#12: a handlebar mount to use the watch while riding a bike. Roughly 10% of the price of a bike computer :-)

I'm a simple man. I see an Instinct on a stand, I press like. Great content as always. It is a bit of a long stretch, but technically Varia can connect to several watches as well. But hey, if the smart trainer qualifies... ;-D

Hi Des, I watched a lot of your reviews before buying a new training watch for my girlfriend (polar vantage m). However it would be nice if each review you could give each watch a score based on your personal opinion (maybe with the most important positives and negatives). So if I'm looking for a watch for a certain budget, I can take a look at the highest scores that fit my budget, and depending on my needs decide using the positives and negatives. I really appreciate the depth you go to in these videos. However when I am watching more than a couple reviews, it's easy to get lost in the details and lose track of what is the most important.

7:15 Is Garmin's extended display the only way in which their bike computers and smartwatches interact? My Edge 510 doesn't support it and I was wondering about if I should use it any differently now that I have a Forerunner 45 as well.

EXCELLENT JOB WELL DONE 👏 ✔️ 👍

It's pretty good.

Great video- I notice the Lamicall Stand holding Garmin instinct, Does this stand hold the Fenix line ( Fenix 5x, 7x, Tactix 7) while allowing room for a Garmin Charge cable to fee through the opening?

Does hr-run pro collect cadence, oscillation, ground contact time, ground contact balance, stride length, and vertical ratio on Vivoactive 4 /venu watches? Or you need tou use forerunner/fenix series to collect this data?

Holy crap, that's hardcore if you scratched the F6 sapphire. Was it a wipeout on rocks? I have been pretty impressed with how mine has held up after hitting many doorknobs and stuff like that with no damage, but I am not a mountain biker.

All great accessories I think, although instead of getting a bike computer why not just attaching your Garmin watch / or any other tracking watch to the bike? That's what i do with my Fenix and it works perfectly.

You can go for pretty much any of them but just note that the Apple Watch doesn’t collect anything more than heart rate, so you wouldn’t be able to utilize the more advanced features out of something like the HRM Pro. Thanks!

Hey Des, I'm surprised, how did you manage to damage the sapphire glass on the Fénix 7? I thought it was nearly impossible to scratch, unless you come across with particles elements like the same sapphire or diamond.

Mine 6X sapphire has bigger scratch, it's way easier to damage the Sapphire than I think cause I never notice when these scratches came on my watch. Anyway, my IWC and Rolex also have scratches. I will never put screen protect on any of my watches, phones, Pads, etc. But just keep in mind, Sapphire can be scratched.

What watch would you recommend that's $250 or less? 😮 Maybe I'll hold off one more year :)

The Garmin HRM Pro/HRM Pro Plus or Polar H10 would work for that kind of activity. I have reviews of all of those on my channel.

How is an Apple Watch with a screen protector on? Cause since it’s a piece of jewelry that you wear every day I feel that it will make it kinda ugly, same goes for the case. I was using the galaxy watch active which held fine to some accidental bumps while exercising but I feel that the Apple Watch will be more fragile.

If you’re careful it won’t be much of a problem. I was scared about it but as long as you don’t usually bump into things often or do activities that might damage the apple watch it should be fine. Apple care is also an option

I’ve banged my s5 (aluminium) so much now, especially working in retail. No bumps, only micro scratches on the screen primarily from the stainless steel mesh Apple Watch band. I’ve heard people with the stainless steel casing is more prone to these scratches on the sides from the mesh band. If you have the AOD on, you nvr notice any scratches.

For Garmin watch users (or other Ant+ compatible watches) the Garmin Tempe is nice, and reasonably priced accessory. It measures the temperature of wherever you fasten it. Here's a setup that I find fun. Garmin Fenix 6x strapped to the Garmin watch handle bar attachment of my bike, Jabra Elite Sport headphones measuring my heart rate (HR is paired to the phone through smart Bluetooth, headphone audio is paired to my phone but can pair to the watch too) and Tempe is paired to the watch measuring the temperature (although the Fenix watch can measure the true temperature if its not on your wrist). I find it handy to use my watch as a cycle computer this way. I could add a cadence sensor too but at the moment and with my level of cycling I'm not too bothered right now, maybe in the future.
