What’s funny is that if you were to look at the total distances here, you’d think they were close (Reference Buoy at 1.19km, Garmin Epix Pro at 1.19km, and Polar Grit X2 Pro at 1.16km). … For lack of anywhere else to put it, the Polar Grit X2 Pro can pair to Bluetooth Smart sensors, namely: Heart Rate sensors, Footpads, Running Power Meters (Stryd), Cycling Power Meters, Cycling Speed/Cadence sensors, and some body temperature sensors.

When you get too close to an object, it’ll show you the distance away to the object and display bars on the screen. … Now I’ll talk more about performance later on in a dedicated section, but it’s worth noting that by default the Mavic has slightly reduced basic performance characteristics in terms of speed than the DJI Phantom 4 does.

However, you’ve also got two additional data fields you can add: Distance and Time till empty. … You can estimate it taking about 5-10 seconds per song to download, so about 10 songs per minute (speed varies based on the length of the song and other factors).

The upper half of the page has my summary stats (distance, duration, pace, heart rate), which is then followed by a map of my run and some graphs of my data. … You’ll notice in this same area you can also pair other sensors like (ANT+ or Bluetooth Smart) heart rate straps, footpods, power meters, speed/cadence sensors, and straight-up cadence-only sensors.
www.dcrainmaker.com/2018/06/garmin-fenix5-review.html
This includes things like distance, calories, and heart rate zones. … On the other sensor front, I’ve largely used power meters (Vector 3, Stages LR, Favero Assioma, SRM Exakt specifically), and the Wahoo SPEED ANT+ speed sensor.
www.dcrainmaker.com/2023/09/wahoo-trainer-review.html
The above two are mostly just useful when pairing to more basic smartwatches that might not support power meters/cadence, but I don’t expect it matters to too many people – especially given that the Apple Watch now supports power meters natively (and will show speed/distance from the KICKR MOVE). … Next, the KICKR MOVE comes with an 11-speed cassette on it.

The 2XU Tri top has gone the distance! It has a built in sports bra and has two small pockets on back for nutrition. … Drills - Pool buoy: FINIS Foam Pull Buoy- Since I do not have as much “body” to float, I found that the speedo pull buoy that Ray and my coach use was a little over kill for me, so I scaled down to this “Junior” pull buoy and love it.
www.dcrainmaker.com/2012/06/timex-cycle-trainer-20-gps-in-depth.html
In addition to showing you how fast and how far, the unit also allows you to enable and configure alerts for the following parameters: Time/Distance, Speed/Pace, Heart Rate, Cadence, and Power. … You can override the default settings to provide custom speeds if you wish.
www.dcrainmaker.com/2023/11/coros-depth-review.html
As you can see above, there isn’t any sort of distance to turn or other detail - stuff most other companies have. … Next, when it comes to sensor support (namely for cycling), COROS supports all the major Bluetooth Smart sensor types in terms of power meters, cadence sensors, speed sensors, heart rate straps, and even running footpods & Stryd running power meters (it also has native running power too, which near-identically matches Stryd’s values).

When it comes to interval workouts, you can define a specific work and recovery duration/distance, as well as have a free-form warm-up/cool-down time period. … Suunto has long since used the ‘Fused’ branding for other areas, such as FusedSpeed and FusedAlti.
www.dcrainmaker.com/2020/09/garmin-forerunner-745-depth-review.html
However, there are a handful of new features here, including a new track recognition mode that nails your track workout’s GPS map to the correct lane on the track, as well as ensuring the distance is virtually identical to what you run. … But, if you’re new to the Garmin ecosystem, then this will get you up to speed.
www.dcrainmaker.com/2019/02/coros-multisport-review.html
You can also shortcut into settings, and enable Auto-Pause, as well as distance, pace, cadence, and HR alerts. … Note that if you’re using an indoor trainer and haven’t paired the speed side of the equation over, these numbers will be rather low in wintertime (like mine are for cycling).
www.dcrainmaker.com/2022/05/garmin-forerunner-solar-review.html
If you increase intensity, it’ll decrease your duration till death (in either distance or time). … eBike (ANT+), Extended Display (ANT+), External HR (ANT+ & Bluetooth Smart), Footpod (ANT+ & Bluetooth Smart), Headphones (Bluetooth), inReach (ANT+), Cycling Lights (ANT+), Muscle O2 (ANT+), Power (ANT+ & Bluetooth Smart), Cycling Radar (ANT+), RD Pod (ANT+), Shifting (ANT+), Shimano Di2 (Propriety ANT), Smart Trainer (ANT+), Speed/Cadence (ANT+ & Bluetooth Smart), Tempe (ANT+), VIRB (ANT+).

First off, unlike the Garmin Swim, you can’t do Drill Mode, which allowed you to set distances for sections where you were doing drills (such as kickboard) that didn’t give any useful data. … Thus I don’t want you to think my time with it has been perfect, but I’ve been impressed with the speed to fix the outstanding issues, and in the grand scheme of things – how few issues there are compared to other products I’ve tested at this stage.
www.dcrainmaker.com/2022/01/garmin-venu-plus-depth-review.html
You can also configure alerts for heart rate, run/walk, pace, time, distance, cadence, and calories. … The unit supports Headphones (Bluetooth audio devices), Heart Rate Sensors, Speed/Cadence, Foot Pod, Tempe (Temperature), ANT+ Cycling Lights, ANT+ Radar, and golf club sensors.
www.dcrainmaker.com/2020/09/garmin-venu-sq-depth-review.html
Anyway, moving along to activity tracking, the unit will monitor your steps/sleep/distance using the accelerometer inside it. … The supported sensor types are: Headphones, Heart Rate, Cycling Speed/Cadence, Running Footpods, Tempe (Temperature), ANT+ Cycling Lights, ANT+ Cycling Radar, Golf Club sensors.
www.dcrainmaker.com/2017/05/suunto-spartan-review.html
And these days, this activity tracking properly shows up on the smartphone app and web as well – something it didn’t do in the past! Note however that at this time Suunto does not track any sleep metrics (at all), nor do they track distance walked (at all). … While Suunto has made good gains in terms of improving the speed of the user interface, I’d argue it still feels sluggish at times.
www.dcrainmaker.com/2013/12/garmin-depth-review.html
The VIRB Elite includes a GPS sensor that allows the unit to record your current location, as well as record/display information such as speed and distance. … For the high-speed capture modes, these are generally used in fast-action scenarios, such as someone going off a ski jump where you want to slow down the footage to get the slow-motion effect.
www.dcrainmaker.com/2020/04/polar-grit-watch-review.html
So if you’re outside you’ll see things like speed/pace, distance, etc… More or less all the usual goodness you’d expect from a GPS watch. … It allows you to compare power meters/trainers, heart rate, cadence, speed/pace, GPS tracks and plenty more.
www.dcrainmaker.com/2023/10/technogym-treadmill-review.html
If you’re a rather fast runner that’s specifically training for shorter distances (e.g., 400m races), then it might not be enough for what you need. … From a speed/specs standpoint, the treadmill goes up to a max speed of 12.5MPH/20.0KPH (4:48/mile or 3:00/KM).
