Posted by Furbz on Yesterday, 15:16 in Training, Health & Nutrition anyone put the apple watch on a avo yet? legit it reads a heart rate. - also tried it on a green apple and got a pulse. anyone able to explain this??

Will let you know....I have my old hand already....but let me come up with a few ideas.....

You seem a little tender....

Try the avocado test.......

My hand felt cold for a split second......

Vivek...just as a matter of interest.....I would be very keen to see how much warm up and cool down you allow per session......I would also love to have two different athletes in my lab.....a high revver and a low revver......it would be very interesting to see the distances achieved as well as the actual power output over let's say an hour period......this would be even better if we could take an old hand and a newer athlete to the sport and make those comparisons....I think you may have a high revving engine.....not everyone has a big revving engine like that.....read up on a condition called Bradycardia....some people perhaps many have a mild form of this....for them to reach the targets as laid out would be very difficult to achieve.....what Discovery really need to do to make it feasible for all is build a profile around each and every individual and set their targets and goals accordingly.....

Funny....patronising....sick....or still upset Myles ? Don't say.....I know......

Good luck with Apple....especially when they start referring to a "bug" as a feature..... http://www.technobuffalo.com/2015/05/31/apple-watch-heart-rate-monitoring-bug-is-a-feature-apple-says/ No news of a 'fix' or replacement...... http://www.i4u.com/2015/10/96023/apple-watch-users-experiencing-inaccurate-heart-rate-readings Most of the articles I find are from 2015 and there is a huge amount......general feel from what I see is that apple don't have a solution.......

There is a yellow jersey with your name on it........just kidding......well done.......

And guess what....he can do it again and again......

Mr. Furley was still so young.......

Hahaha.....fomo....it has us all by the short and curly's.......

But they aren't so we are back to the good old world of an opinion is an opinion is an opinion....the sky is blue.....not it's not.....the grass is green.....no it's not.......

Quoting this.....some may need to see this again......

He does not have to.........people are complaining and unless he works for Discovery then surely there is no need to defend them......everyone has been very appreciative of his input regarding certain questions....but we can't just sit up and say "complainers will always be complainers and they are simply getting on a bandwagon" It's about time people stand up and raise their issues.....if not these corporates will keep milking us from end to end making us feel as if they are doing us a favour..... Oh.......I have no gripe with Myles.....I have always found him to be quite informative and a pleasure to debate with and talk to......

But what makes you think every opinion is based on sound principles Myles.....because you say so it has to be sound (the collective you) Unless any of us are working for Discovery and have all the facts before us.....nothing is sound.....you have been pretty aggressive today I must add....but I know somewhere along the line we all see the tip of the iceberg and laugh about it.....

Nope......and the band of merry men will refer back the my idiocy.....but no.....

Nie hier op die Hub nie dame......hulle sê en betoog soos hulle wil maar vergeet hulle is self besig om the doen wat hulle jou voor beledig......

Ok, now I am going to be lazy and just fool around a bit........partly because I was on the IDT for 45min at 100% of max theoretical HR (174bpm) ( (and a bit more ). Interesting (again): THE SURPRISING HISTORY OF THE “HRmax=220-age” EQUATION. Robert A. Robergs, Roberto Landwehr. JEPonline. 2002;5(2):1-10. The estimation of maximal heart rate (HRmax) has been a feature of exercise physiology and related applied sciences since the late 1930’s. The estimation of HRmax has been largely based on the formula; HRmax=220-age. This equation is often presented in textbooks without explanation or citation to original research. In addition, the formula and related concepts are included in most certification exams within sports medicine, exercise physiology, and fitness. Despite the acceptance of this formula, research spanning more than two decades reveals the large error inherent in the estimation of HRmax (Sxy=7-11 b/min). Ironically, inquiry into the history of this formula reveals that it was not developed from original research, but resulted from observation based on data from approximately 11 references consisting of published research or unpublished scientific compilations. Consequently, the formula HRmax=220-age has no scientific merit for use in exercise physiology and related fields. A brief review of alternate HRmax prediction formula reveals that the majority of age-based univariate prediction equations also have large prediction errors (>10 b/min). Clearly, more research of HRmax needs to be done using a multivariate model, and equations may need to be developed that are population (fitness, health status, age, exercise mode) specific. Robergs2.pdf Interesting that so much focus is also placed of training heart rate, and not on rate of HR recovery or even resting HR dynamics over a period......which is utilized to indicate training status. But then also, say you become fitter and your bone and muscle density increases while for fat percentage decrease.................but wait, your BMI increase to severely obese values.......of brother, you are a high risk for the insurance company and you need a premium adjustment. Oh....the IDT session for this unfit, overweight, abrasive, obnoxious buffel......interval work for 45min.....no warm-up or cool-down.......just balls to the wall while listening to ACDC and Def Lepard. Sorry for the stone age electronics and display.......I am old school and it is my birthday one of these days. As you were, carry on......

A bit of a gander over at the Vitality site...... NEED TO KNOWYou need to have Vitality Active Rewards active.Pay a non-refundable activation fee of R350 with your Discovery Card.You can buy one Apple Watch per Vitality policy in a 24-month period.Applicable to Apple Watch Sport 38mm. You can select a different model by paying the difference upfront at the iStore. The Apple Watch is earned over a 24-month period.You require a Discovery Gold Card or higher with a straight limit of at least R15 000 and an available balance of at least R5 000.iPhone 5 or later is required to use Apple Watch.Apple is not a participant in or sponsor of Vitality Active Rewards.Only the main or secondary member on a policy as well as an adult dependant qualify for the benefit.Terms and conditions of the Vitality Active Rewards with Apple Watch benefit apply.Why only one Apple watch.......you are buying it from Apple not ? You require a Discovery card.....so they will make money off you missing your goals...... Wait a minute.......Apple is not a participant or sponsor of Vitality Active Rewards.......but Apple....it was bought from you...... That little blue bit T's and C's......gotta love them........in the T's and C's I read a lot of "you will be liable to Discovery" it does not say you will be liable to the Apple store.....it is starting to feel a bit more like "you bought the unit from Apple as Discovery and then sold it to me under you Vitality rewards program" ......."with all sincerity I would then like for you to get the unit repaired so it can accurately do what you said it would do" But that's me........

Some are abrasive and some are evasive......I am the former.....as for your abrasive approach telling me I should go elsewhere with my comments.....lovely to know you now own this place.......good luck with the i-store (snigger) Stay fit, whatever your focus.Some of us live for running, cycling, or hitting the gym. For others, it’s about being active throughout the day. Apple Watch combines the capabilities of an all-day activity tracker with those of a superior sport watch. Because it all counts. And it all adds up. Heart Rate SensorFollow the beat. Your heart rate is one of the most important indicators of your cardiovascular health. The custom sensor inside Apple Watch measures your heart rate throughout the day when you’re stationary. You can see these background heart rate data points in the Health app on your iPhone, where you can monitor them over time. ​Nowhere do I see Apple referring to their unit as the best or the most accurate...... yet Discovery want their members to accurately reach their zones from a unit that has been proven to be a bit of a failure.....Apple will just say "big improvements coming in version 2, we never really designed our SMART watch as a premier fitness device"

So why ask to begin with.....oh I see.....pissing contest

The topic says...."everything you need to know"....you will have to stomach all of it.....
