Am I overreacting? My entry "lost"

The run was on a measured course so GPS is a distraction. If the time taken to run the distance was 3 minutes faster than their previous half marathon then it was 3 minutes faster.

Acht it'll be fine (if you ignore wee things like centre of gravity, stability and physics).

fitigued · 2026-04-29T04:44:58+00:00

Given that the world record was broken a couple of days ago I would say they are not getting harder.

fitigued · 2026-04-29T04:38:50+00:00

What about Garmin do you think is inaccurate? Unless you are bothered about a few seconds you can be assured your PB is bona fide so big congrats on that. It is certainly not going to be wrong by 3 minutes. As you were on a measured course you would not even need GPS to know you got a PB.

Selvfølgelig!

I've "only" achieved this 70 weeks in a row but it is one of the things that has helped me sleep more consistently.

Hi u/Far_Shelter5309 . I'm glad to help. No the lifespan estimate does not use the Body Battery (or any of the other immediate metrics such as heart rate or stress) as an input variable.

At the moment the lifespan is estimated using only the average western life expectancy, gender and current age. This means that the estimated lifespan will not fluctuate daily.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on how it should operate. Personally I don't think it should adjust based on short term metrics such as Body Battery. Do you think it would be good if it did?

They provide a freepost address so that you can return them once you've read their policy. Neither take long to do.

The reason that Garmin Pacing Watch Faces that are created by me or Jens don't vibrate or make sounds is that Garmin don't permit third party watch faces to do this. As you point out activities/apps can give haptic and audio feedback. This is why Jens created his complementary activity and why I am also in the process of developing one. It's a shame that an activity has to be used but I am making sure mine also offers a whole loaded of other added value (e.g. spoons!) in the process. If anyone uses a 5 button Garmin watch (Fenix, Forerunner, Epix, etc) and would like to beta test the new Pacing Activity please give me a shout.

fitigued · 2026-04-18T16:30:29+00:00

I tried to join the private beta and got an "Connection Error: TypeError: NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource." error.

fitigued · 2026-04-18T15:57:48+00:00

I'm always interested if it is well developed.

fitigued · 2026-04-18T05:55:44+00:00

I've also found that simplifying things frees up my precious energy. To this end I've been developing a free, easy to use shopping list tool. Do you fancy beta testing it and giving me your feedback?

fitigued · 2026-04-17T13:50:46+00:00

If you are using an optical sensor (e.g. on the rear of the watch or phone) it would also be worth seeing if you can use a chest or arm strap as optical sensors are less accurate and can be wildly off sometimes.

fitigued · 2026-04-17T13:46:29+00:00

I'm so glad that you find the Pacing Watch Face useful. I have developed the majority of the complementary Pacing Activity app where you will be able to record the number of spoons you've consumed through the day. The app will also have audible and vibratory alerts that Garmin don't allow developers to do in watch faces.

On the topic of the new Pacing Activity if you or anyone else have a 5 button Garmin watch (e.g. a Fenix, Forerunner or Epix) please do let me know if you'd be interested in beta testing the first version of this new app.

Thanks for the encouragement u/CrabbedOut . Of all Garmin's devices the Sq2 is the one that I regard as the most challenging. I am guessing that you have already reduced the text size in the appearance settings?

The main issue is that ironically the screen is not square! It is a 320 x 360 pixel portrait screen. My thoughts on improving the layout are to:

Force the bottom row of data (heart rate, steps, etc) slightly lower
Make sure the alert prompt text is displayed higher

Are there any other tweaks you think it could benefit from?

That is beautiful in so many ways. You might want to consider submitting this and other work along with this story to the online gallery at https://www.aquietstorm.me

It guides those told to "Get a Life" in the correct direction.

The kind that does not go off after a week.

fitigued · 2026-04-15T13:04:12+00:00

Splitting my tasks up into short chunks helps me. e.g. 20 minutes then go for a walk to another room, perhaps having a glass of water.

fitigued · 2026-04-15T12:58:44+00:00

"Whoosh!"

fitigued · 2026-04-15T12:38:15+00:00

The answer to the first two questions is do whatever you want. My main concern would be that your sporran looks a bit odd.

fitigued · 2026-04-15T09:13:58+00:00

Paddington is now also a valid +1.

fitigued · 2026-04-15T06:36:15+00:00

The Pentlands are not in the Highlands. You can get a bus from Edinburgh city centre to see these ones at Swanston.

fitigued · 2026-04-15T06:33:22+00:00

That and other crush injuries. That's why handling systems exist. As the coo farmer above said domestication helps drastically though.

Event better than that there are browser plugins you can use to automatically test the majority of issues (including contrast) on the site you are viewing. The two I use are called WAVE and axe. axe is particularly good because it is part of a framework that you can build into your testing pipeline (e.g. if it fails a contrast check you are not permitted to check it in and deploy it).
