      @jschmidt how does that impact battery ? With option to measure every 10minutes, would we have much better battery life?

        @Tomas5 Yes, I think so. You can see this with Coros watches. They have the option to measure every 10 (or 5 minutes with activated stress measuring) or constantly. Here the activation to constantly causes a falldown of the battery life from 40 to 37 hours in summary. Not that much but noticeable.

          So I let my skin to fully heal and was instead wearing the watch on my right hand, upside down. Today I have noticed that I have red skin, or a rash there also. This is a bit weird now, as I never had this issue in the past and started about the time (on my left arm) when I got the Race 2. I simply cannot wear it for a longer period of time. I am cleaning it after every activity. Can it be that the material from which the sensor is made is somehow different?

            I have been experimenting with wearing a different watch to see if it’s a common issue, but this rash is keep coming back after switching back to SR2. At this point I am starting to think it’s an allergic reaction to some material on the watch itself.
