That's OK when you're sitting down or lying in bed. Not much good when you're out running.Quote:

And that coonta who opened the fuckin door whilst I was uploading pics of a friend who had a Tom-esque shirt on.....needs one of those fitbits ramming up him.

Is this still bad if I'm resting and drinking beer?

Can't be very reliable being on a phone anyway eh?
^^ And let's not mention me Chinese knock-off Fino.

Cunting thing
To be honest, and with all due respect to the people who love these gimmicks, I have never ever purchased a pair of running shoes that I accept helps my performance let alone all the monitoring equipment and other gadgets on offer.
I ran barefoot for years on most surfaces and stopped at a garden tap for a drink of water when necessary.
A clock on the wall that tells you when you left for a run and when you returned is all that is needed.
When you feel fooked.........Stop for a rest and stretching............Once recovered continue until you cark it or get home!
Now off for a bare foot sprint to the fridge. :)
^ we can have a heart rate compo on this phone next time you're down the boozer, Zola:)
That's great, cheers.Quote:

Got my miband a couple of days ago and have been going about life as normal since then. This morning it logged that I'd done a 22 minute workout and I was confused as I hadn't. Turns out it had logged my masturbating as a workout! Even though the band was not on the hand I was using. Rather impressive I thought! Also in case anyone was wondering, it burned 69 cal apparently, and even more hilariously it thinks I moved 829m during the session! Heres the screenshot[at]
Just hitting 3,369 Kilometers for the day.
If they made them kinetic, you'd never need a battery and could probably power a small Continent:)

Timeout.
All these lovely advisory fitness, nutrition, and food threads are making me weary and dizzy.
Need a smoke and a couple decent belts of the good stuff.

THE BAD
- Heart rate and step measurements are not always precise

Heart Rate, Steps and Sleep
With the watch's GPS, pedometer and heart rate monitor paired with the Mi Fit app, you can track your activities and set progress goals. The watch records your pace with or without GPS.
The Bip's GPS — which can be used to track your distance when walking, running and cycling — proved accurate. The watch automatically picked up a location GPS signal (or advised me to go outdoors or step to a different location to catch the signal) and then recorded my route as I walked or ran.
You can set the device to take continuous heart rate readings (at some cost to the battery life, which is hard to quantify) or have the heart rate monitor run periodically while you're sleeping. How accurate is the heart rate monitor? Let's just say I would not substitute it for an EKG, but after my bout of running, jumping jacks, stair climbing and working around the house, the Bip proved reasonably accurate.
A comparison with the Garmin Forerunner 25 and its companion strap-on heart rate monitor confirms the Bip's slightly fast or slow — but mostly accurate — performance. With both the Forerunner and the Bip strapped to my wrists at the same time, the metrics of my runs were similar — within a margin of 2 or 3 points.
The Bip tended to hit the maximum heart rate faster than the Forerunner, but within the minute, the Garmin also beeped warnings. Often, the Bip took more time to drop its heart rate readings as I slowed my pace, but by the time I paused to make notes, the readings on both watches were largely identical, or so close as to be statistically insignificant. When we compared the Bip with the Garmin Forerunner, we found that both recorded the same number of steps in a day.
I used GPS essentials for all my hikes over the years. Doesn't work so great here with Google maps though..
^^ if you spent as much time moving as you do researching what people should have bought, you wouldn't be the horrendous looking hippo that you are today. :)
I nearly pressed the button and bought it too:)
I'd get more use out of the sous vide:)
I decided I didn't want a fitness tracker but rather a Heart Rate Monitor type device. I ended up buying a Garmin Forerunner 235. Now all I have to do it work out how to use it - or rather, set it up and use it to my requirements.
Loads of bad reviews about te HRM on those:)Quote:

The heart rate doesn't go up when doing the interval and doesn't go down after the interval. So basically it's stuck at 150 bpm during the whole cycle.[at]
For some people it does seem to work accurately, I believe it has to do with the physiology of your veins in your wrist. Anyway I would not buy the product unless you can test it beforehand because you don't want to spend over 250 bucks on trash.
I tested it yesterday. So far so good, but I only used a basic function. One negative so far is that it has an irritating issue with the screen that I have yet to find out how to change - but I've got an idea I will try later today.
Dodgy Dilly Doom n Gloom first on the scene.
Foker can't put on a watch without breaking his wrist. :)Quote:
