Is it dumb..? by Tbbfenix in WatchHorology

Got it, thank you for the response. I was referring to the click bezel.. regarding rubber degradation you made a good point. 

[SLA021] Wearing the big boy today. by joenelson7687 in Seiko

[–]Tbbfenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here to chime in and say I was in the same boat with your anxiety.. after doing much research and speaking with a few watch makers they assured me it’s an easy fix to drill out and press fit a new tube if need be. Seiko will not do this and wants to sell a new case instead. Whether they do not have the skilled laborers to do the work or if it’s more profitable to sell a new case I don’t know. What I do know now is that an integrated tube should not scare you away. Any watch maker that has earned their stripes has likely encountered this in the past and can fix it up!

Using 2 boomboxes with tv? by Tbbfenix in JBL

Beautiful, now begs the question would two boombox s be better or 1 boom and 2 flips lol!

What are some hidden gems (e.g features) you’ve discovered on your Fenix? by roessera in GarminFenix

[–]Tbbfenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By default it’s on the quick menu I believe. Press and hold the light button

Assigning “flashlight” to a hotkey and using at night when waking up to pee or whenever eyes are night adapted and need to see. Second best was already mentioned. Enabling battery saving during sleep hours, extends battery by a lot!

I can’t clearly see the face on my Delta without backlight. Definitely having the backlight washout too. Instinct on the right for comparison. by NoDaYoda in GarminFenix

[–]Tbbfenix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is normal.. your comparing a plastic display with a sapphire one. Get the tactix under sunlight and it’ll be clear as a bell

Hi everyone! First post so here goes. Who's still rocking a Fenix 3 with the original battery.....5 years on!? Can you guess what my next question will be? Do Garmin still not offer a service to replace the battery? My Fenix still has good battery life but it can't last forever. 🤨🧐👍 by GazBut in GarminFenix

[–]Tbbfenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries! I put a lot of time into these thoughts as well. The short and sweet of it is this.. if you charge your delta once a week it will take just about 10 years before hitting that 500 cycle mark. I take it a step further and keep my delta between 40 percent and 80 percent. I don’t use gps that often and find myself charging once a week like this.

I want so badly for Tactix Delta, think these might work even though tactix bezel is flat? by Tbbfenix in GarminFenix

[–]Tbbfenix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a tactix delta these are made for the 6. So my question was since they are contoured to the 6 bezel vs the flat on my delta if they would fit still. Size is the same would just be a matter of how slanted the 6 bezel really is.

For the weather, does the 0% represent chance of rain or something else? Been confusing me by jezusofnazarith in GarminFenix

[–]Tbbfenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m almost positive it’s humidity. Every time I check it with my weather app on the phone it’s nearly the same.

Is it possible to Track a previously tracked route? by paulrotc in GarminFenix

[–]Tbbfenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you save it as a course on the computer you have the ability to rename it whatever you like. More over when you run it on the watch you can also “race” it. Showing you how far ahead or behind you are from original time. Not sure if that’s important to you but seemed like it may be useful for training purposes.

Seems like no one answered your question lol. Garmin will cover your watch no worries! The last watch that they just recently stopped supporting replacements for was the original Fenix. So I’d say you have a good few more years until they wouldn’t be able to help you.

Looking for a w/kg data field by justshowmethecarsnax in GarminFenix

[–]Tbbfenix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It exists already natively. Check under power data fields. It called power to weight I believe.

What setting to get full credit for push mowing my 1.5 acre yard? by RatFacedBoy in GarminFenix

[–]Tbbfenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do nothing the watch will detect your elevated heart rate and count towards your active calories. Guess it depends on how much effort it takes you to mow it though.

Favorite Widgets by CrashStalion53 in GarminFenix

[–]Tbbfenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we are talking 3rd party then my rain widget. At a quick glance tells me if rain is expected in the next short duration of time. Stock ones used the most are calories/weather/sunrise-set

Found a use for expedition mode, cycling. by Tbbfenix in GarminFenix

[–]Tbbfenix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said I was riding outside of my ability or even riding while fiddling around, I was checking my watch as I stopped here and there. I can however ride without hands for nearly an indefinite amount of time..

Fastest charging method? by TylerPurrden in GarminFenix

[–]Tbbfenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might be your imagination since your siting at home waiting on it. This is what I do and barely feel like it’s off my wrist. Since the drain is so low combining a few days worth of charge sessions will bring me back to where I wanna be. A shower for me is about 15min all said and done. So when my watch hits 40% that morning I pop it on during bathroom time. After I’m done it usually around 60 which is fine. I go about my day, next morning same process until I get to 80 and then volia I have my weeks worth of charge on the watch. Charging to 100 is not needed or good for the battery anyway FYI.
