That is where running with Power comes in. I gotta find time to post on that. It would not measure speed, but how hard you are working. 9:41 uphill is much different than 9:41 downhill, or 9:41 flat. But the power number would keep your effort the same. You can’t do that with speed alone.
If you have a few dimes to drop, I have a list of hardware for you to get.
Your numbers look great! Everything today looks like you nailed it. BG, cadence, the whole thing.
Great job, @Trying! With all the different apps, you’re able to run outdoors and keep track of your stats like a treadmill. I’ll be getting a new watch soon and I’m seriously leaning toward the Apple. Again, wonderful job!
Yes, I don’t have a treadmill, but I’m super impressed w/ what I can do w/ the Apple, esp its user friendliness. Maybe it isn’t as accurate or has all the great features of a Garmin, but it is very easy to use. And if you ever start Looping, you can even Bolus from it, of course, the main trigger for buying it!!!
Yes, I’m definitely interested!!! Thank you for all your suggestions!! I checked out the Stryd, it’s about $200 or so. Does it stay on your shoe pretty well through snow and rain??
The larger size, 44mm. Very comfortable, and pretty easy to see due to the great contrast. A little hard to see time (real time) because it is in a small font when not on the default time watchface. Default has a large font time, so very easy to see. Easy to see BGs. I added Loop and Dexcom each as a Complication to the Infograph Modular watchface.
The Loop app is very easy to see all text. But I do still stop to do anything within Loop app on watch.
No, I don’t think is does give any confirmation that the bolus worked. When I bolused yesterday, I was leery, too, until I heard the clicks on the pod, but it took maybe 5 seconds before I heard it. I guess the Jojo-beeps doesn’t work from the watch. I would really like the beep confirmations on the watch, too! I wonder if that can be implemented, @dm61??
Yes, I agree! I even stopped, and had to put my ear closer to the pod to confirm the click!
Sorry!!! I just did a test with a small bolus from the watch, and it DOES beep! Sorry for my previous statement. Probably yesterday I heard the beep but then I didn’t hear the click right away, so maybe that was why I was concerned. In any case, just now I heard the beep, and then immediately the click. So as long as you are attentive, the watch will give confirmation with Jojo-beeps!!! Please disregard my last tag to you, @dm61.
Bolus is very simple, and easy to see. I do check both Loop and Dex apps because sometimes the BGs are not insync. One may lag behind the other in getting updated from the phone.
I would still recommend the larger face even if you only use the bolus. The numbers are easy to see, but would be easier with the larger face while running.
And now this is awkward because I’ve been running with a cloth face mask and ninja stars…which, come to think of it, would make good alternative lancing devices.
…which is what? What does @Eric listen to when running?
And a diverse collection of well-known artists - Barry White, Marvin Gaye, Donna Summer, Prince on one side, all the way to AC/DC, U2, Joan Jett, Loverboy, The Faces, John Cougar, and Yes on the other side.
EDIT
A few I forgot. Paul McCartney and Wings, Abba, and ELO.
And some more recent stuff thrown in too.
EDIT 2
And also Jackson Browne, Bob Segar, Kool and the Gang, and back over on the soul side, Bill Withers.
It would probably be easier to just say what is NOT on my list.
