To be able to see it without my glasses is...well, huge. You just don't know. If I could have wished for only 1 change in my 955 it would be this.

Ive figured this aerobic shortage issue out and have made a major improvement. One vital instrument that helped was turning the audio prompt back on and setting it to 1 minute intervals. Eventually I'll be able to turn it back off, or just change the time, but for now it helps train me to keep my heartbeats in the range I need them to be during certain "workouts".

In the workout summary where the stats are, it told me I needed less recovery time during that particular workout. Lol.

Point is, I'm listening to my watch and getting healthier.

Yea, on my bike ride it really hit me how much easier it will be to see the new screen. I don’t think about it much running/walking because it’s easier to see. But when I’m going 20 mph or pushing up a hill, or whatever on my bike, I’m not coordinated enough to concentrate on the watch and not fall off lol.

My stomach is still in knots, but my readiness and and body battery have finally started to rise

Something weird has been going on the last 2 mornings and I haven't figured out what it is. I'm sure there's a good reason.

I write down my battery percentage before my workouts and then after to see how much the GPS uses during that time. Normally it's 4-5% during that 50-60 minutes. Yesterday was 12% and today was 11%. Nothing has changed.

the watch will still be worthless for Souce since he can’t track menstrual cycles with it.

Lulz.

Seriously though, does it not track that? I thought it did.

Also, I know we've talked about it before, but what setting do you use for GPS? Do you change it for different locations, have different settings for different activities etc?

I leave mine on "all+multi". One of the others would probably be probably be fine but this one is so accurate I'm afraid to try another. Lol.

You can follow it through the app according the reviewer you posted, but it’s not in the morning report which she would like.

I think last time we discussed gps settings you thought I was getting snarky but I keep it on all+multi. I think it prolly causes the battery to suffer, but it’s still an unbelievable battery life imo. My working theory having worked with satellites, the thought that’s it’s constantly looking for the best possible gps satellite to use offers the best chance for maximum accuracy

Yeah, I didn't read that part I guess.

I'm not complaining about the battery at all, just noticed an abnormal jump during gps use. Even with all the info I have on my watch face that uses battery it's still way better than the Samsung.

And I remember realizing I asked a stupid question about the gps, but don't remember thinking you were being snarky.

I remember you being a smart-ass (snarky) when talking about swimming with it because of what Samsung said about theirs. Which I saw a notice the other day where they are now saying because of different strengths of chemicals used in pools, they warn that "your Samsung watch could be damaged and not covered under warranty".

Anyway, as long as I'm good in the rain I'm good!

Yea I dunno what could’ve caused it. Maybe a glitch in the satellites causing a lot of changes? Were you in a location you don’t normally work out in?

I never thought any about pool chemicals. But I still think that the 900 series is specifically designed for triathletes, so I gotta think they take all that into consideration. Imo I think Samsung just wants to have lots of outs for warranty issues. But this is just me thinking

Yesterday I was. Hmm.

Not today.

Just thinking out loud, how often do you turn yours off then back on? I used to my Samsung every night when it was charging, just because. This one I don't have a schedule, just whenever I think about it. That's something I looked for recommendations for the Samsung and the Garmin and never found anything.

Seems a "reset" every 2-3 days wouldn't be a bad thing. 🤔 IDK.

lol I work with fancy electronics for a living in the Army and have been told for years and years about doing occasional resets, but I never do. I feel as incompetent as tfg admitting to that.

And for clarity, I’m referencing my real Army job, not this 3 year temporary recruiting gig.

I will say that my old 935 used to get occasional (not frequent by any means) snags in acquiring gps signals and I’d sometimes power it off and on again in hopes of resolving the issue.

I think I’ve only turned this one off and on once and it was only because I saw the power button and just wanted see what the turnaround time was to turn it off and on again. I don’t even think I’ve ever actually let the battery die all the way

I've never let mine run all the down either. I don't think I've let it get below 23%.

It boots up fast!
