Lanx Lanx GTR2 problems: For the 1 millionth time I’ve pressed ‘pause’ then ‘end’ after an outdoor bike trip. Also didn’t want to open phone app agps boost pre exercise, should be good no matter what? No exercise data, time or map is saved though wtf? Don’t care about the stats, but I wanted the map data, so my kid who went along could see how far we went. Fecking, feck feck. What am I doing wrong here?
the gtr2 gps is supposed to be really good, i don't bike like you but when i do walk around the hood, it looks pretty accurate and ppl have also tested it as so (maybe it's a region thing, america has better gps satelites?)

you did update it right? there was that huge update that gave alexa support (at least for the US) a few months ago

Yes, newest update before I went out. I think I simply misclick something when ending exercise, llike pause + end vs just end. So it doesn’t save it. I don’t know. Shouldn’t be that easy to fuck up :S

i mean its pretty difficult to misclick during an exercise, if you think that might some problem you have, maybe the way youre holding the handle bars are making you hit the bottom button and somehow you swipe left, lulz.

there is a the "lock" button too to prevent this, maybe try that the next workout to rule out the misclick issue

you updated app and watch you mean right?

We'll see how it works. I'd be fine with high-ok-low or some such. For DM2 ptt. Amazing if it works non-invasively.

If it works well enough, that's a really big deal.

Upgraded my fitbit charge 2 to fitbit charge 5 a month ago when the latter came out. No complaints.

Can you start the stop watch with screen always on and tell me if after 5 minutes it doesn't update until you wake the screen please

As mine and the warranty replacement have same issue, also happens after a 65 minute workout

Anyone have a tracker they like to use for swimming? I mostly want heart rate, but if there are other fancy/fun features I'm interested.

I don't recommend this. It's one of the things I got that I was very unhappy with. Battery life sucked, charging time sucked, software sucked, and mine stopped working in under a year.
Can’t comment on the last point but my experience with the other points is the opposite.

So a comment on fitness charge 5. Its been only 11 months since I bought it and the battery has shit itself. Fucker discharges by the time evening comes around. It has lost 55% charge since I put it about 5 hours ago. Contacted support and they are looking into my options for warranty replacements though I am somewhat concerned since I did not buy it directly from Fitbit but bought it from Amazon. My fitbit 2 lasted for like 5 years. Fucking thing sucks.

hey Izo Izo , isn't this a feature you wanted?

The Amazfit GTR 4 uses industry-leading dual-band circularly-polarized GPS antenna technology - similar to that used in the aircraft and automotive fields - so you can enjoy stronger positioning6 that's 99% as accurate as top handheld GPS locators.

Whether you're hiking a tree-covered trail or cycling to work through a congested city center, enjoy positioning that's unimpeded by environmental and multi-path interference.

*Support for the 6th satellite system will be added via OTA update.
