Excited for this podcast! One small suggestion: can you include TH-cam Chapter markers in your videos? Thanks! Makes it easier to find relevant sections
That is what I have just been looking for! Yes, please!!
More Rainmaker and Desfit content???
🤯 *SUBSCRIBED!*
🙌🙌
Great to hear Shane will be making occasional visits to the reboot!
Yup!
The quality of this is great, and I'm not trying to make Ray feel bad because I think both videos are great... but Des... this really highlights the quality of your video, sound and color grading... looks fantastic for a first podcast effort. Thanks guys for great content.
Looking forward to following this podcast. By the way, I would love it if somebody made a watch/ring combo that seamlessly integrated the data between the two. I personally would find the watch much more comfortable to wear only during the day and the ring only when sleeping. So pass that on to your industry contacts.
And by “somebody” I kinda mean Garmin.
so glad you guys decided to do a podcast!.. Big fan of you both
Thanks!
wonderful initiative guys. looking forward to your content. apparently there was fog in Amsterdam during this recording 😅
Cool! Glad you are doing this
🙌
Loved the podcast. Please keep up the great work.
Definitely!
Thanks for the podcast! Please can you next time use timestamps
Glad to have you back!
Thanks!
Aye! This is neat. Nice job guys!
Love the new show/podcast. One stop to get all the great updates.
Thanks!
Great podcast! 💪 Love to see you teaming up.
Can't wait to get the Garmin Connect overhaul. But I would love to see some additional changes as well. Would be nice if Garmin finally incorporate "Goals" from their desktop version into the app. And by doing so they also need to optimize this feature. Maybe like it is implemented in the Adidas Running app. This is nearly perfect.
I also want to see hidden notes on activities like it's on Strava. There are things I want to write down but don't want to be seen by others. That would be nice!
Looking forward to listening to this podcast weekly. Subscribed! On the ‘old’ Garmin Connect app you could also customize what you wanted to see on the home screen. So if you were not interested in certain data, you could just hide/remove it. So… nothing new here with the new GC app.
Great idea Guys, keep this running! 🔥👍
Definitely 👍
Oura Gen1/Gen2 had infrared only, but the Gen3 is a tri-band optical heart rate sensor. The infrared is used for nocturnal heart rate/heart rate variability, red for SpO2, and green for heart rate (mostly during the day).
Very cool - excited to watch this!
Thanks for tuning in!
awesome content! Would be interesting to get your take on Garmin Connect vs. Coros app, e.g., the metrics, UI, etc. Thanks!
Good to know about the track. I'm going there this weekend😅
🏃
Great episode 💪 Would appreciate time stamps though 🤗
great podcast, have some guest appearances.
Fast Talking Fitness. You guys are great. Need to schedule when i can watch. Be well.
Ha! That’s a great alternative title
Could it maybe be timestamped? That would be amazing.
It's a great podcast nonetheless, though!
I love the Garmin app. I think it's brilliant but I am a huge data nerd
9mins in and I've heard motion based mentioned.. this is my kinda place!😊
Great to have you, Paul!
Cool reboot. Like 👍
Thanks!
I don't know how. But you can make the playlist to a podcast on TH-cam so it shows on yt music
FYI DCR: Border Patrol is the old legacy name. CBP is Customs and Border Protection.
A few comments: Thanks for doing on TH-cam. With the autocaptions, I can follow the conversation. Garmin Connect - I guess I'm old school, I still use the web more than the phone to review workouts and check data. Is the beta also being sent to Androids? All the shots of the new layout I've seen so far are on iPhones.
When does the new garmin connect update get released
I have an idea for a thing. It would like a poll that you can update week to week or show to show, but the spin on it is that it would be called "The Dumpster Fire" top five. It would be a running list of the things that started bad, stayed bad and are still bad, despite everyone around them figuring it out.
Obviously, there's at least a couple to throw on this list, including what you talked about - the Samsung heart rate monitor. Another might be the shimano crank based power meters. I know Ray had lovely things to say about Whoop's "accuracy" early on, and not sure if they have gotten totally out of the dumpster at this point, but would be curious to know.
Anyway, I know it's a bit morbid, maybe..but when companies like that can't fix something they should have fixed a long time ago, hey, give them a shout out...so to speak.
Then maybe they'll fix it.
Just an idea
subscribed.
Thanks!
Supposed no mention of new Coros firmware update from January 15. Some nice new features released in it.
Is the HRV score the same across all Garmin watches? Mines always below 50 and typically around 30. What does that mean? 😜
Des with his copperish mug. We know that's a moscow mule in there 😂
Pinkies out
Yes
Garmin needs to bring back the three circles where you could see all important sports data.
I contemplated for about 2 seconds before subscribing!
Boom!
Regarding Garmin Connect: I'm probably in the boomer minority, but my main use-case for the mobile app is to forward smart notifications, share livetrack, and sync my data. "High level look" of my stuff I can do on my watch. If I want to go to details, I strongly prefer the web interface and a big screen.
Really enjoyed your podcast! Regarding the HRM-Fit HR monitor, I hope you can have women who wear underwire sports bras test the HRM-Fit to see how well it fits & how comfortable it is while exercising. Will the monitor even work?
What about an upper arm armband wearable that gathers everything that a Garmin watch or Oura ring tracks, purely for health and stress and sleep type metrics? IMHO would be better than a ring. In Garmin's case would let me take off my watch when I don't want to wear a watch. And no ring sizing silliness.
i wonder which mic we hear from Ray:) is the big one just a prop? :)
One mic is for the podcast audio and the other is for Ray and Des to hear themselves in real time and not in delay. Two separate audio sources are needed to produce this type of remote video.
My theory is that Ray just wears a lav 24/7 because he’s so comfortable with it. It’s like a cozy blanket.
Regarding Samsung ring potentially requiring a Samsung phone, why is that a problem when Apple requires an iPhone to use their watch?
Apple podcats, Google podcasts please 😊
Google Podcasts will be shut down in April 2024
It's already on Apple podcasts - see description, and Google podcasts is being shut down (Google products, man)
Thank you guys, just noticed that.
Timestamps anyone?
Looking forward to your weekly, or biweekly, or few days a month roundups. If you've read your TH-cam comments over the past ten years then you know I've been like a dog on a bone over this one issue, and I really hope some day both of you will address it.
1. While preloaded with close to 100 activities, Garmin is still primarily a Run/Bike/Swim focused sports smartwatch company, agree? Sure they placate the rest of the sporting world and fitness community, and health wearable community, a gratuitous bone, but their mission is to remain a Run/Bike/Swim watch, or at least it seems so.
2. Do you see Garmin ever offering a subscription based advanced features option where we can host all of the activities and features on a cloud Connect service and move them back and forth from Connect to our watches as needed? And in that same regard, will we ever have the ability to create real custom activities, ideally an unlimited number of them, and host them on Connect and move them to and from the watch as needed?
3. Assuming we will someday have all of the preloaded activities and also custom activities, will we have the option to create custom multi-activity workouts using as many activities as we choose, and have the names of those activities transfer to Connect (and Strava) as their custom name rather than some generic name?
Good to see 🍏 finally getting hit for the lies, cons & price hikes on stolen tech-patents etc
OK, this is just me being anal about this, but Des, the picture quality on your side is fantastic. Ray? That seems a little washed out? Maybe? Again, just me being overly picky. But awesome idea for this. Will definitely watch them when they come out.
This was definitely our first take - sat down with the setups we already had but will certainly be dialing it in with future episodes. Thanks!
I've noticed this too but actually like it! It gives Ray a vibe that works.
@@bjc1219 Yeah, it's something that's been on my to-do list for a few months to figure out. Picture quality/clarity looks good on recording, looks good on the laptop, and then once the file is exported, something is going slightly amiss when it ends up elsewhere (looking overexposed/slightly washed out). Might make it to the top of the list for Friday to sort out. :)
