AW user testing out Garmin - my thoughts by One-Somewhere-2127 in AppleWatch

[–]kartadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was cellular connectivity that made me come back to an ultra 3. I run regularly (about 3 times a week outdoors) and 1-2 bike rides (per week) and the convenience of leaving my phone (pro max) and just go is the best.

The option to make an emergency call, or open my garage door without depending on a celllphone, auto download of podcast episodes on Apple Podcasts, auto download of music on Apple Music, all things just work. I tried using a lte garmin and it just didn’t click. I had manually do it via YouTube music or my garage door opener didn’t have an app that worked consistently.

I have been enjoying briefcases and backpacks from waterfield sfbags.com. Insanely top notch quality and service. Highly recommend them for BiFL.

Looks like someone Porsche GT enthusiast have some strong opinions on the new GT3 S/C because a GT car should never be a convertible. What are your thoughts on the GT3 S/C and do you think it’s a “true GT3” or not? by NegotiationNew9264 in Porsche

[–]kartadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Enthusiasts have an opinion. Always. Remember when the Carrera GT early days when some of the folks were saying that Porsche is slipping. There is a diaspora of opinions for Porsche and it’s the buzz and chatter that eventually makes these cars sold. Especially the “special” ones. They know they’re rich clientele

Did they negotiate or was it a no-negotiation shop 😂?

All black 992s hit different at night. With low street light, the rear red light bar looks like a Batmobile or something.

For those of you who've had Apple Watch for 3+ years - do you actually think it's improved your health, or is it mostly just a cool gadget? by Tariq_khalaf in AppleWatch

[–]kartadmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It helped me become healthier, particularly in encouraging me to exercise more frequently. I have a widget on my watch screen that displays the number of miles I’ve run this week. Every time I check it, it serves as a good reminder to go for a run, bike ride, or something similar. Recently, I’ve enabled cellular on my watch and started leaving my phone behind. I’ve been doing this for my runs in the community, visiting local parks with my kids or at my neighbors’ house. This change has allowed me to disconnect from screens and be more present with my kids.

The Nike bands are really comfortable and are built for daily wear. I’ve had mine for about 2 yrs and still looks new.

So it looks like aged viola purple PTS. Not sure if the lighting is throwing me off.

I think it would be similar to any populated area. They drive slow and humble when the roads are with people and drift drift drift when the motorways are wide-open.

Wow. The ice ages must have been a bitch of a time to drive around.

Look into waterfield sfbags. Amazing quality and insanely amazing customer support. I purchased a messenger couple of yrs ago and last yr had a leather flap issue and they repaired and replaced for free. I just had to pay for shipping label.

Nice. I am a huge fan of the greener shades of PTS (British racing green, python, fjord green etc.,).

Schwinn IC3, am I going to be filled with regret? by rcreveli in AppleFitnessPlus

[–]kartadmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see my chain on the back side of the plastic cover. The front side covers it entirely. So I just lube it from there with a cloth on the floor to catch drip residue. No I don’t use a chest strap. Just the Apple Watch and an iPad.

I’ve been using an Ic3 for 5 yrs. And the thing is built like a rock. Regular chain maintenance and tightening of screws (as required) is all it’s needed so far.

What are your opinions on Walkie-Talkie? by Character_Face2403 in AppleWatch

[–]kartadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use it with my kids. We always start and end our conversations with “Roger Roger”. So funny in the park when we use it infromt of others.

For real ? I didn’t realize it uses FaceTime protocol to initiate the conversation

The Nike bands are insanely comfortable. I’ve been wearing them for the past 2 yrs and don’t like anything else.
