Garmin has just announced a new MARQ variant, this time it is the COMMANDER, which is a TACTICAL watch. These are the only ‘new’ or restricted features that I see it has Jumpmaster, Tactical & Expedition modes Orienteering (!?) Night Vision mode Lighter than the ATHLETE coming in at 87 g (94 g with silicone…
via @John This has been up on the net for quite a while but it looks like the Garmin HRM-PRO is real (it is). But I’d missed before where it said that ski power will be introduced as part of the new XC ski-related metrics. The ski season starts soon…hurry up with that belt Mr…

All the UK’s major triathlon and duathlon events for 2020 including BTF qualifiers and championships
Despite saying that I have a Shimano Dura-Ace R9100 setup on one of my bikes, it’s not wholly true as the Dura-Ace bits and pieces are mixed and matched between the latest Dura-Ace R9100 tech and other bits of slightly lower-specified Ultegra kit. Nevertheless, I love it all and I’m just about to whack another…
It had to happen. The UCI seem to have sanctioned a ZWIFT eSports World Championship for 2020. It’s a nice idea I suppose and we’ve talked about it here and many, many other places. One of the beauties of watching the TdF on TV is the banter and in-depth knowledge of the commentators, as the…

This Casio Pro Trek Smart Review looks at the WSD-F30 model released for 2019, with a great screen and lots of free WearOS apps it could do well
<= Return to the main Casio Pro Trek Smart Review WSD-F30 GPS Accuracy Summary: Easy conditions delivered VERY ACCURATE GPS results from the F30. However, it performed relatively poorly in more difficult conditions when GPS obstacles were introduced like trees, building and underpasses. I’m not sure how that will translate to your overall hiking usage.…
Just over a year ago, Norwest Equity Partners invested an undisclosed sum into Wahoo Fitness. Clearly, this was always going to be more about a significant business expansion rather than building a slightly better HRM. I’m pretty sure that’s right as Wahoo released the ‘slightly better HRM’ a few months before the investment (Tickr FIT)…
A report with Reuters suggests that Fitbit is up for sale. The company has hired an investment bank to explore options. One option is to sell out to Alphabet (Google). Fitbit has recently been making some good corporate partnerships to ship its devices and services but I suspect is finding selling its watches to the…
STRAVA Fitness – now on the app STRAVA very recently further rolled out their FITNESS feature on the app. It looks nicely implemented but, apart from one nuance, STRAVA Fitness looks to provide similar information to that found in many other platforms. Despite this lack of novelty…it’s a good thing. STRAVA is showing messages on…

It looks like a new feature has been planned at STRAVA for quite some time, it’s called TOP STOPS. STRAVA has got a lot of data about you. Just think, it’s more than the segments you ride and the flybys you had. It’s more than the gear you say you’ve used and the routes you’ve…
Coros Apex PRO – Review to follow Coros is at it again with ANOTHER device. They are churning out new models at almost the same rate as Garmin so let’s not forget that competition and innovation are always good things. The APEX that was released earlier this year by Coros was a nicely featured smart…
*A SIMPLE ENGLISH EXPLANATION*
Now, THIS NEWS is going to annoy some people BIG TIME. For the rest of us, indeed most of us, we won’t even notice the difference. Problem: STRAVA appears to have specific issues when you use their app to directly record your workouts AND specifically if you also have sensors attached. Well, actually it’s wider…
