Google’s Code Points to Apple SOS-Like Features for Android

Android is lagging hard behind iOS for emergency satellite connectivity, and Google may be reaching out to Garmin to enable some kind of emergency SOS feature. Google’s Antitrust Case Is the Best Thing That Ever Happened to AI Late on Sunday, developer Neïl Rahmouni (first spotted by The Verge) shared some interesting code snippets that point to Google getting its own brand of emergency SOS…

A Twitter Experience

In the eight minutes I was waiting on this answer, I googled "bark collar" and read a couple of manuals.

I think the thing I paid the most attention to is this: How hard the manuals try to avoid saying "Buy this if: You want to electrocute your dog when it barks."

They're not "electrodes" they're "contact points."

It's not "80 Volts," it is "stimulation intensity 4"

It's not "shock punishment," it is "bark correction"

It is not "We sometimes give your dog an electric shock even when it doesn't bark but we got better at avoiding it," it is "Reduces false corrections"

It is not "don't attach a shock collar to your dog you psycho," it is "To prevent irritation from contact points, remove the collar for at least eight hours out of every 24-hour period. This device is not intended for human use. Do not attempt to use on any person."

It is not "animal cruelty is illegal," it is "Check your state and local laws and ordinances to ensure you fully understand any restrictions applicable to this product in your jurisdiction prior to purchase and/or use. Garmin does not assume any responsibility for any fines, penalties, or damages that may be incurred as a result of any state or local law or ordinance relating to use of the product."

The only reason you can tell this is a shock collar is because it contains this text: "when using vibration, no electrical stimulation is used." This is the only place in the manual that dares admit what is happening. Everything else is cleaned and sanitized.

Going Solo

There have been many changes in the demographics of who is walking the PCT. There have been dramatic increases in the numbers of foreign hikers and women hikers (see https://pcttrailsidereader.com/post/739558381630750720/halfway-anywhere-a-pct-gem) and the number of solo hikers. The perceived risk of walking alone has been tempered by the number of hikers on the PCT and the possibility of communication from even the most remote section of the trail (Jessie references taking an InReach in her story). And there are advantages as Jessie points out.

By Jessie Robinson Moore

“Who are you going with?”

“Myself.”

“You’re going alone?”

This was a conversation I had many times with friends, family, and strangers leading up to my six night, seven day section hike from Snoqualmie to Stevens Pass on the PCT. To most people I knew, hiking that far seemed crazy. Hiking that far alone, by myself, seemed incomprehensible. But to me, it seemed completely normal. 

I was going on my first solo backpacking trip as a 31 year-old female. I had done other backpacking trips with my father, partner, and friends, but I had never been fully responsible for myself. Of course I was nervous. Nervous about the unknowns. What if I get hurt? What if someone makes me uncomfortable? What about wild animals? What if I get bored?

I helped fight back against these fears with preparation. I carried a first aid kit, ibuprofen, and Icy Hot to help with aches and pains I knew would show up. Although I had an itinerary of where I would camp each night, I told myself it was okay to stop early and take long breaks if I was too tired and was walking sloppy. I don’t like to lie, but I practiced what I would say if someone asked me where I was camping (“somewhere past this [well known] part of trail!”) or if I was alone (“my partner is 30 minutes behind me, they got a slower start this morning”). I reminded myself that animals are more scared of you than you are of them, which came in handy when I saw a bear 50 feet away in the woods, walking the other way. It did not want to come near my hiking poles being banged together and fortunately, did not seem to have any friends or family nearby. 

And I never did get bored. The views were incredible (I was lucky to have beautiful weather), the climbs were challenging, and there were plenty of people along this section of the trail. I spoke with thru hikers that had started at the Mexico/California border in May, section hikers that were going the same direction or reverse direction of me, day hikers, runners, single night backpackers. There were stretches of time that I didn’t see many people, but for the most part I never felt truly alone. And it was nice to have my Garmin InReach Mini to communicate with my family and partner. I even made some friends that I hiked with for portions of the day. 

If you are a hiker or a backpacker, I cannot recommend enough doing a solo backpacking trip in your lifetime. You may find that you hate it, and you can continue backpacking with partners. Or you may find that you absolutely love being on your own schedule, taking breaks when you want, and being fully responsible for yourself in the great outdoors.

Official Eight Days wrapup post

I do have at least three things I’d like to finish before the end of the year from this (some shamash answer responses, my Lena and Amelie Couples Counseling, and another, secret Couples counseling) but I would like to formally bring this to a close, and to beg you, if you would like to see this event I work VERY hard at back again this year, to make me feel appreciated! 

To that end, we have the 

Big Eight Days 2022 Wrap Up Poll

Here is where you can tell me what you really loved this year, what you missed (please be kind, I have worked hard), and anything else! 

If you’d like to show me your appreciation in a tangible, physical form, I also would like to buy myself a gift! DETAILS BELOW

This is set up to reblog at least five more times before year end so brace yourselves

I have a tip jar! You can tip me at either Ko-Fi, or,  since Ko-Fi has recently started running through Paypal as goods and  services, thus taking a fee from my tips, you can just directly tip me at Paypal under @docholligay I have two things I am raising money in my tip jar for this year:

A Garmin Venu sq, the cheapest smartwatch that will work with my Stryd. I am an avid runner, and something I’m missing with my current setup, though it is great, is a way to glance at my times while running, which makes tempo work tough 42/120  (If you want your tip to go to this, put a heart emoji in the comments)

Three months of weekly pole dance class: I am working on strength and such, my traditional weak point, and I think weekly pole classes could be a fun way for me to build that! 28/154  (If you want your tip to go to this, put a smile emoji in the comments)

I also have a wish list of 8 Things For Hanukkah Under 40 Dollars for those of you who’d like to get me a physical little something I need or would like.

[inconveniently-discorporated]

My first time going out of the country was an accident, and we were detained. I mean, it must've looked pretty suspicious when an older man and a teenage girl with no ID said, "Sorry, we weren't actually trying to go to Canada, we were trying to go to Texas."

Yeah, I know -- so, what happened was that we were moving to Texas from California.

Yeah. I know.

See, before THAT happened, when I was 9, my dad took me on a cross-country road trip, because he didn't trust planes, and we were all visiting family. My brother and mom flew to the east coast, and my dad and I had the absolute best time. I wrote a lot of poetry (which really impressed my dad and was the beginning of a lifelong passion for writing), I saw a lot of different, amazing things, including an intense lightning storm (that happened as we were passing through the middle of nowhere, nothing in sight, with tornado warnings on the radio -- that was terrifying, but still amazing).

So, when I graduated -- the same summer we were going to move -- I requested another road trip with my dad. I wanted to visit where he grew up, which we did. Amazing memories I still have to this day, going through all the little towns as he talked about his storied past. For the final act, we went to Niagara Falls -- it was beautiful, and also the thing that led to us being detained while our car was completely and totally tossed by Canadian authorities.

Since we were moving to Texas, we wanted to go and take a look at potential places to rent. My mom was going to fly there with my brother (she had bad knees -- car trips were excruciating), and we were going to begin the trip down after visiting the falls.

Now, I couldn't go to the Canadian side, because my parents hadn't actually let me start driving, nor had I gotten any kind of official picture ID. Why? I don't know, I'm actually still bitter about it to this day. I was quite a responsible teenager, the most wild thing I did was skip lunch and spend my lunch money on Lord of the Rings merchandise at the mall instead. And I didn't have my student ID, because I had undiagnosed ADHD at the time (I still have ADHD but it's now diagnosed), and was QUITE ready to be over and done with anything having to do with any academic institute.

So, when my dad and I got our fill of the American side of the falls (I'm told it's not as good as the Canadian side -- oh well, I at least got dippin dots, which by the way have yet to become the ice cream of the future), we climbed into the car, loaded up "Austin, TX" on our GPS, and set off on our next adventure.

It was one of those really old newfangled Garmin things, because my dad never taught me how to use a paper map (remember that), and besides, my dad was freshly retired (they had kids later in life) and he wanted to know what it was like to experience some of the latest advances in modern luxuries.

This thing wasn't Google. It was a dumb smart GPS. There was nothing, apparently, telling it "avoid going outside of the country for this trip". Although, looking back on it, I suppose there could've been a setting for that. We certainly ASSUMED it wouldn't take us out of the country. Maybe we were the dumb smart ones. But, I digress.

We started seeing signs for Canada. But, our GPS kept trucking on. We got a little nervous, but surely it would know? There must've been some other road, another exit? By the time we realized that we were wrong, it was too late. There was nowhere to turn around. There was nowhere to get off. We were in it and we were headed for the border, we would just have to hope that they would let us pull a quick turnaround and let us get out of there.

Well, they didn't.

My dad was immediately very apologetic when we got to the window. "We're really sorry, we didn't mean to come this way," he said, "we were actually trying to get to Texas. This stupid GPS took us this way and we didn't know, could we please just turn around?"

LOL, no. The agent was immediately suspicious. And, I mean -- fair.

He wanted to see my dad's ID (which, if you remember, was from California). He then wanted to see my ID. I didn't have one. Did I have another picture ID? No. Did I even have a student ID? Also no.

"I have a library card," I offered.

"Does it have a picture on it?" the agent asked.

"Oh," I said. "No."

"Okay -- sir -- could you please pull up to that building over there?"

So, that's how that happened.

They were really quite confused, and my dad was increasingly more stressed out by the minute. His go-to coping mechanism was always humor, so the GPS suffered a lot of (polite) abuse and besmirching as we were questioned by a couple agents inside.

Finally, one of the agents had pulled out a map, and had figured out what the GPS was trying to do. You see, there was a road just barely inside of Canada that went around the falls, and that one was apparently much faster than just turning around and going the stupid old American way all the way through. So, the poor little thing was really only trying to help, it just ended up costing us much more time than it was going to save us.

And so, at last, with my dad barely holding back the sweat and the contents of our luggage strewn about the car, we were permitted to leave, so long as we left IMMEDIATELY. And we did, swiftly.

I'm happy to report that the rest of the trip was quite uneventful.

That's not to say that our MOVE was uneventful. No, that was Detained in Canada 2.0, only instead of getting detained in a foreign country, we busted up a bank drive-thru trying to turn around after getting lost in a random Los Angeles neighborhood at night, because my dad didn't pay attention to the clearance sign and wasn't used to driving a box truck.

Why were we lost in a random Los Angeles neighborhood at night? Because my dad didn't trust the GPS anymore, so he decided to only use paper maps. Only, he got impatient with the Los Angeles traffic, and tried to go around it, then making me copilot navigate using a paper map that didn't really show a lot of detail for surface streets, when I had never used a paper map before.

I still remember him yelling at me, "I just need to know if these roads connect! How do I get back on the highway?!"

"I don't know," I yelled back, squinting at the paper held right up to my face, because paper doesn't pinch-zoom. "I think it connects?! It looks like it?! The lines are touching??!!"

Spoiler: it didn't connect.

But we made it through. I lived down south for a whole year, but I barely count it, because I was borderline agoraphobic at the time and went outside maybe ten times.

So, anyway -- that is the story of the first time I technically left the country, and was subsequently detained for an hour.

(PS: I did go back to Canada, properly, about ten years later, with my husband. We royally fucked up though, and thought we could stop at the duty free place to get some Canadian money, because we had NO idea what the hell a duty free store actually was. We were then forced to leave the country and re-enter. We almost didn't, but I was DETERMINED to visit Canada this time, and besides, we had a bunch of Canadian money. The whole time, I was thinking, "Here we go again, we're going to be pulled over and searched. Hopefully they just turn us away."

They didn't. They weren't exactly friendly about it, but they let us through again after explaining. It probably helped that I had sufficient identification that time.)

(PPS: We never ended up having to pay damages for the bank thing, somehow, unless my dad just covered it up out of shame. I was just glad we made it to Texas in one piece with all of our stuff, most of which we ended up throwing away because we didn't want it anymore by the time we got there.)

(PPPS: Canada was lovely. The second time, not the first.)

So, you’re eyeing the Garmin Fenix 8, huh? Maybe you’ve heard the buzz. Or maybe you’re just in desperate need of a fitness watch that can keep up with your shocking schedule. Well, buckle up, because we're diving deep into this beast of a smartwatch. Spoiler: it’s got more features than your Netflix queue. Performance: Does the Garmin Fenix 8 Deliver? Alright, let’s talk performance. When it comes to sheer processing power, the Garmin Fenix 8 doesn't disappoint. It’s like they strapped a mini supercomputer on your wrist. Fast, responsive, and reliable—those are the key vibes here. The navigation through menus is snappy, and there’s virtually no lag when switching between features. Do you want to go from tracking your heart rate to checking your notifications? It’s a smooth ride. Sensors on Steroids: The Fenix 8’s sensors are top-notch, pulling in data faster than you can say "VO2 max." Whether it’s monitoring your altitude during a hike or checking your pulse mid-sprint, this watch keeps up. The heart rate monitor, in particular, has improved accuracy over previous models, which is a big deal for those who like their data dialed to the decimal. Battery Life: Garmin has listened to the fans here. The battery life on the Fenix 8 is a standout feature, no doubt about it. In smartwatch mode, it can last for weeks. Throw in some heavy GPS use, and you’re still looking at several days of juice. And if you’ve ever used GPS tracking on a run, you know how fast that usually drains a watch. Fenix 8? Barely breaks a sweat. Plus, the solar charging option? Game changer for those long treks where an outlet is nowhere in sight. User Experience: A Learning Curve, But Worth It Now, let’s get real about the user experience. If you’re new to Garmin or even just smartwatches in general, the Fenix 8 can feel like jumping into the deep end without a life jacket. There are a ton of features, buttons, and menus, and it can feel a bit overwhelming at first. Not gonna lie, there’s a learning curve. Interface and Usability: Garmin’s interface has always been a bit of a mixed bag. It’s powerful but not always the most intuitive. The good news is, once you get the hang of it, it’s incredibly rewarding. Think of it like learning to drive a stick shift—tricky at first, but once you get it, it’s smooth sailing. And for those who’ve used previous Fenix models, the interface tweaks in the Fenix 8 will feel like familiar territory with a few welcome surprises. Customization Galore: One thing users will love is the level of customization. Widgets, watch faces, data fields—you name it, you can tweak it. Want your screen to show your heart rate, altitude, and steps all at once? Go for it. Prefer a minimalist display with just the basics? Easy fix. The Garmin Connect app also plays nicely with the watch, making it super simple to customize settings or deep-dive into your stats post-workout. Notifications and Smart Features: When it comes to smart features, Garmin isn’t exactly Apple or Samsung, but it holds its own. You’ll get notifications for texts, calls, and apps right on your wrist. You can even reply with preset messages if you’re paired with an Android device. Music controls, weather updates, and Garmin Pay add to the convenience factor. Not the main selling points, but nice to have. What’s New with the Garmin Fenix 8? If you’ve seen the Fenix 7, you might be wondering, “What’s different here?” Good question, my friend. Garmin has seriously upped their game this time around. Here’s a rundown: amazing Battery Life: You know that feeling when your watch dies right in the middle of a long run? Yeah, that sucks. Garmin gets it. The Fenix 8 has battery life that goes on like the Energizer Bunny. We’re talking days—yes, DAYS—even if you’re constantly using GPS. Display Glow-Up: The screen is brighter, sharper, and way more responsive. It’s almost like they slapped a mini HD TV on your wrist. Perfect for checking your stats mid-workout without squinting like you’re reading fine print.

Health Metrics Galore: Sleep, stress, heart rate, hydration, oxygen levels, steps, calories burned—Garmin didn’t miss a beat. If you want to track it, Fenix 8 probably has a sensor for it. It’s your trainer, but without the judgment when you skip leg day. The Fitness Features: More Than Just Steps Let’s not kid ourselves; there are tons of fitness watches out there. What sets the Garmin Fenix 8 apart? For one, it’s got modes for activities you didn’t even know existed. Trail running in the Rockies? Check. Kayaking down a raging river? You bet. Sitting on the couch? Well, it’ll still count your steps, so... kind of. Multi-GNSS Support: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo—if it sounds like a high school science class, it’s probably in this watch. This means you’re getting more accurate tracking, whether you’re hiking deep in the woods or navigating a concrete jungle. Topographic Maps and Ski Maps: Built-in maps mean you’re less likely to get lost on your next adventure. And yes, it’s got maps for skiing too. So, if you’re tearing up the slopes, this thing’s got you covered. Training Features: Ever heard of PacePro? It’s like having a coach in your ear, keeping you on target with your race pace. And then there’s ClimbPro for those gnarly hill climbs, helping you pace yourself so you don’t bonk halfway up. The Look: Rugged Yet Stylish Here’s the thing: this watch looks like it could survive the apocalypse. It’s got that rugged, tough-as-nails vibe, but Garmin has made it sleek enough that it doesn’t look out of place at a dinner party. Options for different bands and materials (think titanium and sapphire) mean you can style it to your heart’s content. And yes, it’s waterproof. So go ahead, dive into the pool or get caught in a downpour. The Fenix 8 won’t flinch. What’s the Catch? Now, let’s keep it real. This watch isn’t cheap. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly fitness tracker, you might want to look elsewhere. But if you’re after top-tier features and don’t mind dropping some serious cash, the Garmin Fenix 8 is worth every penny. The interface can be a bit much at first—like trying to fly a plane when all you’ve driven is a bicycle—but once you get the hang of it, it’s smooth sailing. Garmin Fenix 8 vs. The Competition: How Does It Stack Up? Alright, you’re sold on the idea of a high-end smartwatch, but the market's full of flashy contenders. So how does the Garmin Fenix 8 stack up against its main rivals? Let’s pit it against the likes of the Apple Watch Ultra, Suunto 9 Peak Pro, and the Coros Vertix 2 to see who comes out on top. Garmin Fenix 8 vs. Apple Watch Ultra First up, is the Apple Watch Ultra. This one’s a no-brainer if you’re deep in the Apple ecosystem. Seamless integration with iPhone, AirPods, and all that jazz. But when it comes to hardcore fitness features, the Fenix 8 pulls ahead. Battery Life: The Fenix 8 obliterates the Apple Watch Ultra in battery life. We’re talking days versus hours. If you’re the type who hates constant charging, Garmin’s got you covered. Fitness and Tracking: Apple Watch Ultra offers some serious tracking features, but it leans more toward lifestyle than hardcore athletes. The Fenix 8, on the other hand, is built for those who need every ounce of data from every run, hike or swim. Multisport modes, advanced metrics, and those rugged good looks? Garmin’s the champ here. Usability and Interface: Apple’s UI is as smooth and sleek as you’d expect, and it feels more intuitive out of the box. Garmin's interface isn’t as flashy, but once you get the hang of it, it’s packed with customizability. And if you’re the kind of person who doesn’t want Siri bugging you mid-run, Fenix 8 keeps the focus purely on performance. Garmin Fenix 8 vs. Suunto 9 Peak Pro Moving on to the Suunto 9 Peak Pro, another big name in the adventure watch scene. Suunto’s known for its clean, simple UI and great battery life, but let's see where it stands. Design and Build: Both watches sport a rugged, outdoorsy look, but the Suunto leans more minimalist.

If sleek and subtle is your thing, the Suunto 9 Peak Pro has that Scandinavian design flair. The Fenix 8, though, screams "ready for anything" with its beefier build and customizable bands. Tracking Features: Garmin’s got more depth in activity tracking. Suunto does well with the basics and has a strong showing in endurance sports, but it lacks some of the advanced features Garmin packs in—like PacePro and ClimbPro. Plus, Garmin's map features are a big step up from what Suunto offers, especially if you're venturing off the beaten path. Battery and Performance: Both are solid here. Suunto prides itself on battery life, but Garmin’s solar charging and power management modes give it the edge, especially on those extended adventures where recharging isn’t an option. Garmin Fenix 8 vs. Coros Vertix 2 Last but not least, let’s talk Coros Vertix 2. Coros is all about that ultra-endurance life, and the Vertix 2 has been giving Garmin a run for its money in recent years. Advanced Metrics and Usability: Garmin still leads when it comes to depth and variety of fitness metrics. Coros offers a simpler, more straightforward experience with fewer bells and whistles, which some might prefer if they’re all about efficiency. But if you’re a data nerd who loves diving deep into analytics, Garmin’s got the upper hand. Battery Life: The Vertix 2 is no slouch—this thing can last up to 60 days in regular use, which is wild. Garmin’s no pushover with its battery life, especially with solar charging, but if battery life is the absolute top priority, Coros might just edge it out. Navigation and Mapping: Both watches offer impressive navigation tools, but Garmin’s topographic and ski maps make it a more versatile option for explorers. Coros has solid GPS accuracy and multi-GNSS support, but Garmin’s user interface and the way it presents navigation data are a touch more refined. Is the Garmin Fenix 8 Worth It? If you’re the kind of person who wants all the data, all the time, this is your match made in tech heaven. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just someone who loves the latest gadgets, the Garmin Fenix 8 delivers on almost every front. It’s powerful, packed with features, and, honestly, just fun to use. So, is the Garmin Fenix 8 a must-buy? If you’re serious about your fitness game—or just want to look like you are—it’s a strong contender. Don’t just take my word for it. Get out there and test it yourself. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll find it’s the only companion you need on your next adventure.

Diamond DA20: The Ideal Aircraft for Flight Training

Introduction

The Diamond DA20 is a standout aircraft in the world of flight training. Known for its modern design, easy handling, and reliability, it has become a favorite among flight schools and student pilots. This article explores what makes the Diamond DA20 so special and why it’s the perfect aircraft for those learning to fly.

The Origins of the Diamond DA20

The Diamond DA20 was created in the mid-1990s by Diamond Aircraft Industries. It was designed to be a cost-effective, reliable, and safe training aircraft. This new design aimed to improve on older training aircraft by using advanced materials and engineering to make a better plane for new pilots.

 Modern Design and Construction

The Diamond DA20 is made from composite materials, mainly glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP). This makes the plane lighter and stronger than traditional metal planes. The DA20’s smooth, aerodynamic shape helps it fly more efficiently, using less fuel and providing better performance.

Great Performance and Easy Handling

Does It Meet My Needs? Absolutely. My main needs were solid endurance tracking, reliable GPS, and long battery life – and the Garmin Enduro™ 3 nails all three. I’ve used it for everything from tracking long-distance runs to analyzing post-workout recovery, and it hasn’t disappointed me. It easily handles intense training sessions, whether it's a short, fast run or a multi-hour trail marathon. The battery life alone makes it an ideal companion for endurance athletes, and the wealth of data the watch collects helps me refine my training strategies. Issues or Limitations Though the Enduro™ 3 is mostly a dream, there are a couple of minor hiccups that could be better: Solar Charging: The solar charging feature isn’t as groundbreaking as I hoped. It extends the battery life a bit, but if you’re expecting a significant boost, it won’t blow your mind. It’s a cool bonus but not a game-changer. Interface Complexity: For those who aren’t used to Garmin devices, the sheer amount of customization and features can be a bit overwhelming. It’s not super intuitive at first, and you may find yourself sifting through menus or needing to reference the manual a few times. Wrist Comfort for Smaller Wrists: The watch is quite large, which can make it feel a bit clunky for folks with smaller wrists. It’s something you get used to, but the bulk can be a minor downside when worn for extended periods. Verdict on Limitations: While the minor issues are worth noting, they don’t outweigh the watch’s overall performance. The sheer durability, speed, and accuracy of the Garmin Enduro™ 3 far exceed any minor complaints I have. Final Thoughts on Performance If you’re serious about endurance sports, the Garmin Enduro™ 3 is built to keep up with your workload. It’s fast, accurate, and reliable even in extreme conditions. Though it comes with a few small limitations, they’re easily outweighed by its standout features and bulletproof performance. Whether you’re heading out on an all-day adventure or pushing your limits on a long run, this watch has your back – and then some. Garmin Enduro™ 3 Features: Packed with Power and Performance The Garmin Enduro™ 3 isn’t just your average fitness watch. It's fully loaded with features designed to help you optimize every aspect of endurance training, from real-time data tracking to personalized recovery insights. Let's dive into its main features and see how each one stacks up. 1.  amazing Battery Life What it is: The Enduro™ 3's battery can last for weeks. It has a power-saving mode and solar charging to stretch its life even further. How it helps: For ultra-endurance athletes, battery life is critical. The longer the watch stays powered, the more data you can track over long distances and durations. No need to worry about it dying halfway through a race or a multi-day adventure. Usefulness: 10/10. This feature alone is a game-changer for anyone doing ultra-events or spending days in the wild. 2. Advanced GPS Navigation What it is: Garmin’s top-tier GPS offers precise navigation, even in tricky terrains like dense forests or mountainous regions. How it helps: The GPS helps keep you on course during long-distance events, outdoor adventures, or trail runs. You can follow routes and even retrace your steps if needed.

Usefulness: 9/10. The GPS is spot-on, helping with both safety and performance, but it drains a bit of battery when used heavily. 3. VO2 Max & Performance Metrics What it is: This feature gives you detailed insights into your aerobic fitness by calculating your VO2 max, along with other performance metrics like cadence, stride length, and heart rate. How it helps: By understanding your VO2 max and heart rate zones, you can optimize your training intensity and recovery. It helps pinpoint where you can push harder and when to pull back, ensuring you maximize your gains. Usefulness: 9/10. These metrics help you train smarter, not harder. It’s essential for building endurance and improving overall performance. 4. Recovery Time and Sleep Tracking What it is: The watch analyzes your body’s data after each workout to give an estimated recovery time. It also tracks your sleep to monitor how well you’re recovering overnight. How it helps: Recovery is key to preventing injuries and improving performance. The Enduro™ 3’s ability to give real-time recovery insights helps you avoid overtraining, while sleep tracking ensures you’re getting the rest your body needs. Usefulness: 8/10. The recovery insights are spot-on, though sleep tracking can sometimes be hit-or-miss if you're a restless sleeper. 5. Multi-Sport Modes & Customizable Data Screens What it is: Whether you’re running, biking, swimming, or hiking, the Enduro™ 3 has specific modes for each activity. You can also customize the data fields to show only the stats that matter most to you. How it helps: This versatility makes the watch a powerhouse for athletes who dabble in multiple disciplines. The customizable screens allow you to focus on the metrics that directly impact your performance, like pace, heart rate, or distance. Usefulness: 9/10. Customizing the watch to your specific needs gives you more control over how you track your workouts. However, setting it up can be a little overwhelming at first. 6. Solar Charging What it is: The Enduro™ 3 has solar panels integrated into its design, which recharge the battery when you're outdoors. How it helps: Perfect for long adventures or races where you don’t have access to a charger. The watch keeps juicing up under the sun, extending the battery life even further. Usefulness: 7/10. While it’s a cool feature, the solar charge isn’t super fast. It’s great for keeping the battery alive longer but won’t fully recharge the watch. 7. Water Resistance What it is: The Garmin Enduro™ 3 is water-resistant up to 100 meters. How it helps: You don’t have to worry about sweat, rain, or even swimming with the watch. It’s built to handle whatever conditions you throw at it. Usefulness: 8/10. It’s perfect for triathletes or those training in all weather conditions, though not much use if you don’t plan on taking it swimming. 8. Garmin Connect Integration What it is: This allows you to sync your watch data with the Garmin Connect app, where you can review detailed stats, set goals, and compare your performance over time. How it helps: Having a hub for all your training data helps you see the bigger picture of your progress. You can analyze trends, adjust your training plan, and stay motivated by seeing improvements over time. Usefulness: 10/10. The integration is seamless, and the app provides valuable insights to fine-tune your training and recovery strategies. Final Thoughts on the Features The Garmin Enduro™ 3 comes with an impressive set of features that truly cater to endurance athletes. Each feature feels purposeful and geared towards improving performance or keeping you on track, whether it’s through data tracking, navigation, or recovery insights. While there are a few small quirks (like solar charging not being a total game-changer), the overall functionality and usefulness of each feature make this watch an excellent investment for athletes serious about their training.
