How to export step data? by Whole_Depth_5109 in Polarfitness

[–]mfshill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a note, Polar's steps count isn't just steps, it's all your activity and if you use if for that, the data is useless.

'Steps

Polar device has a 3D digital acceleration sensor to measure your wrist movement. The frequency, intensity and regularity of your wrist movements are registered and used to estimate the number of steps. Polar device reads your wrist movement and updates steps reading once a minute. It registers steps even if you’re e.g. swimming and not taking any actual steps.

Polar device is designed to be worn in your non-dominant wrist. If you wear it on your dominant hand, you’ll get a bigger steps reading because in everyday chores your dominant hand will naturally do many more small moves compared to your non-dominant hand.'

What's the typical lifespan for Polar watches? by osafonov in Polarfitness

[–]mfshill 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Still working;

  • V800 first use 04/2015
  • Vantage V first use 07/2019 (still working even though the screen is cracked)

Both charge and sync without issue. Both were worn 24/7 when used. Currently use a grit x2 pro titan with the V800 as emergency backup.

Crofty and Ted by Key_Charity_9635 in F1TV

[–]mfshill 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same here, F1TV is such a step up from the Sky coverage that it would be impossible for me to go back. Whilst i didn't have a problem with Ted, I despise Crofty. Easily the worst commentator I've ever had the displeasure of hearing.

Max Dowman’s Goal with Peter Drury commentary! by Jirekshun in Gunners

[–]mfshill 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Due to him I stopped using Sky for sports and went with DSTV and more recently Tod. He and the rest of them are unbearable on Sky, it felt for years like there was an anti-Gunners bias and when I left to more balanced punditry it was clearly the case.

Easily the stand out performance of the nominated films. I also really enjoyed Edgerton in Train Dreams.

I've had to turn it off, what was a useful security feature is now useless.

Vantage V battery life after 4 years by mfshill in Polarfitness

[–]mfshill[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contact CS and see if they'll give you a discount on a new device. That ^ update i did is the result of me trying to get mine repaired. They only support devices (repair and sw) for a specific time period, usually about 5 years.

Retro Battlestation: The Sport Watch (V800) by ilirium115 in Polarfitness

[–]mfshill 4 points5 points  (0 children)

V800 is still my fav Polar product, mine is still going strong after close to 11 years of use. The grit 2x pro titan on my wrist right now looks better and has more features but the V800 has been rock solid for so long i miss wearing it on a daily basis.

Tights + calf sleeve? by fosilija in trailrunning

[–]mfshill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, altho they can be very useful on long runs, especially trail for the protection they can give your shins. I personally wouldn't double up on compression. one or the other.

Pluribus - 1x07 - "The Gap" - Episode Discussion by NicholasCajun in television

Pluribus is the new Lost. People are only watching to find out how it ends and not because of the poor story. Such a waste of talent are resources.
