www.dcrainmaker.com/2024/02/wahoo-kickr-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.

Further, on the handlebars, I had the similar-priced Hammerhead Karoo 2, and Garmin Edge 830 (neither of which have multi-band), while usually having a few watches with me (including the Forerunner 955, which is closer in price and does have multi-band).

For those that didn’t win – don’t worry – you can still go out and pick up your very own little orange watch and enjoy it for the rest of the tri season and the upcoming fall running season (or, if you’re upside-down in Madagascar, some other whacky season).

2) Staff: You know how when you pull up to a hotel and the staff warmly greets you? You know how when you ask for something the hotel staff usually smile and help out? You know how when you watch staff in a hotel they act a certain way – as if they had been trained to work in a hotel? Well…none of that generally occurs on Denis.

www.dcrainmaker.com/2008/08/ironman-canada-2008-when-clock-strikes.html

Big Garmin Edge, Fenix, and Epix Sale (US): Quick Thoughts

www.dcrainmaker.com/2024/05/garmin-fenix-thoughts.html

Likewise, we saw the Forerunner 265 and Forerunner 965 announce a year ago, and it’d be a pretty big shift for Garmin to switch to 12-month release cycles for those watches, so I don’t expect that either.

Nifty Garmin Edge 500 Custom Mount

www.dcrainmaker.com/2012/03/nifty-garmin-edge-500-custom-mount.html

The mount works with the Edge 200, Edge 500, and Edge 800, which all use the quarter turn quick release kit: It should be noted though that while it does allow the FR310XT and FR910XT with the quick release kit to mount to it (since they also share the quarter-turn mount), those two units have the mounts on them oriented 90*, which means that if you were to place the watch in this particular molded mount, it would be turned 90* (in other words, facing the side of your bike).

In an ideal world I’d own a giant plot of land in the middle of nowhere and be able to setup something akin to a miniature chairlift cable system that drags watches through the woods on a cable to test GPS battery life – swinging them as it goes.
