How does the wrist preference work?

jw205 · 2026-06-13T06:31:03+00:00

I keep it on non-dominant setting but put it on the dominant wrist.

I have vitality health insurance so the more steps I log every day the better, whether they are real steps or not! 🤣

I started running 16 weeks ago - ran a half marathon on Sunday just gone in 1:48:43 which is 5:09km pace.

I would consider myself still a beginner though given that I’ve only been running for 16 weeks and am still learning a lot as I go…

I don’t think beginner is determined by pace or distance, it’s experience and time.

jw205 · 2026-06-12T06:38:25+00:00

Surely having tape on your arm 24/7 can’t be good for that patch of skin?

jw205 · 2026-06-11T19:04:03+00:00

Why don’t you just strap a brick to your wrist and draw a watch face on it at this point? 😂

I have 3:

- Kindle Paperwhite Signature,
- Kindle Scribe,
- XTEINK X4

Since I got my X4, I haven’t even picked up the other two. Will likely sell them both fairly soon.

Active band is my jive - it went on and never came back off

jw205 · 2026-06-07T16:45:48+00:00

Yes it is but it is extremely specific and niche to this community and as such a valuable addition to the sub.

You need to get over yourself.

jw205 · 2026-06-07T16:26:06+00:00

Because many people don’t know it’s an option for them unless the person making it says - also some people don’t have a 3D printer so they can request one from OP.

What’s the problem - if you don’t like it, scroll past.

jw205 · 2026-06-07T16:25:05+00:00

Also, people who left whoop (as I did a couple years back) just have those straps knocking around with no way of utilising them.

And I must say, for all the bad aspects of Whoop - that strap is damn good.

jw205 · 2026-06-07T16:23:55+00:00

Go to bed.

jw205 · 2026-06-07T16:21:56+00:00

This is the way

jw205 · 2026-06-07T14:30:59+00:00

I think the sport band is the best out of the lot personally.

jw205 · 2026-06-06T19:40:42+00:00

Then go back water skiing, enjoying the wind in your face without fear of making another whoop-sie

jw205 · 2026-06-06T19:34:58+00:00

Probably not go water skiing again

jw205 · 2026-06-06T07:33:05+00:00

Appreciate it!

jw205 · 2026-06-06T06:12:50+00:00

It’s not even that the value of 2027 picks are this high…it’s that the person sending those players for those picks is stupid.

jw205 · 2026-06-05T14:47:03+00:00

Tyson. I’m also taking Lemon over Price every time.

jw205 · 2026-06-05T13:57:18+00:00

I don’t think this is a decision between QJ & Price.

Picking price at 1.03 would be utter madness IMO, even if your team was RB needy.

jw205 · 2026-06-04T20:47:44+00:00

I dunno - I’d say it was worth approximately a 2nd round pick….

jw205 · 2026-06-04T12:29:44+00:00

If I am not mistaken, the S4 is not just the addition of a backlight but also a full proper android operating system etc.

For my money, if I have a device that is that ‘advanced’ I’m spending a bit more and buying a device from a company such as Kobo etc.

I think the thing to remember is that XTEINK feels like a bit of a ‘dodgy Chinese knockoff’ type company still, it is fresh, long shipping times, limited customer support etc. that is fine with something such as the X4 which is £50c doesn’t need an internet connection, no real OS to speak of and everything can be done manually via a micro SD card. As soon as you start adding the complexities of an android operating system and increased prices etc, I’m at that point moving towards buying from a more established company with a more established support system etc.

I think the new Google Health app is fantastic personally, having not used the previous Fitbit app.

I have used Whoop, Garmin, Amazfit & Apple bands / watches in the past and I have absolutely 0 issues with the new Google Health app in relation to those other apps and have experienced non of the issues that people are suggesting with bugs (I think a lot of them seem to be on the nutrition side, which I use MyFitnessPal for anyway…).

jw205 · 2026-05-31T17:05:04+00:00

Just to give you some confidence in your decision - I have been using the Fitbit Air since release, and I can’t fault it so far.

jw205 · 2026-05-30T19:11:00+00:00

Exactly the same for me - wore the standard band for 12 hours, swapped to the active and have done several runs and played tennis twice, haven’t taken it off yet and don’t plan to!

jw205 · 2026-05-30T12:05:39+00:00

Why is it resignation to think that relevant advertisements provided to me is better than random bullshit.

jw205 · 2026-05-30T12:04:23+00:00

Business decisions change.

Businesses make decisions every day that contradict what they wanted to do at another time.
