shaper Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 May be a reaction with something in the powder or softener? Under sweating conditions, it attacks... No idea. More comfortable when riding, but long distance runs... sometimes feels like more of a hassle than it is worth... (especially for those extra 50 Discovery award points ) Was hoping there would be a fenix 4 in the pipeline with optical sensor.... till then this wrist strap seems to work well and significantly less noticeable than a chest strap Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and fanievb 2

Ya all the new forerunners seems to be released with optical hrm sensors... so was surprised the F3 did not have... and the way garmin seems to have new products every other month these days... who knows, maybe an F3s or F4 sooner rather than later Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1

Suppose it is not a big deal if you plug your Garmin in, ditto on the Mio. Also a lot of bad publicity surrounding accuracy on the wrist. Apparently it does not like light? Can't read anything bad on DCRainmakers review though....... Thanks for sharing

Jaco-fiets Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 New toys! Absolute Black 34T Oval Chainring: 20151201_081937-1.jpg And Garmin Edge 520: 20151124_112254.jpgBought the same chainring about 2 weeks ago. Had a normal round 32T ring before. Feels like I am climbing more comfortable with the oval 34T than with the round 32T. Huge bonus is bigger top end speed on the flats as well. Best buy in a long time for me King Dean and Steven Knoetze (sk27) 2

Thanks for sharingAfter every ride, run or swim I charge my Garmin, so for me not much of a hassle to charge another... the chargers are all lined up. Battery life is ok for my usage and will do a 70.3 which is what I need for. If I decide to step up to a full IM then will probably go back to a chest strap. Think a lot of the accuracy issues are from people not wearing it tight enough on the wrist. So far have had no issues with dropping signal and records fine on my garmins as accurate as my chest strap on similar workouts... but is still early days using it.
