Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 So why not get a Garmin Watch then? because this one is free, if you play your cards right. Besides - I always ride with my phone. Non negotiable.
Runbikeswim Posted December 8, 2015 Author Posted December 8, 2015 Just walked into cresta and they have stock... Exchanged my 42 mm for a 38 for the wife
ibruegge Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Correct. So if I have to carry my phone while trail running (avoiding that was my only reasons to get the watch), but is the benefit of running with this watch?

Not a gps sports watch with smart capability. Essentially, it tracks your HR and integrates with your phone. Primary function is as a smart watch.
Joeboy69 Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Region is South Africa and the date and time in the watch and phone is correct [emoji51][emoji51]Strava release another update, will see if it works accurately on Saturday with the Gran Frodo
Craai Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Apple watch 2 to be released soon.http://mybroadband.co.za/news/gadgets/149071-apple-watch-2-and-iphone-6c-coming-soon-report.html I predict some unhappy people...

Bub Marley Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 The thing with Apple though is the software will be upgradeable across all models. I carry my phone with me regardless so the built in gps wouldn't really make a difference to me. Also, my phone charges when I sleep so that sleep tracker wouldnt work for me as well.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 what is 3d touch?force touch, aka 3d touch. In place on the watch at the moment, but in a limited capacity. Essentially different behaviour when you press the screen with varying pressure.
Latent_Blue Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 we called it n the other thread about a month ago. Now the gamble is - will discovery just continue with the original watch - or incorporate the new one in the deal...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Now the gamble is - will discovery just continue with the original watch - or incorporate the new one in the deal...I'd imagine it would be the same as it is at the moment. Same coverage ie they cover cost of watch 38mm, you pay in for difference, if any. Unless the cost of the new watch is the same as the current one, in which case we pay for new one. All just assumption until it happens though. If it were me, I'd wait.

Based on my interpretation of your calculations, I also figured that I should wait for the new year's point system to come along... Now I might even wait longet...
Abercrombie Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Hi guys, please bear with my ignorance here. So in order to qualify does one have to have a Discovery credit card?I get points via Gym membership as well as Garmin Connect, I take it that's something else entirely?
