oh **** please no... Every "upgrade" has been a disaster when it comes to navigational efficiency. 

 

Needs to be far simpler and with more server space / power. 

That's what I mean't.... more server capacity..

 

Their site is not great from a navigational point of view but I can live with this..

Please elaborate on the smart ways to mount 1/4 mount to wrist??

 

Well, from what I have seen on the internets, they just find a thick ish and then just mount it with the rubber bands to the 1/4 turn mounts. 

 

Guys have been using it and are really happy with it so far. 

 

As far as I know, this is the cheapest way to get a new GPS heart rate watch that you can run with and use on your bike for under R3k.

Happy new year :)

 

I think discovery switches up the online setup so that people cannot be bothered to find links to do the online stuff so less people get to gold :P

one way is to buy the 910XT quick release strap which has the quarter turn mounting... there a few of these in the classifieds... I think the 310XT strap might work as well

I thought they were slightly different, I know you have to buy a 910XT outfront 1/4 turn mount for bike and can not use the 500 1/4 turn mount.

My mate is using his 910XT with standard 1/4 turn mounts (the one with rubber bands) without issue (not the barfly out front), so do not think there is a difference.  Can confirm on Sunday as am riding with him and will check to see if his 910XT will fit my 500 out front.

310 XT mounts wont work as the unit will be displayed side ways 

 

310 "grooves" are horizontal

Guys I'm getting seriously frustrated with trying to link strava in the discovery app. I know someone mentioned there was a way to fix it but I have searched all over here and can't find it.

Steps taken so far:

1. Uninstall both strava and discovery app

2. Reinstall both and try to link

3. Try to link strava from discovery website instead

 

Everything does about the same thing where I authorize discovery in strava and it returns to the app or webpage but strava isn't displayed and after a few days has not synced anything.

 

If I check strava under authorized apps then discovery vitality is there but I can get it to display or sync in either the discovery website or app.

Hair is being pulled out and I dont have much left!!

Is Moves Count (Suunto) no longer linked to Vitality?

I'm not sure if it ever was. I'm trying to get strava to sync because movescount happily syncs to strava but damned if I can get it right.

I had the same issue with all my phone apps and discovery, since around new years.

I found that by simply restarting my phone, everything suddenly syncs. Simple solution for the meantime.

Also just got a very nice sms, R1000 cash back was just paid into my account from my healthygear card :) Healthy Gear at sportsmans warehouse rocks!!!!

Thought the cash back was limited to R500 per month?

Has been working fir for me all the time, so cannot help there, you can also link more than just strava... I link Garmin and mapmyfitness to discovery incase one of the links stops working.

 

Upload to GC, which syncs to strava and mapmyfittness... Discovery syncs with all 3... but does not replicate the info... so do not get 3 lots of points!!

I got a R2960 discovery integrator pay back paid to me yesterday from discovery, I have no idea how I got it, but I am not going to complain.
