Is your dog called Waffle?

You actually hate birdsong?
It’s all about getting in the zone … not need for music. Embrace the suck as macca used to say

The amount of people who say “oh, look, it’s a Waffle dog”
And yes, birdsong isn’t my favourite thing.
I detest it - just nature noises in general, it’s so bloody loud.
Can yours talk though?
@gingerbongo - Already covered that one. They all talk!
What’s with the new (at least to me) respiration data tracking on GC? I mean what is it supposed to be measuring, or rather why and how?
Is this the case of just measuring something because it can? Or is there actually value to it?
Thanks for the heads up…had missed this. Works beautifully. Likes!
Probably something only Team Ineos will use

Rearrange those words into a well known sentence?

Swim alerts are not working on my 735. Anyone with a 735 tries using the alerts? Also how bob is it having to set the distance in lengths rather than er… actual distance like.
Makes sense to me using lengths not distance for a pool based workout otherwise you would need to add pool length as another parameter. Open water swim uses the actual distance for alerts.
You always have to set the pool length anyhow? If you want a 400m alert you have to change the lengths & pool length. Multiple alerts, multiple faff.
I swim in 20, 25 & 50m pools almost alternatively.
Anyone got any links to offers on 935xt
Good point well made. I just looked. That does seem silly. If you wanted a 400m alert all the time in different length pools, then it would be easier to set that as a fixed value.
The only reason I can see for it being treated the way it is would be because of “null” values. If you set 150m, and then swam in a 20m pool, would the coding have a breakdown when it can’t trigger that alert? Would have thought it was relatively straightforward to have some kind of workaround, but I can see their current way ensures that situation is never encountered.

In that case yes it is a faff for you. I always swim in the same size pool.
While I’m on a roll, the custom pool length ought to stay at what you last set it to so I don’t have to thumb to 20m every time.
I’d have to check but i’m sure the 920 alert used meters.

Very much this. I only ever swim in a custom length pool of 20m. If I’m selecting a custom pool length, why would the logical starting point be the last default pool length I used? Clearly I don’t want a default length … that’s why I’m setting a custom length

That’s weird. My 735 always has the size of pool I set it to last.
Kinda of a pain as I too swim in 20, 33 and 36 meter pools
Yes, it does that. So if I’m constantly swimming in a 20m pool, fine. But if I do a club session in a 25m pool and select the default 25m pool length, when you go to swim in a custom pool length, it will show 25m, not 20m that you last used when in custom.

Ah gotcha. Irritating.
So I have 2 swim profiles to sort of get around this. I have a 25m pool profile for when I’m in my local pool, and an ‘other’ pool profile for when I swim with at a 33m pool, or end up in a hotel with an 18m pool.
I also have my 400m alert set to 15 lengths, because I like to know 2 lengths before the end rather than 1. This turns into a 500m alert in the 33m pool, but I’m rarely swimming that far and usually just following feet, so don’t use the alert much.
