@@Dcrainmaker It's the main thing I still use Strava for since I bought my Apple watch. I use to be very active but after several years of next to no exercise I'm working on getting back in shape. Some sort of training load is the one thing the watch didn't have and I find it's an important motivator that I missed when I upgraded from a garmin to apple watch.

I was briefly thrilled about the pause function on the rings until you said “up to 90 days”! Ah yes, the well-known tech bro gestation period of 90 days…. (Not that I’m advocating stopping all activity for the duration of a pregnancy, but there may be cases where 90 days just doesn’t quite cut it). For swimming and other watersports: it is currently impossible to stop the timer on a workout promptly as you have to eject water first, and even then it usually won’t recognise wet fingers without a lot of trial and error. Some button or crown shortcuts for pausing and stopping the workout until you can dry off your fingers are long overdue!

@ShamanMick 2 ай бұрын

The training load implementation is interesting. The upside of a HRV aligned approach like Garmin is you don't have to worry about subjective experience biasing your input... but the downside is it only works for something like two sports and it nags you about dropping load when you really aren't. I build up a massive sweat tilling my 25m squared veggie patch but Garmin acts like I'm "in recovery". So being able to set it yourself is useful to some degree. I hope over time they will incorporate some easy way to track how much comes from high versus low intensity cardio, and unlike Garmin develop an actually useful anaerobic tracking function...

I have 3 problems with this: 1. Even my stupid little Venu 3 gets 4-5 days without charging, and that's with 1+ workouts/2 dog walks/many work emails/texts per day. 2. At some point in my fitness journey, I really wanted an AW--but just couldn't bring myself to give up my Android phone (and yes, that's even comparing vs the newest iPhone this year). 3. the more I use my Garmin, the more I realize, Hey, maybe I DON'T want my phone strapped to my wrist 24/7. And maybe that's where Garmin's niche is. I want to track and improve my fitness, but there used to be Life Before Smart Phones--and there's a lot to be said for that approach

Apple addressed the load for my workout and my physical abilities. The current workout load for me would normally report lower. Several months ago my high blood pressure medicine was increased. My previous elliptical workout would result in my pulse rate as high as 150+ bpm. After my new dosage, it dropped down to under 120 bpm. I am looking forward to watchOS 11, hopefully these features will work on my series 7 watch.

All this is nice and dandy but the HR sensor is still bugged. On mine and my friends Ultras, many times it can take over 10mins to get your HR when you start an outdoor run (and it’s not an issue of wearing it too tight or too loose).
