mountain unicycling must be crazy, I’m glad I survived few months in the flat with only one… keep going and if you feel like, drop some pics in our “a picture a day keeps the doctor away” section. I find it very inspiring 🙂
@surfboomerang yes they work in collaboration with the manufacturer. That does not mean that Sony cannot streamline the development internally, or reuse code, but the manufacturers of watches get a firmware that is specially tailored for their products, even feature wise.
@fluca I am happy with using a Sportswatch - mostly Suunto 5/9P for workouts and as daily timepiece (and additionally H10 for watch free workout tracking) + an Oura Ring for all those health stats, especially tracking recovery and how meditation and Tai Chi / Chi Kung Sessions influence those. Sportswatchwise I realised that I really don’t need much besides reliable HR and GPS tracking and It seems that I slowly start to „feel“ in which HR Zone I am without looking on the watch. But that’s my case 😀. I am no Ultra- or Marathonrunner and I can not say if Suunto does a good job supporting those (though I would say Suunto does). I doubt that Suunto will make money from customers considering a „healthband“ like a Fitbit or Mi Band anytime soon even if they would put more of those features in their watches.
Garmin Enduro is also a good option if you want a top end/high spec watch. My training partner uses one and rates it highly, before that he used Suunto and COROS
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos thanks, but you still have press three more buttons+scroll to reach the power saving slide button. I meant it would be good to have a power saving shortcut directly from the watch face. That can be really useful. Also when hiking, wearing gloves, etc…
