While Timex is still keeping that stance – he did seem to allude to the notion that some of the recent Garmin/MetriGear announcements might drive a bit of change there depending on customer demand for such configuration/calibration options. … I asked whether or not a power meter was in their future, or if partnering with a company such as Brim Brothers was on the radar.

Keep an eye out on Monday (on this page) for the latest round of sports tech details and plans for Black Friday/Cyber Monday to hit! At the same time, a bunch of Garmin deals end Monday as well. … While Intel denied parts of this (and certainly, I’m hearing plenty from the Oakley Radar Pace folks), I’ve found that in general where there’s smoke…there’s fire.

Just as Garmin announced yesterday a roughly half-priced version of their Vector pedal, today Polar did the same with their new Keo Power Essential power meter offering. … This particular development has been on the radar for…well…since before the original Keo Power System was announced years ago.

That means it’ll easily connect to your Garmin unit that uses ANT+, but also to Bluetooth Smart enabled units that support the power meter profile, such as the Ambit3 or soon the Polar V800 (or a slew of phone apps). … Based on their algorithms today he believes they won’t need to make changes there, but it’s on their radar to validate.

See, they actually can’t use Garmin Vector to test their product. … There are plenty of very capable and technical journalists out there - the guys and gals from Bike Radar, Velonews, or CyclingTips (as well as others I'm overlooking), are all technically capable of carrying out such tests and posting the raw data.

The core difference with an app like RideWithGPS is that it also has sensor support (even Garmin Varia radar integration), as well as uploads to all the various 3rd party platforms like a head unit (whereas Google Maps will most definitely not upload to Strava). … Especially since RideWithGPS was the first app out there to include cycling radar data back when Garmin initially opened that up to 3rd party apps via Bluetooth.

That has its own pros and cons, but I thought it was a notably different approach to what Garmin and Polar specifically, have done around smart alerts for nutrition/hydration based on real-time weather/calorie/fat burn using your heart rate. … In any case, there’s a long list of changes, including new radar mute options, as well as a number of user interface changes, including notably a new sensors quick-access menu.
www.dcrainmaker.com/2022/12/hammerhead-karoo-2-shimano-di2-workaround.html
And further, despite other bike computer companies like Garmin, Stages, and Wahoo all making power meters themselves, Shimano hasn’t demanded removal of Di2 from their units, nor have those companies responded by removing Di2 functionality. … Note that, at present, it doesn’t yet record the shift information in the .FIT file, but it sounds like that’s on the radar.

For example, Garmin has historically split announcements between Eurobike and Interbike. … But they’ve also not historically announced/started shipping half a dozen cycling products during the summer either (Edge 520, Varia Radar, Varia Lights, Vector2, Edge 20, Edge 25).

This watch has specs very similar to both the Garmin FR210 and the Timex Run Trainer, especially once you look at my comparison chart from Tuesday’s post (side note: Timex reached out and helped fill in a few blanks there, lots of great news at end of that post). … Same goes for a Spot Connect unit that’s on the radar.

I casually noticed that in a YouTuber’s sponsored video (by Garmin) the other day, they had created real watch renders of what she had workout-wise on her watch. … Maybe down the road there will be a secret menu option or something, but for now this is perfect (and somewhat reminiscent of the nifty Varia radar trick allowing you to change the car icons to chickens or whatever).
www.dcrainmaker.com/2012/10/my-2012-trainer-recommendations-early.html
It’s effectively future proofed by supporting both ANT+ and Bluetooth Smart, meaning it can connect to your existing ANT+ devices and broadcast power meter metrics (for example, to a Garmin FR310XT or Timex Global Trainer), as well as do the same directly to Bluetooth Smart compatibility devices. … I haven’t had the chance yet to do any power meter metric comparisons on it, but that’s on the near term radar.

3) Garmin’s inReach SOS Year in Review: This report charts every emergency button press, by location, type, and more. … 2) Apple Fitness+ now on Gympass: This was apparently announced back in January, but it definitely slipped by my radar in the flood of CES news that week.
