Make it only come on if you actually touch the face. Turn off shit like temperature and constant heart rate monitoring. Mine did well to last a day when I first got it. Now lasts 2 and a bit days. Not brilliant but I can live with it. There are loads of tips on the YouTube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Zico Posted February 8, 2023 Moderators Share Posted February 8, 2023 Got a Google watch "free" with my pixel phone RRP £379 or something like that I find it generally useless other than keeping a tab on heart rate/cals when working out and steps walked I wouldn't be impressed if I'd paid £100+ for it, let alone £379 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayjayoghani Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 (edited) Complete fucking technology idiot here. Can you get watches to make sure your heart rate stays within certain limits you can set? Alarm goes off to either speed up or slow down, that kind of thing. For Zone 2 running.

Nowack Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Surely running a line around Google earth is a lot easier, particularly the park bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent_white Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 I had a Samsung watch and I found it a waste of time. It needed to go on charge every 12 or so hours. I went out for a run once with Strava and Spotify on and the battery ran out half way round the route. And I wasn't even running that far. Hated the thing!

L/H White Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 most of the new garmins are like a sat nav just use the connect app to put in how far you want to go and it gives you 4 different routes, north, east, south & west it then displays the map on the watch face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
