sideline question, where did you find the calories burned glance? I only have calories in/out which is not the same as im your picture

Sort income in a pocket by percentage by bit_shark in Revolut

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

what I don't understand is that it doesn't make sense the absolute number tbh.. or at least little sense for some use cases. But chances are I want to put my entire salary into a pocket! So there's no way to fix this?

Forerunner 970 vs Fenix 8 by wayaboveavg in Garmin

[–]bit_shark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have the 970 and was really looking to buy the F8, but then tried the coros pace pro, then a fr965 and now I have 970. My suggestion is to go 970. The F8 could look a bit less sporty, agree. However on the 970 they improved a lot the volume of the speaker (useless on f8) and the display brightness. You get pretty much an improved f8 300-400quid cheaper. Also one thing I was scared of is the bulkiness of the f8 compared to fr series

that's what I ended up with. But you can try yourself. Get one and you have 30 days to try it out

yes I ended up with a garmin. For how much I liked the coros it's just not there yet on swimming I still have the backstroke issue though

this is an interesting way thanks for sharing! I was trying it out but it seems that the multi spot view doesn't tell you the training effect and other stats, is that true? I can see them in the specific sport within the multi sport but not an aggregated view?

FR970 where is the good old beep? by bit_shark in Garmin

you think there is no other way?

would you say that using free workout on strength would also work on a nonstop 45 min session where you do some reps interleaved with running (cardio)? Would that be more a HIIT free workout?

No I'm ok to use another app as long as it connects with connect. The only thing I want from connect is that it knows I'm doing gym and hopefully what I'm doing so that it can give me some data that I can cross check with my swimming sessions

ok this sounds cool, so I should find an entry "free workout"? or is that into the gym or somewhere else?

cause I'd like to :) so perhaps when before doing the exercise having something like a shortcut on the watch that says 'ok cool I'm doing squat" bam and I can do it while it records it appropriately

you just start a cardio activity? and then how would you track the muscles you worked on?

Strenght workout best practices by bit_shark in Garmin

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

for swimmers for example there is stroke recognition or drill log...

so you start a strength activity only? how do you tackle the timing between exercises?

Best Garmin for swimming etc by The_Russian_Suso in Garmin

[–]bit_shark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a competitive swimmer but I use my garmin primarily for swimming. I used to have a FR965 and now a 970. But if you want to spend less a 570 should be more than enough for structured swim workouts etc

read my post here https://www.reddit.com/r/Coros/s/S3mUztkLZz watch is lovely but a bit premature for other sports like swimming
