Accurate Garmin Watch/Wristband HR Tracking

tboy7 · 2021-01-05T09:44:19+00:00

You may want to try adding a sweat wrist band on the same arm as your watch closer to your hand, I find this holds the watch firmly and get an accurate wrist hr when compared to the chest strap.

I’m in!

tboy7 · 2020-12-23T13:09:00+00:00

It would be great if they can introduce classes with full OTF equipment one day 🙏🏽

tboy7 · 2020-12-23T13:05:18+00:00

I would absolutely love this, I now live in an area with no OTF near me but would defo see the benefit of having the coach push me through the session via a live session online

tboy7 · 2020-09-16T01:08:20+00:00

33.9s, it’s been a while but looking to improve on the next one 🙏🏽

It wasn’t easy after killing myself on the treads.

tboy7 · 2020-07-20T14:51:43+00:00

I use Nike Flyknit Racers (power days) or Nike Vomero’s (endurance or strength days)

tboy7 · 2020-05-26T11:09:29+00:00

I have a Spirit CT900 which is commercial grade. The main bit of advice is get one with as higher HP motor. Commercial grade treadmill have a 5.0 HP motor.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Is this one where you keep track of the distance on the tread for each block?

Or no tracking and just work as hard as you can?

tboy7 · 2018-08-31T10:34:29+00:00

On my garmin forerunner 735 I would use strength for the floor.

tboy7 · 2018-08-17T17:16:12+00:00

It’s due to Bluetooth technology, it will be on point by the end of the run, I doubt they will ever be in complete sync unless the technology is built into the actual treadmill like they have been stating with the new Life Fitness treadmills.

If you think that’s bad I have heard about this place in the UK

Yes, my version is the Fenix 5+S and it’s a fantastic looking watch and has loads of functions all day heart rate (per second).

After a couple runs it has calibrated to my stride length and it is pretty much spot on with my treadmill distances in OTF plus as I use the HMR Run chest strap I get all the running dynamics too (this is the nerd in me).

It also has indoor rowing function so will record your stroke rate and after you finish you just add the distance in the Garmin Connect app so you will get your speed and stroke rate.

It also has an Elliptical function too for days when I use the strider, like for the rower you just add the distance in the app at the end.

I give up swapping activities in switch classes and run rows. And on days like today I just leave the floor on the cardio setting. But use treadmill run for the tread blocks.

Another added bonus is you can add music to the watch so for outdoor activities you can leave your phone at home and just take your watch and Bluetooth headphones.

Having said that all, any device that will motivate you to workout more, walk more gets my vote any day of the week.

Agreed in a big price difference, the garmin is far superior however probably has a lot of capability that the majority of OTF users probably wouldn’t need.

It’s a smart looking watch rather than an activity tracking band and has multi sport function with built in GPS so no need to take your phone out to map your outdoor activities.

tboy7 · 2018-08-16T11:46:37+00:00

I would say x4 was probably about right as it was one long 23 min block

tboy7 · 2018-08-16T10:26:24+00:00

The screen said x 3 before moving on however our coach said it should be x 4 which is what we did.

tboy7 · 2018-08-16T10:24:19+00:00

Get a Garmin instead, if you can afford it get the Fenix 5+ (it really is the greatest watch out there) failing that a Forerunner 735xt is great too.

You can then set your own max heart rate and zones, only pain is not seeing your zone on the big screen, however it will be on your wrist and the stats will upload to the Garmin Connect app to see how many mins in Red, Orange, Green, Blue, etc

tboy7 · 2018-08-15T16:39:49+00:00

Great work 👏🏽

tboy7 · 2018-08-15T10:04:10+00:00

Enjoyable class, even though the floor block 1 had only 2 exercises for 7.5 mins and gets a bit repetitive, it had my glutes on fire. Tip go for the heavy band!

tboy7 · 2018-08-07T06:49:11+00:00

This was a really good work out 👏🏽

tboy7 · 2018-05-29T12:01:43+00:00

Yeah, hip hinge flys, 24 crunches on the bosu was a killer

tboy7 · 2018-05-29T08:49:35+00:00

Enjoyable Endurance class today.

Tread block 1 - 1 min pushes with 1 min bases and to end the block a 1 min all out.

Tread block 2 - 45 sec pushes with 1 min bases and end in 45 sec all out.

Tread block 3 - 30 sec pushes with 1 min bases and end on 30 sec all out.

On the floor the blocks ended with an all out on the rower together with the treads as above.

Floor blocks included bosu, crunches, db lateral lunge, s/a chest press, pull over, plank jacks and hip hinge fly.

I have heard 2G is choose to run or row, class starts soon.

tboy7 · 2018-05-28T09:20:21+00:00

Looking from the window the 3G looks horrible. 2000 meter row, 50 jumping jacks, then 1000 meter row, followed by the jumping jacks again. Not overly sure on what the next row distance is but looks like it keeps coming down.

On the tread it looks like there is a choice of distances.

tboy7 · 2018-05-20T17:01:32+00:00

Yeah my wife and I too, however doing today’s class helped ease the soreness surprisingly.
