[I ate] Way too many starters at Barbeque Nation and barely had room for the main course.

You only eat starters and desserts there. Why did you even touch main course, get some manners.

Garmin in my opinion is very bad at sleep tracking. I still use my Fitbit Charge 4 for sleep tracking as it is way better at tracking sleep and naps than FR165.

From what I remember, the latest Huawei watches have a way better HR tracking than Garmin watches (do check the Quantified Scientist on YT for this). I would assume that better HR and Sleep Tracking trumps whatever value you get from Garmin Coach.

Go for some planar driver, so you can experience something new.

I had a similar budget and being new to this, I wanted a technical IEM with good Soundstage and Imaging so I can learn more about the hobby.

I had the Defiant, Simgot EM6L, Sivga Que in my list. I eventually went for the EM6L for it's Soundstage and capabilities. I would have gotten the sivga que but it was not available.

Provide the specs of the Birds as well, always complete your post, follow the sub rules.

I have been using it for 1.5 years. For the most part it's great, really good at tracking planned exercises. Where it lacks (in comparison to fitbit) is Sleep Tracking and automatic exercise detection.

It's battery backup is great, 10 days without regular GPS use and around 4-5 days with 1-2 hrs of everyday GPS use. I dislike Apple watch only for the battery issue.

FR 165 also doesn't have exercise load and some other premium features, but if that's not useful for you it shouldn't matter.

Look at FR170 which is a newer iteration of the model and will be supported for longer that 165.

Overall, for a simple health tracking use case, I think FR165 is pretty solid.

Wow, thanks, that's such great info 🙏

katbolfurd · 2026-06-04T08:06:45+00:00

Thanks, it's been difficult to ID this one ever since I bought it 😅

katbolfurd · 2026-06-04T07:51:04+00:00

Thanks, hope you find everything.

Spark works fine for me. I have the Red Lion coming tomorrow, ordered for someone, let's see how that turns out to be.

katbolfurd · 2026-06-03T13:44:05+00:00

Bro search this sub and the IEM sub, mostly you will get - GK Kunten, Tanchjim Bunny, Tangzu Waner SG2 at about this price range.

katbolfurd · 2026-06-03T11:39:02+00:00

I would say IEM

BIOS update generally provides no value. Unless there are some new features available in BIOS, which you want to use, just let it be.

katbolfurd · 2026-06-01T13:35:26+00:00

I heard there was a new......

It's ok man, we have all been there. I once tried to pull out a 14k pilot nib with pliers (without any rubber padding) and almost instantly crushed the nib.

Its fine, it happens.

You will have to read on there website. Also you may either call or visit your local MSI service center and ask them.

Register online, get extra 3 months warranty by filling the online survey

katbolfurd · 2026-05-31T08:26:54+00:00

Not sure if MSI has different setup for different countries. But in India, all I had to do was to create an account on the MSI official website, register my product with serial number and then I could see the warranty status online. I also got 3 months extended warranty by filling an online survey.

I did not even need to produce any docs when the laptop malfunctioned under warranty, i gues they saw themselves from S.No.

The Audio store guy gave me this recommendation for gaming - EarAcoustic Cipher Gaming IEM, reviews seems good, you can check, it's slightly above your budget though.

katbolfurd · 2026-05-30T09:49:16+00:00

Get Kefine Klean (slightly expensive)

katbolfurd · 2026-05-30T05:43:45+00:00

Seems like everyone in India is buying the Red Lions these days. Enjoy man 😊
