Watch,, it!! Health, exercise etc.

[Behr]

Just to be clear, they all alert you to your phone calls and texts, but the Venu 3 is the only one with speaker and microphone so you can actually answer a call and use the watch to talk. I don't care anything at all about that. And on the Venu 3 you can respond to texts because it has a keyboard. The other 2 you have a list of responses to choose from. And you can create your own, which is all I need.

@Behr really answered e’rything. Not sure what she’s looking for in the watch to give any better insight

I just jumped in there because I was here goofing off anyway and all this stuff is still fresh on my mind. I just listed my 965 on Swappa last night and had several contact me already, but they all offered Less and I'm firm or I'll keep it. Lol.

That's actually a tough question. Lol. I don't know if she is aware of all the goodies that are available or not. She does like all the heart, health, sleep, and workout stuff.

HBPW is a bit more tech savvy than her husband.

Behr has done way more research than me about all the bells and whistles. For me, j want to know the time and all the fitness info. I love that my 965 breaks down walks, runs, hikes, road biking, mountain biking, etc separately. And the gps is really accurate for golf yardages. Getting texts and alerts from my phone to my watch is just a fun accessory.

Heck, I forgot to see if that Venue 3 has a time display. I'm assuming it does. Lol

I've been asking her question referencing the bells and whistles. She keeps asking me if I'm getting one for myself. Haha
Dang woman! I'm trying to Christmas shop hurr (in my mind).

Are those smart watches submersible? Water proof? Resistant? Rain ain't gonna bother it?

Oh we’re gonna wind up in the triggered thread. I swim, shower, whatever in my 965… that’s all I’m going to say

Wow! I think that's impressive. Not that you swim, lol, but that the watch will survive it.

Swimming is one of the things it measures. Triathletes wear the watch. I’ve never had an issue with that. But the 965 features are way fancier than say the 265, so it might not be as doable

 

[Behr]

My new one is Dive certified for up to 40 meters and I still take it off to shower. Lol.

The 265 is rated the same as the 965 so you can swim with it too.

What watch does she have now?

 

[malinoisvol]

What watch does she have now?

I don't know what that thing is. When she gets done doing her workout, I'll ask.

 

[Behr]

I watched several of this dudes videos on the watches I was looking at. He's pretty good and not boring.

Garmin Fenix 8 Pro hinted at by leaks – just days after the Fenix 8 launched

Well, that didn't take long

www.techradar.com

"A microLED model is perhaps easier to anticipate since it would presumably offer a higher level of brightness and a more power-efficient display. But considering the standard Fenix 8 already has multiple display options, would that be enough for a whole new smartwatch?"

 

[Behr]

@volfanbill @82_VOL_83 FYI

Check your Garmin! Latest software update brings new functions to much-loved smartwatch feature

Garmin Coach workouts are now available to cyclists, plus it has even more features for runners

Tried grounding? My Doctor had me do this awhile when I was recovering with LTC, I was doing alot of other stuff too, so no idea what role it played. Supposedly makes for better sleep and healing. I got tired of my wrist strap though.....but you can get mats but that doesn't sound comfy.

 

[Sgt_Nick_Fury]

Seems froofy to me to be honest, but my doctor is big on it.

Overall I'm sleeping much better, in fact I'm sleeping pretty good. Out of 10 4 were in the 80's with 85 being the highest.

But, what is grounding.

You literally plug yourself into a ground in your electric outlet. Supposedly same effect of walking barefoot outside. I got the wrist strap but they also sell mats you put on your bed. Watch the video above. I haven't made up my mind yet one whether it's legit or hippie science.

 

[Behr]

Thanks, I watched about 2 minutes and I'm not interested in it.

I'm doing fine, I only posted about my score because I only had one more to get my badge and missed it by 1 point.

 

[Sgt_Nick_Fury]

Also per the watch discussion..... previous..I have just about settled on my low tech Orange and Black scheme....

Settled on Seiko 5 SRPH33, has a nice true orange lume. Pairing with the black tread LT for band....but my treads both came from China...given strike I may see them in 6 months.... or after ww3
