  • Reverting to a Single Watch

    Reverting to a Single Watch

    Reading Time: 3 minutes Today I asked Google Bard whether I should wear two watches at a time and it told me not to. Specifically it told me not to wear a Garmin watch, and a Suunto watch at the same time as they may interferer with each other and more. Before the Apple Watch…

  • The Suunto 5 Peak and Suunto App

    The Suunto 5 Peak and Suunto App

    Reading Time: 4 minutes A few weeks, or even months ago, I noticed that the Suunto and Sports Tracker apps play very nicely with the Apple watch, especially Sports Tracker. For this reason I spent quite a bit of time playing with the sports tracker app with the iphone. In fact it almost convinced me…

  • My Lack Of Interest In the Apple Watch Ultra

    My Lack Of Interest In the Apple Watch Ultra

    Reading Time: 3 minutes I see people are training for ultrarunning events, scuba diving and more with the Apple Watch Ulta, but I feel no interest in such a watch. The first reason for my lack of interest is that the watch is stupidly expensive for something that lasts just 30 hours on a single…

  • Five Years With The Suunto Spartan

    Five Years With The Suunto Spartan

    Reading Time: 2 minutes I have had the Suunto Spartan for around five years, the Apple watch Series Four for Four and the Instinct since November 2021 and I find myself gravitating back towards the Suunto Spartan watch again. I pivoted away from the watch and Suunto because it moved towards WearOS and smartwatches, rather…

  • Of Blue Skies and Autumn Leaves

    Of Blue Skies and Autumn Leaves

    Reading Time: 2 minutes Today we might as well speak of blue skies and autumn leaves because that is what we’re facing. The Septemper/Autumn grey clouds, fog, and cold are not here yet. Instead we have warm sunny days. The habit of walking one and a half hours a day is perfectly safe, with such…

  • Taking a Break From The Apple Watch

    Taking a Break From The Apple Watch

    Reading Time: 3 minutes Yesterday I decided to take a break from the Apple watch for up to a week. I am tired of two behaviours. The first of these is the watch’s habit of saying that I did not stand for two or three hours in a row. I know that I have. I…

  • Suunto and Wear OS

    Reading Time: 3 minutes Suunto and Wear OS is a cultural shame. I like Suunto because it’s a European company with a European OS developed in Europe. It’s nice to buy their products because they’re reliable and hardly ever let me down. They’re also great because it’s European tech developers working together to create something…
