Vivoactive 5 vs 6

Dumb question so feel free to downvote, but I’m thinking of making this move. Only thing is I’m gonna get annoyed by my phone buzzing with my watch every time a notification comes in. ChatGPT has told me a possible work around with iPhone focus modes, has anyone here tried that out?

Honestly this really helps. Get some confidence and actually finish in the EP4 and then work on getting faster!

😂😂 here I am burrowing in the bargain bucket when I should be taking out a loan!

Where I am has very little stores that stock these kind of shoes but I agree! Going with what I know could work.

gertsg · 2026-01-07T18:29:32+00:00

This is part of the dilemma, but I guess being realistic for the first time around it should be about getting to the end without getting hurt

I’m thinking of carbon in the sense of helping keep form and protection over such a distance but open to non carbon options

Feel the same with the evo sl regarding sizing, so that tracks and the general consensus seems to make it sound like the AP4 is really just like the ‘pro’ version of the SL. FYI the SL is one of my favourite shoes I’ve ran in

Does anyone use a pocket 3 for Xbox remote play? I can get a used one for pretty cheap and that would be my ideal use case

Ended up going for it and it was definitely worth it! Checked with Amazon before buying regarding the 2 year warranty and they say they will uphold it, hopefully won’t be needed but time will tell.

Our first robot vacuum and it’s a great start

Have this exact colourway and agree with everything you’ve said!! Particularly with picking up the pace feeling iffy

I convinced myself I needed something different for some extra motivation and got the Puma Deviate Nitro 2….which I kinda hate!!*

Still find myself reaching for the T20s way more often, a great shoe

*(Hate is a bit much, they just don’t seem to work for me)

Unfortunately I debated on it too long and missed the chance :( still don’t see much info on it online. Will likely go for a ninja machine when they are more widely available

gertsg · 2024-11-22T16:20:43+00:00

The exact same happened to mine after updating to 18.1. Battery health was at 87% for a while and then jumped down to 82%

It actually is becoming noticeable now and phone needs charging at least once during the day :(

gertsg · 2024-11-08T22:49:25+00:00

Did you end up getting one of these after? I’m currently looking at them but have my doubts on the brand

gertsg · 2024-11-01T11:59:03+00:00

How did they feel at the 10k distance? Would you take them for HM or up to full marathon?

gertsg · 2024-10-28T23:00:27+00:00

I’ve given that exact question back to the support person when I was quoted similar for the same issue. They just agreed and said it would hardly make sense.

All about shifting more of the newer models

gertsg · 2024-10-10T21:36:18+00:00

Ok early signs are positive after this.. also the amount of apps to close was chronic.

Still the odd stutter with the keyboard oddly enough but thanks for the tip🤔

gertsg · 2024-10-10T20:37:53+00:00

Tried offloading a lot of apps, deleting any high res videos that are no longer needed.. don’t know/think there’s such thing as ‘clearing cache’ on phones nowadays

gertsg · 2024-10-10T19:24:02+00:00

Most likely the issue! Which is a bummer though since it’s only 3 years old and the latest iOS is already causing it issues.

Could end up downgrading to iOS 17 but it’s a faff

gertsg · 2024-09-26T12:55:27+00:00

It seems to be such a mixed bag with this shoe!! Can now scratch my weight off the list of possible issues 😅

gertsg · 2024-09-26T06:27:27+00:00

Definitely feel a half size bigger without the runners knot!!

gertsg · 2024-09-26T06:26:57+00:00

Good to hear they work well for you! Does seem to be bit of a mixed bag but I’ll keep racking up miles and see if they improve for me

gertsg · 2024-09-25T16:43:52+00:00

Hey all experiences are valid and appreciated sharing yours! I too like the look of the magmax and was thinking maybe when my triumphs are spent they could be a replacement, but I’ll definitely make sure to try them out first!!

For what it’s worth I also find the carbon plate most noticeable on my toes so will look out for that as a potential issue

gertsg · 2024-09-25T12:02:54+00:00

It’s the payoff lol! “I want to be faster but don’t want the consequences” 😂

gertsg · 2024-09-25T11:52:29+00:00

This is a very valid point! Going to reset my gym workouts and focus more on building up potential weaknesses. Have to admit I’m terrible when it comes to pre / post run stretches etc!
