£520… same price as a massage pad. Colour me tempted

I was like well compared to the size/price of my watch. . .

I got my Fenix 7 for £350. Maybe I could strap it to his dock??

good point! And I don’t even wear my watch… anyone want to buy an Apple Watch?

So how do you track both your horse and your exercise at the same time?

ATM I appreciate that he adds to my step count, I’m not sure I want him only earning his own …

Ester when I saw the thread title, I thought surely she doesn’t mean an *actual* Garmin
How wrong I was

This is why it’s always worth opening and checking

 

[AShetlandBitMeOnce]

How does it measure all of that from the tail area I wonder... off to Google

I initially wondered would it be something like Equilab or something but no… very much Garmin
The idea of the metrics etc is great but I can’t help but think it would be v annoying for the horse!

If you have a watch will it send and alert if you and pony are separated? I really want something that does this, and gps tracking.

 

[ester]

I think reading it might be relying on phone/watch for the GPS side of things not sure there is one in the sensor.

350km on the bike this week an my Garmin told me my performance today was 2 below base. Do you think its sadistic streak extends to the pony version? "You've only trotted 2 miles today. You performance is hardly worth mentioning...."

mine likes to tell me I need a 45h recovery time after the 8 mile bike commute. . .

Mine has been telling me that I am in my prime in my training readiness when I feel like death (aka tired/not slept well and even when my HRV was low which is very unusual) lately. Dont know if its a new bug ... I have the epix pro gen 2
