DCR Hands on [Apple Watch Ultra Hands-On: 14 New Features Detailed!] Of note: They say the battery will outlast an Ironman Triathlon.

Posted something similar earlier in this thread Mark Lewis (I know he’s only a You Tuber) has gone from a Fenix 7 and seems to be sold on keeping Ultra, but does make some comments about the battery life, not that it won’t do his events (ultra marathons), but rather that you need to make sure that …

Can you broadcast heart rate from an apple watch? I used to broadcast from my Fenix 6/7 and works fine.

I’m loving my Ultra. Have had it for a few weeks and its rock solid, good HR measures, comfortable to wear, and the new running metrics are very useful. There is a bit of fiddling to get things set up in the new running system which is mildly annoying at first. But I have configured it so one but…

The WorkOutDoors app is actually very nice and has tons of customization and works with power meters. Still lacks a little bit for specific workouts as right now really only Wahoo and Garmin have the ability to have workouts from TR pushed to them, I don’t see that changing. The one thing I noticed…

Apple doesn’t support that natively. I’ve seen solutions like NPE’s Heartbeatz ( Heartbeatz ) I’ve an Apple Watch Ultra now and have been using it for a few weeks. When I ride, I use my Karoo 2 or Roam along with a chest strap. On the trainer, I use a Kickr with a chest strap. Don’t really use it…

[image] Benjamin_Reynolds: The one thing I noticed with WorkOutDoors is that it seems to drain my battery significantly faster than the native workout application. yep, same observation here. Short 15min commute will drain the battery by 10% (with the watch paired to my power meter). I was ho…

Apple has now announced the release of WatchOS 9.1, available Monday, October 24. It includes the improved battery mode for running, walking, and hiking. Will be very interesting to see how much the battery life is improved and what it means to HR and GPS accuracy. Unfortunately it seems to be avail…

Does anyone know how to fix the following issue with the Action Button, where instead of starting the selected workout, it is “marking a segment”? Up until yesterday / this morning, once I’d selected a workout, when I hit the Action Button the workout would start (I have precision start enabled). B…

I see some criticisms here I don’t understand. First, it has three days of battery life which should be enough for virtually any event. Second, it is not limited to built-in cycling features. It can run the Cyclemeter app which is extraordinarily good. I think it can even fully record a ride, inclu…

[image] JWCombs1965: three days of battery life which should be enough for virtually any event. Three days is in standby mode for the majority of it. Realistically, you’re looking at about 17hrs of time right now in GPS+HR mode with proper GPS/HR recording. If you step down into the newer ba…

Orange alpine loop. A bit over engineered for daily use but it’s very adjustable and never going to fall off. I will probably get an ocean loop as it’s easier to dry after a workout.
