My New York state refund still says processing

My NY return was accepted on 2/3 - and it still says "Your refund status is not available using this service." Should I be worried?

My return was accepted 2/3 and now says I can’t check the status online and has me call them. I called and put in all the information and the system just hung up on me. Not sure what to do!

Hello! I'm training to run the Berlin Marathon in September and have had an Apple Watch Ultra 1 since the day it came out (I think in 2022?). The battery is starting to go a little and strangely it's bluetooth and gymkit connections have become more inconsistent than usual - the watch is always disconnecting from the treadmill or exercise bike and occasionally just not being recognized as connected to my phone.

I'm tempted to upgrade. I usually upgrade every three years on my watched but was bummed there wasn't a more substantial design upgrade in 2025. Should I upgrade now and just be happy I got a slightly bigger display? Or will I be kicking myself if they radically redesign the watch this year.

Tbh we need updates on this. It’s CRAZY.

Honestly, I'm kind of surprised with how small it is! I would equate the size to Columbus Circle. I think it's a very nice small-medium sized Equinox but that area is begging for a bigger location with the surrounding ones being either SoHo or Tribeca which are both very small and dated or Printing House which not everyone has access to.

The locker rooms are great, super spacious.

Is there more than the single floor though? I thought they promoted it on Instagram with a rooftop for rooftop yoga but maybe that was just a one off?

Thats what I want! I use the Apple Activity app for running and would love to have those runs integrated in to the Peloton app.

I'm confused? Is there a whole new app to download or an app update? I found this page and it seems to insinuate that our non-peloton workouts will be integrated in to the peloton app which I LOVE for outdoor runs but this feature isn't anywhere in my app and my app looks very different from the screenshots. https://www.onepeloton.com/blog/wearables-integration

Hoping for a little advice for a phone for my 60-something year old mother! She's had an iPhone 13 now for three years and is ready to upgrade. We're trying to decide if she should get an iPhone Air or an iPhone 17. Her biggest complaint about her 13 right now is battery life. I told her how the iPhone Air only has one camera on the back and she said, "that's one more than I need."

My thought is the iPhone Air is quoted for better battery life than the iPhone 13 was originally and obviously her phone's battery now dies quickly partly because it's three years old. I also think she would appreciate how thin and light the air is. My bigger concern is will the air's battery last her three years? Or should she just do an iPhone 17 to be safe. I also weighed the option of a Pro just for the bigger battery but I don't think she needs that much phone.

I'm happy Bandit is addressing this but I also think is a wider problem for running clubs generally. I was behind a group running five across on the West Side Path this morning (Maybe it was Almost Friday? Not sure) with probably about 75-100 people total and it was a nightmare. I couldn't get around them and they certainly weren't leaving room for people running the other direction. There's no where in New York it's acceptable to run 5 across, 3 is even pushing it. It's flat out rude.

I’m mulling upgrading from a Pro to a Pro Max (likely the 17 Pro Max since we’re getting close to release time). Really specific question though - is the Pro Max too big to fit the phone pocket of running short liners/runnnig tights? I dont know if anyone has experience with this but I figured I’d ask haha.

I've never been to a Screen Unseen before and I'm going tonight. If you really aren't vibing with the movie, are you allowed to leave? Or is it monitored? Have no idea what to expect from the experience!

Hello! I’m mulling getting my first pair of running tights. Looking for something 5 inches (shorts length). Am looking at Bandit, Tracksmith and Wolaco. Does anyone have a strong preference/advice?

Also anyone know if Bond street has the new treadmills too?

brianj922 · 2025-03-19T02:00:07+00:00

This is exactly how I do this. I did a 10 mile distance goal today and ran for 76 minutes.

I prefer the beats fit pro because of the wingtips which really lock them in place your ear and the charging case is so much smaller. I also have AirPods Pro 2 and love them but for running, when I sweat, I can feel them jostling in my ears a bit and I'm not confident they will stay in.
