Mio Pod It looks like one of the first optical HR companies is back with a bang…I mean band. This is Mio global who made the MIO Link (Velo, Fuse) and similar HR straps. They used a Phillips sensor and were GOOD at the time and I think I still l have them in a…
You’ve got your STRAVA account and you’ve set up the HOME ZONE so no-one can find out where you live and steal your bike. Phew!! All’s good, right? Your data is private and safe?

Garmin Fenix 6 – First Runs, Impressions, etc The Garmin Fenix 6 is living up to expectations and a review is well on the way, although it might be in the offing for some time yet. If you were a Fenix 5 or Fenix 5 Plus owner then there’s nothing here to immediately surprise you…
The new Garmin Fenix 6 comes only 14 months after the significantly updated Fenix 5 PLUS range. The updates to the 5 PLUS were mostly software+hardware fixes and, this time round the updates we see in the Fenix 6 DO include some new smart & sport features but, most crucially, we are seeing the Fenix…
Huami Amazfit GTS Specifications & Overview – Apple Watch lookalike The new Amazfit GTS smartwatch is a fitness watch after the hearts of Apple Watch lovers. It really is not difficult to see where the design inspiration comes from. Having said that, Fitbit has produced a similar-looking Versa and, after all, Apple does not have…
Here we have the first leaked images of the Garmin Fenix 6X Pro which look very much like the Fenix5. They could be fake but this now corroborates with other information I have that a slew of Garmin products are queueing up for release to an, as yet, unsuspecting public. Source: Images click to…

The new section of road snakes its…
I’ve just been playing with the link between Ayvri and STRAVA. Ayvri is a little like Relive.cc which had it’s linked with STRAVA recently stopped. So; you link your Ayvri account to your STRAVA account and then get a 3D playback of your ride. Kinda like a helicopter view of your ride with the relative…

As promised last year, I’ve started to do some races with the Polar Vantage. This post covers some gadget-based results and anecdotes of recent RACE escapades. I “used” the Vantage V Titan for the River Arun 3.8k swim and also for the Dartmoor Classic 100 mile ride. Clearly, I didn’t look at the watch too…

I’m just about to head off for a race weekend so I’ve…
