Discovery Health - Vitality & Team Vitality plus everything else you need to know

I'm a Garmin man.

The cheapest device (I think) is the FP70 which normally sells 2nd hand for about R700.

There was one for sale here some time back but I don't see the ad any more.

It's a running watch but it does have a cycling profile on it and all that you are after is a device that can log HR and time.

Plenty of Forerunner watches in the classifies that will work for you and are under R2k.

 

If you want new then the Edge 25 sells for R3k on the Garmin website.

 

Might also be a good idea for Vitality to launch their Device Booster and see what's on there.

 

Yeah, I'm definitely waiting with anticipation for the Device booster. Not sure when they plan to release the details. Also, I'm not sure why they decided to make the device booster work over 24 months instead of 12, especially with the limit of R4000 on device price.

For those with young kids, saw this now when updating the Disco app... not sure, yet, what is entails, but I guess I’ll soon find out. My second one is 4 years old and is eligible.

Have you created the profile yet under My baby. I am trying to find more info on their site but the site crashes, would like to know before I go and sign up for my kids having to wear a heart rate monitor when they go play  in the park..

My guess is that since the shoe booster is R 2000 over 12 months the device booster is R4000 over 24 months.

12 months for every R2000 they "sponsor" us

Can anyone recommend a cheap device that supports / comes with a heart rate strap, not wrist-based, HR that can link to discovery? I've read a lot about wrist-based not working well for mountain biking, especially when HR is 180+

 

I'd be looking in the range < R2000 if possible. I have cycle computers already that give me the rest.

Why not get this?

It stores the HR data for the session, and you can upload from there. Or pair it with your phone and use with the app of your choice?

What is the most valuable surprise reward that you received thus far in the 2 or 3 months of the new reward system?

 

I once won a R100 Nando's voucher and the rest of the spins only the core additional smoothie/popcorn rewards.

 

Although it feels very promising spinning the wheel, I doubt that the holiday package rewards are even active.

My previous boss won two Kulula tickets to anywhere in SA in the second month of the spins being active.

I was wondering what people were getting.

 

I got a smoothie in the beginning and the rest have been breakfasts 

The breakfasts are cheaper then smoothies so I'm guessing that will be the bulk of the prizes.

I use the wahoo tickr with the Samsung move app. It's R820 on Takealot but they don't have stock at the moment
