Attention all Samsung Watch Owners I came across this super-interesting 3rd party app last week which enables STRYD and other sports sensors to be supported on Samsung Tizen. So that means you could get STRYD to work on a Gear S2/S3/Sport, Galaxy Watch as well as Gear Fit2/Fit2 Pro. Here are a few screenshots and…
Perhaps once a week, I use Fit File Repair Tool, to fix or convert a workout or fix a route file. Perhaps STRAVA won’t accept a certain GPX file or perhaps I want to convert a TCX file to a FIT file for some bizarre reason. Rarely I may also have a file corruption problem…
Super accurate optical heart rate monitor. But is it the best arm-worn solution for heart rate monitoring?
I have to say I am getting VERY VERY bored while trying to pick fault with the accuracy of the WAHOO TICKR FIT optical armband A few weeks ago my opinion was that the Polar OH1 probably very, very slightly edged it in terms of accuracy over the Scosche Rhythm+. But now I can’t find…
I’ve used the Wahoo TICKR-FIT optical HRM STRAP a few times but mostly for aerobic runs and really had nothing of any interest to report in terms of accuracy. All looks good so far. But today I decided to invent a test as I needed a more challenging run in any case. And this seemed…
Wahoo’s TICKR Fit optical HRM has just hit the shops. It’s an exciting sign that Wahoo are continuing to introduce new, and usually innovative, products. Whilst the TICKR Fit is nothing too amazing to shout about, I do have a personal rather strange interest in heart rate monitors so I will, no doubt, have a…
Here we are SPECIFICALLY looking at INADVERTENTLY discarded workout files. Then how to make them visible and then how to repair them, if possible. The same softwares can also repair files corrupted for other reasons and/or fix minor errors in the files caused by incorrect manufacturer programming. The Garmin Edge 820 has a…
Either Samsung treated me to an all-expenses paid trip to Korea or this is just a re-hash of a recent, but interesting, press release. You decide. —–Press Release Follows :- ) ——————————————————- Samsung Electronics’ new GPS sports band, the Gear Fit2, is small but full of cutting-edge technologies. Six of the engineers who were deeply…
Here is a quick head-to-head of the old and the new Gear Fit. Gear Fit2 is the sexy one on the right! Actually I always liked the first one too. Here is a closer first look at some of the Gear Fit2’s specs (link).
Virtually everyone I know has had an occasional problem with a ‘broken’ fit file or some extra requirement such as the need to split/combine FIT files or even to exclude ‘obviously’ incorrect data. Relatively recent needs are for us to move all our historic data from one platform to another when we switch from one…
This interesting little package arrived in the post today from DNAFit. Despite my love of gadgets I also love gaining insights into what makes me tick. The cynics amongst you will, no doubt, direct me to the nearest psychiatrist. However I’d much rather stick a swab in my mouth and wiggle it around for a…
I confess to not OWNING an activity tracker myself. I get some sent on loan from vendors that I return. I don’t really need/want one and my gadget cupboard is full. I do have quite a few sports watches and some of them have activity tracking functionality in them (which I don’t use). I confess to…
