Garmin watch

Similar experience, so i just use my garmin watch to pay. Similar compatibility as google pay, but since it runs entirely on the watch it does not check against play integrity.

I wear a Garmin watch every day. It's great. But... I don't love the high price and the fact that the battery isn't easily replaceable. (Feels like Garmin would rather you buy a new watch instead.) There's a huge lane for Pebble to be the torch bearer for the Right-to-Repair movement (especially given it's whole story arc so far.)

Yeah, I think that's part of the reason both the Apple Watch and Garmin's can thrive: because they have their own market. I recently renewed my Garmin watch and I did the same: disable all the phone related features. And one of the Reddit comments quoted in the article says the same: > Apple Watch is a Smartwatch with fitness features, Garmin is a Fitness watch (with admittedly lacking) smartwatch features. People still buy Garmin watches instead of Apple Watch because they don't want the "smart" stuff, they want the fitness stuff first. And yeah, the battery life is also a big factor!

We use a Garmin watch for location and comms with our kid. Works pretty well. I was using a Shanling M0 music player, and it's pretty nice, but I've become lazy and don't like the chore of loading music on it. I have not found a good solution yet for a music(& podcasts) only portable streaming player.

N == 1, but when I bought a Garmin watch and started doing 10 000 steps every day, all my lower limb joint problems disappeared in two months or so. Nowadays I don't even know which knee used to hurt worse (I am 45). Mind you, I wasn't completely sedentary before, but I guess that Garmin made me move about 40 per cent more.

40+ here: I need a goal, otherwise it will just fizzle out. So, last year, i signed up for a sprint triathlon (500m swim, 20km bike, 5km run). It gave me something to train towards and a date to focus on. Took me about 1:35 hours last year. This year, I finished the first one in 1:32h and I'm training with my garmin watch for the second one (hopefully cracking the 1:30h). It's daunting and fun, at least for me, and it gives me tons of rabbit holes to dive into - with equipment for biking, swimming, running as well as nutrition and, of course, gels and stuff. But it would not work if I couldn't see the progress, so i track everything via my garmin.

Take a look at Garmin watches. I replaced my fitbit with a Garmin as soon as I found out about the buyout and I couldn't be happier. It's much more capable than the Fitbit was and Garmin has an actual privacy policy instead of a ways in which we sell your data policy.

Hey, to chip in: try cardio, especially running. Men loose muscle mass with age, as you are already aware, resistance training is important, but cardio should be on top of your list. I was there with you in terms of brain fog, general mental slowdown, what is called cognitive decline, and mind you, I presume we are healthy, without cognitive degeneration or serius injuries or conditions. Running 3 times per week should get you on track in about a month. Try it and notice the difference. We are made for movement. If you're healthy and don't feel like running, in my case, i immediately know i should be doing the thing I don't feel like doing. Running. 1x interval training, 1x hill repeats, 1, long run in cardio zone 2. If you can, get s Garmin watch. Stats will help you maintain focus on the big picture. Streaks can help reframe for consistency. I started training when corona hit, this is the best I've felt ever. Slowly progressed to cycling on off days for better recovery. Bought smart watches for friends, now we keep each other in check, we sometimes even meet at the pool at 6 am for a quick swim session. I now do some kind of activity 6 times per week. If i ever stop working on software, I'll help others train and get better to feel good and feel healthy - that's how much it gave me and i absolutely love it. hint : optimize for training the next 20-30 years (I'm 39) which means injury prevention, recovery activities, everything else as nutrition and rest follows as you o…
