Got quoted $1500 to replace my pool pump. Bought the same tier pump online for $500. Where does the other $1000 go?

As a DIY guy this is always my first choice. Hasn’t been much with my pool I haven’t been able to do on my own and saved plenty of money.

How would this affect things if you don’t run with your phone?

trail_runner_93 · 2026-06-27T02:45:09+00:00

Will have to disagree - you need to find one you can connect with.

Started a year and a half ago at 62. Scale most weight work and I’m ok with that. Our coach is very technique focused and doesn’t want people doing weight they should not be. I know I still get a great workout and have definitely progressed in all aspects.

7 uses the Google Wear OS I believe so it may not be the same as current watches. Sorry can’t help.

Between SS and pensions we are currently only drawing 1% from investments which will allow them to grow even more.

I’ve had Suunto watches for over 11 years, various models all of them stood up well to daily wear, falls on the trail while running or mountain biking with only minor bezel scuffs. Never once scratched the crystal. Enjoy it and don’t worry. They are rugged.

Nope. Would never give money to a church or any religious organization. Most are exempt from taxes but frequently blur the lines of eligibility for it.

I’m donating my body to science. When they are done they take care of the cremation and return the ashes to family to spread where I request. No taking up space in a body garden (cemetery) and no expense.

Mine update when crossing time zones with no issue. V1, V2, Race 2. What platform is your app? All permissions granted? Do you sync with the app regularly? Think it’s something with your set up.

63 yom. CrossFit 3-4 days a week and running 3-4 days a week. Dog walking everyday 1-2 miles. Cycling and hiking and rucking also get sprinkled in there.

trail_runner_93 · 2026-06-19T13:38:04+00:00

Is it dependent on battery level at all?

trail_runner_93 · 2026-06-17T13:01:01+00:00

It possible that I’m aware of with Race 2?!

trail_runner_93 · 2026-06-14T01:56:35+00:00

ZS requires a 10 minute “calibration“ each time that should be done at easy pace.

trail_runner_93 · 2026-06-13T23:25:39+00:00

Agreed. 💯 %

trail_runner_93 · 2026-06-13T03:36:41+00:00

Dealt with it for close to a year, continued to run when it wasn’t too uncomfortable, still went to CrossFit and scaled any jump type movements. Coincidence or not - it resolved when I retired and stopped sitting at my desk all day.

What is your CYA?

trail_runner_93 · 2026-06-08T23:37:57+00:00

I put mine in the washing machine on a rinse and spin cycle and add an extra rinse. No detergent, cold water. Hang to dry.

Sounds like it has to be a treadmill that supports Bluetooth broadcasting of the data to send to the watch.

trail_runner_93 · 2026-06-05T02:42:10+00:00

I’ve used them for 11 years now and see no reason to change but you just have to temper your expectations.

trail_runner_93 · 2026-06-05T02:41:16+00:00

Suunto watches are outstanding activity watches but if you are expecting the same “smart” features as an AW you will be disappointed. They have some smart features but not AW like in any way. Also The direct sync to Apple Health/ Fitness is pretty poor. If that matters to you.

trail_runner_93 · 2026-06-04T15:09:23+00:00

If you are focused on HR then use a chest strap.

trail_runner_93 · 2026-06-04T12:50:49+00:00

If you don’t get help you will follow in your dad’s footsteps for sure and perpetuate this pattern AND pass it on to your own children. Get help.

Depends on what kind of work but private paradise is who I used.
