Thread: Best walking/running tracker App?

^^ And let's not mention me Chinese knock-off Fino.

Fuck

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.

I'd have thought sundials would have been more common.

How many workouts today Lu?

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.

You have killed your brain with cheap Thai whiskey. That was funny...

This one looks the best budget buy, has GPS and compared well against the Garmin Forerunner for accuracy.

THE BAD

• Heart rate and step measurements are not always precise

^ he contradicts that by going on to say.....

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..
