I say Guangzhou, it was some Chinese shopping mall's bakery department where he'd mowed some woman and her kids down on his racer.
cant find the thread

Hmmmm...
If you gents don't mind my inquiry.
Is this all a competition? Like most threads develop to be.....
Just asking innocently.
I dont think I will post up my last week. Had the week off and got into more exercise and much more eating. For the first time since I was a kid I can eat as much as I want. Trying to eat as healthy as I can as well.
Fooking hell you lightweights I've been lumping 90kg of lean mean fighting machine on a half marathon 5 times week for the last year.
Starting to suffer now, need a month on my back in Thailand soaking up the rays.
^ hmmm. No GPS, The display is shit in direct sunlight and you still need your fukkin phone to start activities and work it?
Why not just measure the distance or count your steps
the first time you walk round the park so you know how many steps are in every lap, instead of walking around squinting in the shade wearing that gay looking Chinese piece of shit with silicone strap and wonky heart rate monitor. .
With no GPS or altimeter and wore on your wrist, how accurate can it be at telling how many steps you are taking or knowing how long your stride is ?
Xiaomi Mi Band 3: Fitness tracking
So let’s get into those tracking basics. Like previous Mi Bands, you’re going to get something that tracks your steps, distance covered over the day and an estimated calorie burn reading, and all of that data can be viewed in real-time on the Mi Band 3’s screen.
Making that tracking happen is a pretty standard setup of accelerometer motion sensors measuring your movement and Xiaomi’s algorithms interpreting that movement into your step counts for the day. Up against a Garmin fitness tracker, it managed on average to record around 500 steps less, but some days it would be as much as 8,000. That's quite a lot and seems more noticeable once you rack up more than 5,000-6,000 steps. There’s no altimeter here, so you’re not getting any data in the way of elevation or steps climbed, which is a really useful piece of data and would've been nice to have at the expense of some of the other features Xiaomi has decided to include this time around.
Cash on delivery. Can still cancel it or refuse to answer the door.
Theres a newer Honor 4 out on Lazada, same kinda thing but tracks more sports and has a colour display that doesn't scratch like the Mi3.
Look how dim the display is on mi3
Will look at that, cheers.
I wouldn't care about the display, I'd only be looking at the graph info/data etc etc on the app on my phone or PC at the end of each day or whenever.
Now if I bought a tracker on my own I would have gone with one of the above. But my wife got it for me. She has been with AIA for over 30 years now and sells a policy out of the UK called Vitality. If you can show you are doing 10,000 steps a day or more and track yourself you qualify for discount life and health policies.
I am now getting about 12% off my premiums for going 3+ months now with figures better than that. I just send her screen shots and she handles the rest. But you must use FITBIT which I think is expensive.
This is the model she got for me. https://www.fitbit.com/altahr
The GPS on me phone worked yesterday with the Data package running.
Did it today without any internet/data connection and worked fine.
Probably has a ghost or something in it.
Ya a big reason I went with the MI band is the aftermarket software that I linked it is not the shit software that most of these fitness trackers have. It has all kinds of custom settings. That software is not available with the honor band you are stuck using Huawei's shit app.
Good stuff.
Put that in yer Plaster Cast and smoke it Dill.

^ you realise you've just subjected us to a worldful of activity screenshots
But have you got lighty up shoes?
Sometime back I looked at 5 or so of these wrist style monitors and thought why buy one if you carry your smart phone? Being I always have my phone with me on bike rides, walking, hiking etc the Apps available are more than suitable and free. Now in fairness I am not going on this big health data tracking program either. Just basic steps and bicycling distance.
My current daily cycling avg is 8.2kms M -F and I always hit my 7500 steps goal.
Anyone who wants to get the benefits of cycling without being savaged by rabid mutts and Somjit's tractor should consider looking into this.
