Looks like its a fitness tracker and uses heart rate variablity(hrv) as the thing it measures with an emphsis on your breathing. (hrv data can show the breathing rate of a person as your heart rate changesa bit depending on if you just breathed out or just breathed in) But not sure how much analysizing they are really doing and if how they intepret the data means anything.

]]> Comment on Incredible deals: Garmin FR910XT for $299, FR310XT for $169, Edge 800 for $229, Ambit for $349 by Rainmaker http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2013/05/incredible-fr910xt-fr310xt.html#comment-130329 Rainmaker Mon, 20 May 2013 19:59:14 +0000 http://www.dcrainmaker.com/?p=13333#comment-130329 Yup, it really does come down to preference in size (size matters?). From a functionality standpoint, the 800 obviously does more, but takes up more space. For triathletes, the Edge 500 fits a bit better because of the limited places to put it (aerobars/etc…). But for road/MTB folks, the Edge 800 tends to fit quite nicely on the stem, so it’s not bad.

No problems with the touch screen, never heard any complaints there. ‘It just works’. Gloves/water/etc are no problem.

It works in that version oddly enough.

This was quick and clean!

Realistically I could have been more efficient too, probably slicing at least 30-40 minutes off the time – but I was just enjoying the day and being lazy.

It seems to be a little short on distance compared to a friend’s nike+ app but does the job for me.

Keep up the awesome work, I have no idea how you manage to post everyday
