Yeah health fit owns so much. I just cancelled my Athlytic subscription because I figure staying in the green in that new bar is similar to the recommendations there. Thanks Fedule! Didn’t know! You can even have widgets displaying whatever, pretty cool and a good reminder that I’ve been slacking lol. Shame it doesn’t do any complications for the watch.

Fedule posted:Previously on My Posting, I lamented the kind of blunt approach Apple (and, I guess, Google) take to the recommendations their fitness tracking apps make, on the basis that while generally moving more is good, their basic offerings make no allowances for breaks or rest days and rely on you inputting an arbitrary calorie target and then judge you for not meeting it every day. Hello I had an unbroken streak that went to 2000+ days for all 3 rings. Not only that but I would make sure I got every random activity badge like earth day and so on. There were times when I realized I hadn’t closed my rings at 11:30pm and forced myself out of bed to walk around the block. There were times when I forgot to track a run using my watch and at the end of the day I’d figure out a way to “fake” the data in to keep that streak going (it wasn’t cheating you see, because I actually did the exercise it just wasn’t tracked). Then one day, one glorious day, I forgot or something and didn’t close my rings. That was the happiest day of my life. It was like I opened my eyes for the first time and was looking into the face of god and it was the most beautiful sight in the world. I heard the angels singing and everything. It was the happiest day of my life. Since that day I’ve stopped giving a god drat poo poo about the rings and I’m happy. I hope you find happiness too. No rings no masters

I increased it higher and higher for a while to keep pushing but then had to dial it (and exercise) down a bit when poo poo started getting scary with covid cause I didn’t wanna, you know, die. But I still obsessed over how I could close every single ring while spending the least amount of time outside. I don’t even know what my calorie and exercise rings are set to anymore and I’ve stopped paying attention to the stand ring completely because it’s just so useless and gives me credit for standing even though I’m sitting on my rear end. E: Oh if you’re talking about those monthly goals that keep going up forever (oh you ran 30km last month? How about you do 900km this month for this stupid badge) yeah I think I didn’t compete all of those. Boris Galerkin fucked around with this message at 06:49 on Dec 11, 2023 |

Real shame that the world's most valuable company can't afford to license patents. (assuming it's a valid patent, I don't loving know and I know patent trolls are out there. but Apple lost the case so it's kind of irrelevant at this point)

I work on patent litigation for a living, this case is less “hold the largest corporations accountable” and more “hold up the largest corporations so they have to pay us way more than the feature is worth”. Masimo’s a billion dollar corporation that’s made most of its money gouging medical providers, I don’t think anyone should approve of them trying to extend that into other economic sectors.

I can’t find the text now but when I read the Plaintiff’s patent text describing the innovation, it seemed like something vague enough to describe literally any pulse oximeter in the last 20 years. I don’t really care if Apple loses but I do care about stupid patents overreaching.

It’s weird that they added a workout end confirmation prompt in 10.0… and then made it a setting in 10.2. And mine defaulted back to off. I guess people had feedback on it?

Has anyone else developed skin irritation from the Ultra or Ultra 2 after switching from an older model? I was using a Series 7 previously and it was fine, the only other watch of any kind I've had this with was a non-smart Fossil that left a red patch on my wrist for a month or so after I stopped wearing it due to itching. No problems with the series 3, 4, or 7, and likewise no problems with my Tissot or Seiko watches. I've had the Ultra 2 for about three weeks and I've already gotten the same kind of red patch that Fossil gave me.

From a summary check on the product pages, ultra doesn't have a full glass back like a standard watch so you will have to keep the watch clean to avoid rashes if you have sensible skin.

Anyone have a good Ali Express or Amazon knockoff of the Ultra ocean band? Mine came with the trail loop and it's getting a bit off-colored and dirty-looking. Definitely don't feel like spending $100 one a new one.

Related, if you start a Functional Strength workout, it’ll never bother you with the “who are you kidding, you’re not exercising” pop up. Edit: oops or maybe that’s changed and it gives you half an hour of no movement. WithoutTheFezOn fucked around with this message at 19:34 on Dec 29, 2023 |

Wut product pages? https://support.apple.com/en-am/HT204665#:~:text=titanium%20case%2C%20sapphire%20crystal%2C-,ceramic%20back,-Apple%20Watch%20Series%209 Unless I am misreading, this doesn't indicate a difference in material construction in the backs for standard vs. Ultra watches. Whatever "ceramic" is, maybe there is a difference, but I didn't think any were full glass.

I meant by looking at product photos in the apple watch mini site. Unlike the standard watch, where most of the back is a slab of glass or glass-like crystal, the ultra only has a little bit at the center made of glass, with the rest made of other materials which might trigger rash reactions if not kept clean while you are getting heated/sweaty.

Thoughts on going from a 40mm watch to a 45mm? +$30 for a bigger screen seems like a good deal, but I'm wondering if it'd feel clumsy or awkward with my average-sized wrists/hands. fwiw I've been on a Series 5 til now; mainly interested in an upgrade because the battery is shot and not sure if it's worth putting $100 into the old hardware at this point.

Haven’t tried the ultra, but the solo loop is bad for skin reactions. Not that the ultra has that band, but which band are you using? Does it look like the irritation is coming from the watch or the band?

I washed the watch off and didn't wear it for a day, put it back on yesterday and it felt fine, started itching again today though so idk. I'm not giving this watch a bath every day. Still in the return window, so I may just send it back. e: left out a word Branch Nvidian fucked around with this message at 16:58 on Dec 31, 2023 |

Nothing will beat trying one on in person, if you're able to do that. I was debating the same thing and after trying one on, I decided I wouldn't like a 45mm with my wrist size/where I'd want to wear the watch. Also, bring a long sleeve shirt or jacket to wear when you try it on with. It can affect where you'd like your watch to sit, and what size watch you'd like.

i was getting some mild irritation from my 9 series (both under the watch and a bit under the strap). i started wearing it on my opposite wrist when i sleep now and the issue seems to have resolved itself now that i'm not wearing it on the same place 23 hours per day.

Found out a funny thing but the act of putting your arm out the window of a car with a cig and tapping the butt of the cig to knock the ash off triggers the Double-Tap action even though my fingers are absolutely not touching.

Not necessarily too tight for most people or that it feels too tight, but it too tight for you and your specific skin. It is extremely unlikely you are having an allergic reaction to the ceramic back while contact dermatitis is a common reaction from a watch being too tight.
