MonDAILIES are cold-hearted. (Read 36 times)

    Yes. I don't need the watch for anything besides running. I don't wear it 24/7 or want email or music on it. I don't want the poorly-functioning HR function either. I don't even program workouts except ones with the basic Interval function from my 220. Just a GPS watch. Should be like $100.

     

     

    You might have been able to get away with the 35 for $169. The main thing that's missing for me is the ability to download custom workouts.

    But too late now.

      Are you like LRB with super cold fingers/hands? I've got some hand warmers I could send your way Wink My kids used them when they were skiing/snowboarding this weekend in sub-zero temps, lord have mercy.

       

      Absolutely!   If it's cold enough for a shirt, it's cold enough for gloves.  If it's cold enough for a shirt and an outer layer, that means two pairs of gloves.  This morning, I had on two pair of gloves and a pair of convertible mittens.  I should have opted for my windproof snowmobile mittens, instead of the convertibles.  I have many pairs of gloves, and am not afraid to wear them all.

          Not sure if I mentioned Mr. Docket PRd in Houston AGAIN.  2:08:XX.  he is like let's go back and I'm like nope.  How can a race be so good for him and so bad to me?

                  The same thing happens when we go car shopping. I want the base model but with a slightly more powerful engine and good quality tires, you know, the things that matter. Touch screen for music? fancy interior? blind spot monitoring? No no no.

                   

                  I miss my leather seats that warmed up in my jeep.

                    Some of this stuff is pretty good. I never want to drive a car without a backup camera and sensors again. My wife's car has blind spot monitoring, which I'm envious of, along with her push-button start.

                      But that's just the thing, I want some of the features and you want other ones...I don't want to pay for what I don't want

                            Yeap, pretty much.  Or maybe just allergic to Houston?  We shall find out.

                              Onemile apparently does not get cold fingers, only cold palms.

                                My car has what I call the "texting function."  It keeps my vehicle between the lines, and keeps me from hitting the car in front of me.
