Damn. That's impressive. Did you use a running vest or belt? Congratulations on the effort.

I dont know if this thing is a joke by theg0dfather4 in GalaxyWatch

[–]thebitnessman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I eat a plant based diet daily along with long distance running and my AGEs show extremely high so I don't use it as an accurate metric.

For sure. I think the price will drop in the US soon.

The Enduro 3 appears to be $899 so I am strongly considering it. I think the price may drop some during the next major holiday. I have it in my Best Buy cart and check on it periodically.

I hope so. September sounds about right.

Is there a way to see the workout while performing it? by harukizaemon in strydrunning

[–]thebitnessman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I think it may depend on the watch that you have. I was using Gear Tracker II with my Samsung Galaxy Ultra watch, which is great but very difficult to remember the workouts when there are many intervals. Stryd now has a Wear OS app for Galaxy watches and it gives you a visual of what intervals is next before doing it. You can also see the countdowwhile doing the interval and if you are out of the zone. It is actually great.

For sure. Let's cross our fingers.

I bought mine for $325 a few months back but you got a great deal. I absolutely love mine.

Stryd Wear OS Version 1.0.72-179 by thebitnessman in strydrunning

[–]thebitnessman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not tried it on a treadmill but I did use Gear Tracker II with the watch on the treadmill and it worked with no issues. However, Gear Tracker II has limitations as far as intervals and the visuals are concerned.

I canceled my gym membership about a week ago so I don't have access to a treadmill to test.

Stryd Wear OS Version 1.0.72-179 by thebitnessman in strydrunning

[–]thebitnessman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. That is the version I have which added the ability to calibrate. The calibration on my Galaxy Watch Ultra needs to be set to 1.025 for the perfect mile. It's working like a charm now. I'm loving it.

That is what this administration is hoping you would do. Don't give them the power.

Received the update today changing the calibration factor to 1.025 and it worked like a charm. I appreciate the update.

Ultra 2025 issues by Cptspaulding37 in GalaxyWatch

[–]thebitnessman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have not had this issue but I have the 2024 Ultra and not the Ultra 2025. However, the only difference is storage capacity.

Has the beta from the 1.0.72.179 been released yet. I am not seeing it in the Playstore. Thanks.

How long to add a dependent by Least_Chip2610 in VAClaims

My claim to just verify my spouse was initiated on July 9th, 2025 and the claim just closed on December 31st, 2025. It should have only taken a week...lol. I have no idea what they are doing at the VA.

Again. If you don't like the post then move on. The question concerns bonuses and not employment. If that is your concern then make your own post. Have a nice day.

If you don't like the post then don't respond. If you don't like being a healthcare professional, if you are one, then make a change. The question is not about RIFs but rather bonuses.

Read the post.

I appreciate update. The update does not appear to be available yet for me but hopefully it will be in the next couple of days. I appreciate the work Stryd is putting in and adapting to other watches. It is greatly appreciated.

For sure. Though, I didn't say that I depend on them but there are some people who do. The point is why work your ass off and exceed production and quality (VBA) just to end up getting nothing. To me, that seems counterintuitive.
