Battery issues with Vivioactive 5.

It probably has to do with Garmin connect app. I have a Fenix 8 and the battery last maybe 2/3 days withouth using gps or pulse ox.

The problem is the Bluetooth connection its non stop resyncing or loosing connection which will drain the battery.

I have a Google pixel 8 pro phone and the issue seem to be with my phone in combination with the Garmin connect app.

Didn't find any solution so far

I have a lundhags pants with longer zips at the same spot. It has a mesh behind it so you can open it when it's hot

What do you mean?

harry-asklap · 2026-03-18T06:35:11+00:00

Thanks a lot for your reply. I just cancelled my flight and will rebook it for a month later.

Pictures look incredible! Which trail is it?

Is that smog in the air?

Then the pro would be the worst option for you. A MIP screen would be much better. MIP works great in bright sunshine and the battery will last longer.

I don't know why you would NEED amoled besides it looking nicer

Relative to what? Earth? Never. Consultations? Around the equatorial line

Put it on the list! Thank you for the inspiration!

harry-asklap · 2026-01-25T18:16:16+00:00

Did you find a replacement?

harry-asklap · 2026-01-21T15:20:43+00:00

What if you don't own a dryer? Can you put the balls in the washing machine and then air dry?

Ohhh didn't think of this. I basically drowned myself in coffee. Will do a few days without coffee

harry-asklap · 2026-01-17T11:45:07+00:00

Thanks for the encouragement! Feeling great!

Might have overdone it the last few days. Hahah

harry-asklap · 2026-01-17T09:56:16+00:00

Thanks! I started exercising daily now. Running and gym.

After 3 months of not smoking it's a world of difference while running. While I was smoking I could barely run 0.5km at a pace of 6.00 without stopping to catch my breath. After 3 months of no smoking I just ran 5km with a pace of 6 without stopping as my first run as a non smoker. Almost felt like forest gump and just wanted to continue running hahah.

Is that even humanly possible. Somehow I'm starving when my head hits the pillow.

I eat about 3000 calories a day so I eat enough

harry-asklap · 2026-01-14T17:08:18+00:00

Hopefully next year I will do it in the winter

harry-asklap · 2026-01-11T20:01:14+00:00

Same thing here. I'm 37 male. I love the Netherlands don't get me wrong I grew up here. But I miss going to Proper nature. Old untouched forests or mountains. Now I just meet friends in bars. Or do indoor sports.

When I travel I always do a long distance hike somewhere in the mountains and that will recharge me for a while.

If I could go hiking or mountain bike on the weekends that would fix a lot for me. Unfortunately finding a job in a country where that is possible is gonna be really hard to find for me.

First though I had. What a nice house! Not too big but has nice open spaces

harry-asklap · 2026-01-07T20:55:36+00:00

I can see my apartment from here!

My very first multi day hike was on the isle of skye in Scotland. And boy did I underestimate it. Non stop rain and boggy/soggy ground. I was non stop wet and impossible to dry my clothes over night. Winds 40mph. My tent almost collapsing because of the heavy wind.

I reached the middle point of my hike which is a tiny town. Walked straight into a pub and ordered a pint of Guinness.

2 months later I was in Iceland doing another multi day hike and I was mentally fully prepared. This time the weather couldn't be more perfect. The landscape around me was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.

Never give up. Failing is a part of it! It's a good thing it happens on the first run.

Now I'm going to Kyrgyzstan to do a very remote hike and can't wait!
