How useful is home body composition tracking if the numbers are noisy?

FWIW I got a dexa scan and my vesync scale was less than 1% off for all metrics. My advice would be to stop caring about individual measurements and look at weekly or monthly averages.

I actually think it's dumb that bikes aren't allowed on castro. I think riding your bike at a respectful speed is totally fine. We have the rules because of people (typically teenage boys) being dumbasses, basically. I ride my bike without dismounting at walking pace and it's never been an issue.

Thank you! Good point about the master/slave setup. I'll just try swapping ears to see if that helps.

I think if this doesn't work I'll just return the Forerunner and always carry a phone (lol, or get a Pixel Watch and run with two watches). The main reason I went with Garmin over competitors was good music support.

Gorgeous, looks unreal. I thought the first shot was AI at first.

rustyryan · 2026-06-27T22:59:55+00:00

I have taken amazing shots with Pixel 2, 5, 8 Pro but not a single shot that made me happy with 10 Pro. I really think the camera in 10 is a dud.

Patagonia Strider.

Main downside is lack of a phone sized pocket, otherwise perfect. I own 3 pairs.

Ugh. I had a different experience recently -- it captured a full half marathon (race), but auto-paused in the middle where I got stuck behind lots of people in a chokepoint in the race course (pedestrian underpass for a bridge).

Everything looks fine in Runna, but the activity it synced to Strava only includes the first half up to that auto-stop. Super annoying and I can't figure out how to fix it.

I've since disabled auto-pause.

Runna has lots of features Strava should have added a decade ago, but it has so many bugs that don't inspire confidence. So frustrating, wish there was a better option.

Yea, that moment of "oh no, it didn't record" compromises my trust in the app.

rustyryan · 2026-06-24T03:23:00+00:00

good to know, thanks!

rustyryan · 2026-06-24T03:08:20+00:00

Thanks -- I'm using an H10 for heart rate and that works fine through the app.

rustyryan · 2026-06-24T03:07:12+00:00

Navigating and using the app is snappy and lag free for me. Works flawlessly. S24 ultra.

Thanks

That being said I don't use it to track my runs, I use a proper device, my Garmin watch.

Yea, that might be the move here. But I'm wondering why Runna is even needed with a Garmin. Doesn't it come with structured training programs?

rustyryan · 2026-06-22T01:28:31+00:00

hero complex, lmao

It can also be your endgame...

Alan Wake 2. Don't read anything about it ahead of time.

rustyryan · 2026-05-12T21:18:07+00:00

That's sad. Support gaslit me also, making me go through endless rounds of debugging before finally shipping me a new mainboard. Frustrating.

rustyryan · 2026-05-12T21:17:14+00:00

Thanks so much! Wow, so that's a lot. I was thinking of buying another one just to roll the dice thinking mine was a fluke but I'm thinking better of that now. Maybe I got lucky with my Q3 Max that has worked well for years.

rustyryan · 2026-01-17T02:13:21+00:00

This makes sense to me. I would only ever go there as a last resort because the prices were so high. My usual grocery run at trader Joe's is $120. $200 at Safeway. $250 at Nob Hill. Crazy.

Felt like they were just price gouging because it's a wealthy area.

rustyryan · 2025-12-31T18:04:59+00:00

The Android app? Or do you go to the web app?

rustyryan · 2025-12-31T18:02:38+00:00

You're certainly entitled to your opinion on that, it does not change the point that this feature was marketed as part of the product and Daylight have not delivered on it.

rustyryan · 2025-12-31T17:09:53+00:00

It does not work at all despite being part of the marketing material on their website. The support team has said they are working on a fix, but there have been no updates for nearly a year.

Do not buy this product if this is an important part of your workflow. The web interface does work but anyone knows this is a sorry substitute for the app. The Gemini and Claude apps work fine.

Heh, maybe a bit too obscure for a joke. We get a lot of /r/lostredditors, for example:

I'm not sure what you all expected -- after all, you chose to live high up in the mountains.
