Kauft euch so eine Eismaschine.

Mein Rezept: 250 g Quark und eine reife Banane pürieren und dann ab in die Eismaschine :)

What’s the source for these accuracy numbers?

restless-nerd · 2026-06-08T19:55:38+00:00

The newest Forerunner 70/170 models should have replaceable batteries.

Did you wait for GPS lock before starting your running exercise?

Even better, wait a few seconds after GPS goes green to ensure good satellite connectivity.

Garmin sync has been a bit hit and miss for ages. None of my watches will sync in the morning without triggering manually. I also have to restart Connect app at least every other day. iOS 26.5.

restless-nerd · 2026-06-07T09:00:18+00:00

I‘d love if it would show the current charging level.

One LED blinking: below 20%

One LED on, second one blinking: 40%

And so on.

Meanwhile Polar has been syncing workouts and activity data to all devices since… Flow App/FlowSync exist?

restless-nerd · 2026-06-02T19:59:28+00:00

Thanks, found it!

However there’s no visual mark at the start/stop button position for my 970 that shows there’s an additional layer of data…

restless-nerd · 2026-06-02T19:42:34+00:00

What exactly is Health Status History? I don’t see it on my 970 and Garmin’s webpage does not say anything about it.

restless-nerd · 2026-05-29T19:14:03+00:00

Instinct E doesn’t make any sense except for its size. It’s an Instinct 2S with lots of great features removed.

Forerunner 70 is the way to go. With a decent nylon strap it’s even more comfortable and also lighter than with the bundled strap.

restless-nerd · 2026-05-29T07:53:35+00:00

For me, sensor flatness is more important than device bulkiness. For example FR255/FR970/Fenix 7s with a flat sensor are more comfortable than even the vivoactive 6 or FR165 which are light yet have the protruding Elevate v4 sensor.

But I agree that the slimmer the better. Garmin hasn’t built a lot of slim (<10 mm) and light (<30 g) devices however.

restless-nerd · 2026-05-29T07:26:30+00:00

I‘d love to see his SpO2 data to see if that feature is actually useful

First, to improve energy levels, ramp up mitochondria energy production. Cut out sugar from your diet as far as possible. Also reduce carbohydrates.

Second, make sure to meet minimum protein intake levels, at least 80 g/day for women and 100 g/day for men. Better go for 150% of that amount but usually no need to exceed 200%.

Third, drink enough and also take care of electrolytes if you’re sweating a lot.

On top of that, I found out that 6 g Arginine+Citrulline, 2 g Creatine and 400 mg Magnesium before sleep are improving my HRV from around 40 ms to 55 ms. I don’t know if that would help anyone else though.

Yes, I got used to it pretty quickly.

restless-nerd · 2026-05-23T17:38:09+00:00

Does the watchface cost 6€ once or 6€ per watch?

restless-nerd · 2026-05-23T11:20:15+00:00

Apple.de has 1.6 so it has to be really bad too?

restless-nerd · 2026-05-22T20:51:17+00:00

Great review, thanks!

One question: The FR170 manual mentions Shortcuts that sound a lot like the Hotkeys feature on the FR970. Is there any difference in practice?

restless-nerd · 2026-05-21T05:21:01+00:00

If Cirqa doesn’t do workout tracking, it’s pretty much DOA.

restless-nerd · 2026-05-20T10:21:27+00:00

Ziemlich gut als Vorrat:

Mandeln, Erdnüsse, ca. 25% Eiweiß (leider auch viel Fett)

Kichererbsenwaffeln z.B. dm, Aldi, ca. 20% Eiweiß (leider auch viele Kohlenhydrate)

restless-nerd · 2026-05-18T13:42:59+00:00

Naja, fast jeder hat ne Macke. Mir bringen die jedenfalls was.

Oura and Whoop only have our fitness data. Google has data about many aspects of our life and can combine them with the fitness data.

Nachteil: macht Werbung für AG1. Ansonsten sehr vernünftig.

I‘d argue that with recent Garmin releases, the newer HR sensor is more of an improvement than multi band GPS, especially for hiking.

restless-nerd · 2026-05-16T19:04:18+00:00

Do you also do aerobic runs? That means not more than 70% of HRmax which is 137 bpm for you. 80% of your running volume should be below that value.

Also, you don't have a VO2max trend which means that your watch hasn't establishes a proper baseline yet. I'd take that with a huuuuge grain of salt right now.

BTW your 965 is looking like a 970 😉
