    I honestly really like that they give such detailed changelogs, so many companies just go "fixed various bugs" for every single update. As a technical person it's really fascinating what goes on behind the scenes, and what can go wrong.

    • @SvoyakD
      @SvoyakD Месяц назад +1

      So many companies release devices with quality software, rather than selling a full-priced product that's not even a beta, but a buggy alpha that you end up testing for a whole year, and hallelujah - you finally get a more or less stable device.

    I use the polar verity sense! It's not junk man! I love it. It's very comfortable to wear and doesn't require any gel or sweat to start working (optical sensor). I have compared it to the garmin dual HRM strap and it seems very accurate as well. I don't really like the feeling of a strap around my chest and so this is a great alternative. I wear it on my upper arm with the sensor towards the inside (medial aspect) of my arm and I put it under the sleeve of my jersey. I often forget I am even wearing it until I start undressing to take a shower after my ride and I realize it's there.

    • @gplama

    @GPLama - were you able to set up your wireless blips for both short and long press? I came across people on Garmin forum reporting they were able to get the short press ant+ only, but not the long one. Is that a limitation of wireless blips over ant+? Would be great if you can test on yours.

    • @gplama
      @gplama  Месяц назад +1

      I believe the Blips only do short presses. It's how they conserve their non-replaceable batteries. The AXS app only lists 'short press' as an option when configuring them in ANT+ Shift Function mode. Garmin Edge devices still list Long Press, in error I assume.

    • @pszemysuaf
      @pszemysuaf Месяц назад

      ​@@gplama That makes sense (unfortunately), but it's a bit pity for Rival AXS owners - no wired port and a prospect of $100 out of pocket to merely scroll the screen back and forth is a luxury. If there was only a way to have one blip set up as Pause/Resume workout (for controlling recovery time between hill repeats, not stoping the timer) and then the other as screen scroll fwd. Alas being on Edge 840 I don't see that be a valid scenario. Cheers mate!👍

    No mention of the bug where my 840 just wakes up from standby, and if I have auto sleep off, just drains the battery.

    Hey Shane, thanks for the informative videos.
    Have you or anyone else noticed the Edge 840 overestimates the distance (and speed) by up to 10%? I have been using the 840 for about 9 months and have noticed that the distances reported by the 840 are always greater than all my previous devices & methods or recording distances (e.g. Garmin 520, Garmin speed sensors, Strava apps, Topeak Panoram V12, etc). All other devices report distances within ~100m of each other for a 20-30km ride but the Garmin 840 reports around 2-3 km longer. On a recent group ride all other riders reported distances in the range 58.8 and 59.4 km. My Garmin 840 reported 63.2 km.
    Last week I borrowed a brand new Garmin 840 (from my bike shop) and it too overstated the distances. I wonder if you or anybody else has noticed this or has conducted a detailed assessment of the accuracy. All software on my devices are up to date. I have played around with the different satellite settings with mixed and inconsistent results. Garmin states "With a strong satellite signal, the GPS position reported by an outdoor watch should be accurate to 3 meters or 10 feet." This is not my experience.
    What's the experience of the cycling community? Perhaps a topic for a video?
    cheers

      That's the word people are floating around on the Interwebs. I'd have a lot of questions if there is to be a x50 range released this year. If that means an effective sunsetting of the x40, that'll ruffle a few feathers. Even with the new Karoo dropping last week, the x40 series is still ahead on features.
      I think there's a lot of low hanging fruit for Gamin to pick in 2024 that would be easy wins. An updated Edge 130 (140!), an RTL515 with USB-C and a slightly bigger battery (maybe they can switch to 77GHz and make it reliable?), just to name two things.
