OK, what is this now?

 

MTA: I can't think of anything I need that I don't get from my 220.

Wifi upload

 

We It was discussed a couple, few times in the dailies, but onemile is correct, it's not a "must-have" over the 620. Whereas the 620 was leaps and bounds better than my 410, which was okay in its own right.

I was kidding. Although it's the first feature I hear I would like to have that my 620 doesn't have, it's not worth the upgrade dollars. I have my 620's light on for every alert and button press which is ok. This wrist turn would be perfect, though, and perfect is an upgrade from ok.

With the price of the 630 on sale, that I didn't buy, I purchased an Android phone to replace my Windows phone. Now THAT is going to be useful for the same amount of $. Bought a Moto G4 plus, that should come in by UPS tomorrow.

Well I didn't miss it till just now when I found out it existed.

lol

I upload the same as you, BT. 

 

All true.

 

I run from multiple places and since I log my run IMMEDIATELY, it's bluetooth for me.

If I run by where I work (like I did last night) or at the indoor track, I just wait til I get home and it uploads the second I walk in the door, even if my watch has gone to sleep.  Only if I am not going to be home for a day or more, then I do the BT

 

Wifi upload requires zero messing around. As soon as I press save on my workout, it is uploaded automatically and I have to do nothing. When I want to upload via bluetooth, I have to enable bluetooth on my phone, open the connect app, and hope that it recognizes that it's connected and uploads.  If it doesn't, I have to turn bluetooth off/on a bunch of times to try to get it to see my watch. It's nice to have when travelling but I don't want to have to do that every day to upload my workout.

Better for me for it to operate with my phone. I have heard people complaining about the bluetooth being finicky, but it's been working OK for me. After my run, I get my phone which I'd do anyway, open the app, hit save on my watch, and boom, it syncs. Once in a while some glitchy stuff happens, but not often enough for it to be a problem. I always stretch 10-15 min post-run anyway, so during that time I use my phone as a timer for my stretching, sync with GC which immediately goes to RA, update the workout in the RA log, and post about it in the dailies.

The wifi upload is an interesting option.

I have the Garmin Vivoactive which connects thru the app on my phone with GC.  If the phone is near me when I'm done with my run I'll usually get a "your activity is ready to view" message within 15 or 30 seconds.

The text and e-mail notifications is a nice plus, but what I really like about this watch is that I wear it all the time, and only need to charge it once a week.  (That's with about 4 hours of activity time).  The other thing I really like is that it take about 10 seconds to get a satellite connection.

The one thing I don't like is a couple of times after I've started a run the watch will reset.  Not sure why it does that - fortunately it's never been during a race.

6.1 and it looks like the last vestige of my cold is gone.
