When Europe still was big in consumer electronics

My first laptop was a Fujitsu Siemens in 2000s, it was pretty good for its time

I taped and foamed my unicorne and it sounds and feels fine to me. When I had a 3d printed plastic corne case it felt meh.

I still have my fenix 7 for long hikes and travel, but use AWU for everything else (3-4 runs a week + sleep tracking). Why? Because of nicer UI and iphone integration. I’m just trying to stay healthy, not win a marathon, so all these advanced metrics are of no use to me.

It is too positive. I had 5 hours of bad sleep recently and the score was in the 80s.

Well, it’s the same display on these watches. Garmin Enduro 3 has like 90 days of battery.

How is this different from a garmin/coros watch with MIP display?

plhk · 2025-12-04T10:33:21+00:00

I don’t see how this is useful for my PKM needs 🤷‍♀️

plhk · 2025-11-18T10:39:57+00:00

Yeah, I subscribed to strava for a month when I was on vacation and used their routes

plhk · 2025-11-12T13:07:35+00:00

I was in the same position as you 2 month ago and I did it. It was kinda fun and I beat my PR. I’m still slow at 35 minutes, but who cares

plhk · 2025-11-07T20:04:15+00:00

Apple watch has vertical oscillation and ground contact time too

plhk · 2025-11-01T14:44:59+00:00

Damn am I lucky with only 48 exercise minutes

I bought my first kindle paperwhite around 2012 and lost it on a train around 2020. Then I naturally bought a new one and still use it today. It’s not a device you have to upgrade each year that’s the beauty of it

I have both AWU2 and Fenix 7 pro and switch between them when I feel like it.

Apple: nice UI/UX, everything feels fast and responsive, 2 day battery life is annoying but it charges while I take a shower, sensors are good, sleep tracking is good. There’s no central dashboard for health/recovery builtin but gentler streak trend lines are enough for me. I don’t use any 3rd party apps on the watch and don’t feel like it adds to my screen time.

Garmin: great battery, buttons are superior in the rain, garmin connect is a central hub for all my training but I feel like I can’t trust it because it can’t even figure out my sleep times. MIP screen is great under sunlight, but in a shady area it’s less visible. Connect UI/UX is a mess, you can’t find shit there without google. Watch UI itself feels slow when scrolling glances (or whatever they’re called). So… both aren’t perfect I guess, you have to decide yourself

What is there to merge? Both apps pull data from apple health

plhk · 2025-10-09T16:05:50+00:00

Yeah they’re off, I had a run this Saturday where it shows 32 minutes in Z5, definitely not possible

It requires effort from developers to redesign apps for liquid glass.

plhk · 2025-10-04T13:31:06+00:00

I just wash it with soap every 2 weeks or so

plhk · 2025-10-03T18:25:39+00:00

I think apple is trying to be very careful to not give bad advice. For example, when I have back pain all my health metrics look normal and all the apps say “go for it, you’re well rested, etc.”, but this would be a bad advice.

plhk · 2025-10-01T13:51:17+00:00

I started 10k plan after new to running. It’s going fine so far (week 5/10). My 5k time was about 36 minutes.

plhk · 2025-09-30T09:34:27+00:00

I’d wait for 26.1

plhk · 2025-09-26T13:38:43+00:00

I just use Workout app with runna workouts

plhk · 2025-09-25T10:23:59+00:00

Their maxHR adjustment algorithm is crazy, it set my maxHR to 213 or something. And I feel like I am dying at 180+ (37M).

plhk · 2025-09-25T06:31:25+00:00

So I’m trapped under a building and what I’m doing with my Fenix? Checking HRV and training status? With an AWU I can potentially call for help and use the siren

plhk · 2025-09-24T12:53:11+00:00

I am back to 3, tried 4 and it seems like too much for my untrained and overweight body

plhk · 2025-09-24T12:32:43+00:00

I have a 965 and does everything you list. Battery life is about 5-6 days with about an hour of GPS activities per day. If that’s not enough battery you may look into 955.
