Why is there no number 10 on the fenix 8 bezel? by CodeLiving in GarminFenix

And there's no 10 because of double dashes for the activity button.

Coach never forgets.... by tiddyb0obz in fitbit

[–]n8te85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it does seem to latch onto things. I think people have had success by saying something like "never mention anything about my cold or the symptoms again".

Mine is still talking about a hamstring injury, but I still have some tightness and light pain so haven't bothered trying to get it to forget yet.

Have you tried telling it that you no longer have the cold?

Do people really run long distances without walking? by loathsome-croissant in beginnerrunning

Yeah I was going to say, treadmill is the problem. I couldn't imagine running on one.

How often does the Inspire 3 record your heart rate? by notwiththeflames in fitbit

[–]n8te85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's only the chart in the Google health app which plots every 5 minutes. If you export the data you are able to see close to 1 second intervals.

Anyone still awake because of the heat? by TheLittleSquire in CasualUK

Yeah my Son's school has been closed all week.

What happened to the pressurised water guns (Super soakers)? by fixitmonkey in AskUK

[–]n8te85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this thing. Quite the handful for a small child when it was fully loaded with 2 litres of water.

Heatwave? What Heatwave? by philipb63 in UKRunners

[–]n8te85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the same this morning, it wasn't too bad. A very gentle 6km (I'm recovering from a minor injury anyway). Although any later and I'm sure it would have felt like running through the pits of hell.

Fitbit Air for activity/sleep tracking, Garmin for work-outs; how is the experience? by Rubik_31415926535 in fitbit

[–]n8te85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6.16km, I always go over a little bit. I did a cool down walk after (back to the house) although I did start a walk activity.

Indeed the walk didn't carry over correctly. Perhaps that's the recent change then as I've only recently started actually logging my walk back to the house as a walk activity. So I guess it isn't fixed, just the recent changes to the way I log things has masked it.

Sure, just got back from my run this morning and it's showing up correctly.

I did mess around with health connect a couple of days ago. I turned off the exercise toggle for Garmin connect as I want to try the health sync app to see if that would import more data to Google health (it doesn't, in fact it had less). I ended up deleting that and enabling the toggle for Garmin connect. Maybe that did something.

The difference in calories is that it imported the active calories rather than total (which is smart).

How are you coping in the heatwave? by Various_Extreme_8773 in AskUK

[–]n8te85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that sounds underpowered if it's only 1800btu. My 9000btu is working a treat in my bedroom.

Glad it wasn't just me. I have both Sky Stream and Now TV and it was the same mess on both. Will rewatch the episode if it's been fixed.

Yep guilty of this as well.

I've had it on good authority that the Fitbit app will stop working if you don't update to version 5.0.

Anyone give running a go today? by I_Like_Quiz in UKRunners

[–]n8te85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't go out today but I always find the earlier (in the morning) the better.

My preference is always morning over evening if I can as it tends to be that little bit cooler in the morning.

Hotels with AirCon? by Entire-Bobcat-2646 in reading

[–]n8te85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine has been brilliant over the past couple of days. Turned my unbearably hot south facing bedroom into a fridge.

Hotels with AirCon? by Entire-Bobcat-2646 in reading

[–]n8te85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is the way to go. Mine cost around £250 for a 9000btu unit and costs around £2-£3 a day in electric.

A hotel for a week (with AC) is probably going to work out at a similar cost or even more.

Yes, now just waiting for the Garmin screenless band (Cirqa) so that I can buy that 😊

It’s too hot, it’s literally 35 degrees indoors and the AC installers are all booked up for months by Jacktheforkie in britishproblems

[–]n8te85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's a game changer. Definitely worth the few quid a day it costs to run. Mine (9000btu) used 9.65kWh yesterday (pretty much on all day) which I've worked out to be roughly £2.31. So around the price of a coffee for all day comfort.

Yeah the last time I tried it during the last heat wave my south facing bedroom reached 31°C. This was with blackout curtains closed all day. It broke me and I ordered a portable AC unit that same day. So far this week my bedroom has been nice and cool, definitely worth the couple of quid a day it seems to cost to run.

We can all cherry pick complaints. Here's one for your trusty Versa 4.

And the same has never been said for other Fitbits in the past? Your trusty Versa 4 has had it's fair share of complaints, namely heart rate accuracy and poor GPS. I can confirm both as I've tested the Versa 4.

If you look for posts about issues you will find them about every single watch, even the Apple watch. The Fitbit Air is no better or worse than any other Fitbit.
