    Nike Band - Flaw?

    I got a Nike Band and it's superb! I really like it. My wrist can breath and it's not as sweaty. My only issue is there are vents on one side but from the pin on the other side, it's like a normal sports band and is blocking the vents, so in effect you only have vents on one side. Anyone else...

    Heart Rate monitoring

    I love my apple watch but the heart rate monitor is poor. Taking a reading every 10 mins is pretty pointless. I walk home look at my HR, it's 70. I run home (without using the activity app) look and it's 70. I sit down, eat my dinner, it's 140. I got a Fitbit Blaze. It records the HR every 5...

    Autosleep vs Sleep Watch vs Sleep Tracker

    Hi, I tested all three sleeping apps. There aren't that many reviews comparing them so I tried and reviewed them myself. https://honglong1976.wordpress.com/2017/04/18/autosleep-vs-sleep-watch-vs-sleep-tracker-mini-review/ Until Apple native supports sleep, we will have to use an app. The best...

    Steel/Saphire screen - just noticed something

    Point a light at it and look closely. You can see a very thin line which goes all around the display (a few mm outside the actual display). I tried to take a photo but it's hard to see. It's either the area the coating is covering or a piece of sapphire is fused to the glass. I remember seeing a...

    Apple Watch + Apple Tracker - 6 months battery!?

    I love my Apple Watch - Series 0. I just wish the battery life was better. It doesn't track sleep (without an app). I find wear the watch to bed annoying. I purchased a Misfit Shine (for £12 from CEX). It takes a coin battery, tracks all your activity, automatic activity recognition and sleep...
