Two structural deadlines — the FCC confidentiality window and the UK trademark pre-publication — both close before July 28. Garmin's pattern puts July 15 and 22 as the primary targets. Here is the case. #Garmin #GarminCirqa #Wearables #SportsWearables

Strava paywalled Year in Sport in December. Then priced third-party tools out of the API in June. Negative Split is a free Chrome extension that computes rTSS, GAP, Fitness/Fatigue/Form and a full Year-in-Sport recap locally in your browser.

Open SuuntoPlus is three months old. More than 40 community-built apps are now in the store, with new ones landing roughly every week. Your Race 2 or Vertical 2 keeps gaining functionality through apps, not firmware. Concept2 rowing sync, parkrun barcodes, Garmin Varia radar, live ventilation from a Tymewear strap.

Google got in touch about my Fitbit Air accuracy tests. Two bugs in the Air's TCX export, both now fixed. One made the sampling look worse than it really was. The other mixed in heart rate from other devices. I take their word on both, bar one point.
