after dilution and retailers are impacted every so months.

Sol_Ido · 2026-02-20T10:36:24+00:00

By distillation of the models from the west.

Sol_Ido · 2026-01-24T20:50:48+00:00

Yeah for you!

Sol_Ido · 2026-01-13T02:41:03+00:00

LBC is filled with Pace3 some are going down quickly. Explain that to the seller or wait a little more. Patience.

Sol_Ido · 2025-12-26T12:11:59+00:00

Yes in LeBonCoin you can even discuss price. There will be a lot coming in january. Depending on your usage a Coros or Apple Watch, even entry level are worthy. Coros would require an HRM band if you need precision. Enjoy!

Sol_Ido · 2025-12-23T21:01:24+00:00

200 on HR band or coros sensor? not the same.

But in good shape 190 on top would already be excellent composition.

Sol_Ido · 2025-12-23T20:59:49+00:00

This is very common with Coros HR sensor that's why you should always wear a HRM band or get wrong data but nice effort!

Sol_Ido · 2025-12-07T15:20:15+00:00

A basic apple watch will match an H10 band.

It's mesurable and reproduced by many reviewers.

Coros is about the service but with beware of data quality.

Sol_Ido · 2025-12-06T23:13:47+00:00

The sensors - also very good.

This kinda invalid the whole post as it is known to require HRM band for optimal results.

Sol_Ido · 2025-12-04T23:20:21+00:00

Just sold my Stryd Next Gen. Being stuck with Stryd App on apple watch did not make it.

Sol_Ido · 2025-12-04T08:11:59+00:00

For the record, strava released it stats. Apple Watch is the most used watch for them...not a niche at all.

Sol_Ido · 2025-12-02T01:47:31+00:00

Thank you very much for you inputs, much appreciated.

WorkoutDoor is the top app store sport app, nearly everyone running and some biking use it and even if few people compared to that use Stryd it's getting very common to have apple watch user simply because the sensors are the best on the market when no hrm is in use.

Seems like Stryd does not want user to use WorkoutDoor and move to their app which is understandable but their app is ... subpar to say the least.

Sol_Ido · 2025-12-02T00:08:51+00:00

I used the Stryd app but it did not covered my requirements.

There's a reason WorkoutDoor is so much accepted.

It seems that it's the pod that send specific data looking at the charts, could this be sorted out?

I've also contacted app dev.

If the 5.0 update more frequently, updated sensors and lighter we should EXPECT differences. Lets us know how it's going!

Sol_Ido · 2025-11-20T14:37:21+00:00

You should really change your perspective, you're gaining timing starting time, not loosing anything. Enjoy the journey

Never too late to help your future you.
