50 minutes in the pool netted me about 2,800 "steps", which is almost exactly half the ratio of steps per minute as I got yesterday while walking. It makes sense; I'm a somewhat fast walker and a pretty slow swimmer.
The watch is pretty great for its other uses. I appreciate how all the dumb little notifications my phone gets throughout the day show up on it and I can dismiss them with the press of a button. It doesn't make them disappear from the phone, but they can all be dismissed as a batch later on. I didn't do the best job putting on the screen protector, but there are five more in the package I ordered.
I'm pretty sure I've found the best spot for my phone to work as a dashcam. It works great in the lower left corner of the windshield and the videos are amazing. It was sunny out today when I drove home from the grocery store, and everything looked gorgeous. It's now sitting horizontally, too, which helps a lot. Here's the latest shot of the billboard which I've chosen as the test card.
Do you take your phone with you and leave the dashboard cam in the car still or have you abandoned the dashboard cam altogether?
Sorry - too many questions but I do love a gadget! *g*
I've taken the dashboard cam down since the phone does a much better job. Another advantage of the phone is that I can review the video right on it or make a vine, send it to Google Drive to get a good screenshot on the computer, etc. You can watch the videos on the dashcam but it was mounted in a spot where I couldn't see much of the screen, and it connects to its mount with a long screw. You can pop the memory card out of the dashcam, put it in the adapter, put the adapter in the card reader, hook up the card reader, and finally see it on the PC. A bit of a pain. But then if you want to make a vine? The video's not on the phone yet. The time I made the vine of myself waving at the camera, I actually pointed the phone at my laptop screen.
Making long videos on the phone is a real battery killer, but my case can recharge my phone completely. Been using it a lot this week. I need to pick up a charger that connects to the cigarette lighter to see if it can keep up.
