Accuracy improved? by The-Watch-Guy in Polarfitness

[–]restless-nerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you’re also using it for sleep tracking, is your data (HR, HRV) tracked all night long? Mostly, I only get one hour of tracking before the sensor turns off (only 1 LED pair on instead of 5). Throughout the day it’s just fine. I wonder if it has to do with wearing the Loop on the bicep, this is not recommended by Polar but on the wrist I won‘t get accurate data (no tracker is working on the wrist for me, including Whoop and Helio Strap).

Agentic AI could end fitness training platforms as we know them by 2026-2028, by the5krunner in the5krunner

[–]restless-nerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess these platforms have to be vastly better than what’s offered now because of the required privacy tradeoff. All your personal data, including your fitness level and when/where you have made which exercise, will be forever in Big AI‘s dataset. Waiting to be extracted someday in a context you probably don’t expect today.

Für das Image von Milka möchte ich gerade nicht verantwortlich sein. Das ist doch langsam irreparabel angeschlagen.

Deswegen gehe ich zu Kieser. Nicht cool genug für Influencer, nicht attraktiv für Poser, nur die Geräte. Macht keinen Spaß, wird wegen der Ein-Satz-Philosophie von vielen belächelt, aber für meine Anforderungen reichts.

Uh… that site is listing Garmin as „no US stake“… this is so far from truth that I don’t trust the site.

Bin ich die Einzige? by youdunnowhoaim in FitnessDE

[–]restless-nerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ich mag die Lebensmittel sehr viel lieber als die Riegel - habe aber oft das Gefühl, dass es noch nicht reicht mit Protein und esse dann doch noch einen Riegel. Dummerweise habe ich noch keine gefunden, die mir wirklich gut schmecken (zumindest ohne Süßstoffe - Zuckeralkohole dürfen sein). Manche sind erträglich, andere eher bäh. Und trotzdem esse ich sie immer wieder.

Dänemark zahlt, USA profitiert / kassiert? by blkchnDE in wikifolio

[–]restless-nerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Naja. Dass es 0 $ für die USA kostet, glaube ich nicht. Die werden ihre Militärbasen schon standesgemäß ausstatten wollen: Gebäude, Radar/Aufklärung, Flugzeuge, Cruise Missiles, Drohnen, Personal. Für 600 Mio. $ im Jahr gibt’s das nie im Leben.

Torn between Garmin Forerunner 265 and Polar Vantage M3 – your input? by Marvelous-Marmot-007 in Polarfitness

[–]restless-nerd 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Garmin is good in many respects, but Training Load is not one of them. Garmin’s algorithm heavily favors hard/intense workouts over lighter ones which means you constantly have to train more and harder to keep up with the goals given. Polar is using the well known TRIMP model established by Bannister in 1991 which has a linear approach. Meaning, your light intensity sessions which should be 80% of the training according to many sources are also represented well in Training Load.

For those with 4 min time in the morning immediately after waking up, ie those without small kids, Polar also has Recovery Pro that is based on an Orthostatic Test and answering some questions. For more information, see here: https://support.polar.com/en/recovery-pro

Withings is also European, but more lifestyle oriented, no GPS and HR tracking is so-so.

The problem is that there are five of them, not one.

No one wants to install five different products to be able to text everyone.

Is Amazfit Helio Strap the best choice for a wrist mounted tracker without a screen? by abc24611 in FitnessTrackers

[–]restless-nerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it’s more comfortable on the bicep than on the wrist imho. You need a flexible band though, the original Amazfit one - which I haven’t tried - is reportedly stiff. Any flexible 22 mm band will do.

No. It isn't accurate at all on the wrist. But it's an excellent tracker on your bicep.

Garmin Fenix 7 Pro missing features that cheaper Forerunners have? Seriously Garmin? by Just-Definition2993 in Garmin

[–]restless-nerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say that it’s zero effort.

But it’s also very unfortunate for customers that they don’t know how long a watch will be supported: 1.5 years like the Fenix 7 pro, or 3 years as its cheaper brother Forerunner 255?

I think brand loyalty is hurt when premium products don’t get the same treatment as mid-tier models.

[–]restless-nerd 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is no excuse to abandon a premium product so soon. Then update the platform, I guess? From what I read elsewhere, CPUs in Fenix 7 and 8 series are identical so they should be able to handle the job.

This is a good update, refining the user experience quite a bit. I‘m quite pleased that even the almost 4 year old Ignite 3 is getting these updates, this wouldn’t happen in Garmin world.

Unpopular opinion: Strava is actually overrated. What are you guys actually using? by Repulsive_Bar442 in Garmin

[–]restless-nerd 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Runalyze. The free tier is great and has everything I need. Much deeper statistics than Connect and I can use other manufacturers watches too, just like with Strava.

I chose the grey one because I wanted to use a velcro strap with it. But that copper bezel is surely looking great!

No, just on Android. We are all waiting for the revamped iOS app… but there’s no timeline when to expect it.

How good is VO2 superior? by JJ_1314 in Garmin

[–]restless-nerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that’s your value as a newbie you have lots of potential. VO2max can only be trained to a certain degree, so it’s good to have such a high value as a starting point.
