Alles von Douglas Adams ist gut, leider ist er viel zu früh gestorben und hat deswegen für meinen Geschmack viel zu wenig geschrieben.

Dirk Gently's holistische Detektei fand ich auch sehr gut.

In der ARD Audiothek gibt es übrigens gerade "Per Anhalter ins All", das 1981 vom (ich meine) WDR produzierte Hörspiel zu "Per Anhalter durch die Galaxis". Ich mag das sehr. Kann man natürlich auch über Tools runterladen.

Thank you very much.

I sometimes had the same problem with my heart rate on my Fenix 6, although not often. I replaced the silicone strap with a nylon one. When I was sweating heavily – which I can do quickly and very well – and the strap wasn't tight enough, the heart rate measurement was also inaccurate.

I really like the idea, thank you. I even have a chest strap from Garmin, the HRM Pro Plus, which I bought at the end of last year because it was on sale. It's a shame, of course, because now I can only use it to measure my heart rate if I don't buy a Garmin watch, but I think it would be the same with Polar if I only bought the strap and not one of their watches, right?

The battery repair service is very interesting, which speaks well for Polar, in my opinion. Thanks for the tip!

Oh, that's good to know about Suunto. Withings looks interesting, I'll take a closer look at that. And I wasn't familiar with the "quantified scientist" either, but he seems to make very interesting videos on the subject. Thanks! :)

 

My Garmin fenix 6 Pro, which is about 3.5 years old, seems to be dying. It got hot during the last charge and hasn't charged at all since then. I replaced the battery, then the cable and the power adapter, but nothing happened. To be honest, I'm very disappointed about this, but otherwise I was very happy with the watch.

I am now looking for a replacement from Europe, although it doesn't have to be a 1:1 replacement for the fenix.

What is important to me...

  • It should be robust
  • Accurate measurements for indoor sports (heart rate, oxygen saturation, etc.)
  • Accurate sleep analysis
  • I don't want to have to charge the battery every day or even every three days; it should last a little longer.
  • Water drinking tracker
  • A pedometer that is as accurate as possible

GPS and map functions would be important to me if they are responsive and intuitive and easy to use. Unfortunately, I didn't find this to be the case with my Garmin fenix 6 Pro.

I have looked at watches from Suunto (Switzerland) and Polar (Finland). If there are other good European manufacturers, I am open to suggestions. I would be very grateful for specific model recommendations.

I don't know if it has been already mentioned but I love bat a lot. It's like the cat command but with colors and line numbers. Makes things a little bit easier.
