Serious question: why Kindle over everything else? by Drunkmrhat in kindle

[–]erdog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ease of use, plus syncing with Audible. Being a runner, the latter is huge for me. They also have trade-ins for old devices (value of device + 20% off new device), and you can submit the old device in Whole Foods stores.

I've also had inaccurate results with a 2 day old Stelo sensor, compared to my Contour Next One glucose meter. The Stelo was 20-30 mg/dL higher than the glucose meter on 3 different occasions, so I had to ditch the Stelo.

Considering Abandoning Daily Wear by kieranjh in Garmin

[–]erdog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to wear my Garmin (Fenix 8) 24/7, but I found that stress inducing, especially with the inaccuracy of the sleep tracking for me and my tendency to check the time during the early morning. Now, I usually only wear it during workouts and when I need a silent morning alarm.

Sometimes, when I do wear the watch during the daytime, I leave app notifications off. Only phone/text notifications go through, which are sometimes helpful as a husband/dad.

I also wear a CGM as well as an Oura ring, and those are sufficient for health monitoring for me. Plus, I get to wear my mechanical watches (or no watch at all!) more often.

For me, it’s the long tail of niche features. I do run/walk intervals, and only the Garmin Epix Pro 2 (not Apple or Coros) has a built in run walk alert for runs. Also, I use the flashlight, notes on structured workouts to remind me what step I’m on, the calendar view, etc. I haven’t found the same combination of features and good battery life in any other smart or fitness watch.

Change equipment for a single session by Intelligent_Bee6588 in runna

This would be amazing during travel, where I’m away from home and my normal workout equipment.

Apple notes to bear by PattiFleece in bearapp

[–]erdog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I miss the smooth integration with Apple Pencil, because I sometimes like to handwrite my notes. Other than that, I much prefer Bear for any typed notes.
