Someone mentioned to me that its in the App Store for download so it made me wonder if even though apple was removing it, if those of us that wanted it could just download it again
Sometimes it powers off (or I turn it off) and it sounds fine. No noticeable sounds. Others it sounds like this. This loud ticking sound. I cant tell if maybe it’s coming from the e shifter? But it doesn’t sound good to me.
What do you think? Is this a sound I should ignore and not a big deal?
I live on the third floor so carrying it up and down doesn’t seem fun. We don’t have a storage room or a place to put my e-bike. A thought popped into my head about locking it up at the parking stall I park it. There’s this giant metal pillar where my car is parked. Would that be crazy?
I live in a gated apartment complex in a decent neighborhood but ya never know
Not sure if it’s relevant: but I have anti theft features on my bike. It’s a Segway myon. Trackers. Alerts. Loud alarm. Wheel locks up and people can’t ride it without a passcode
It doesn’t matter what day it is. I think the entire time I’ve had this app the lowest it’s ever gotten was 38%. I don’t have my Garmin anymore, but when I did, it would routinely say my body battery was at like 5% when I got home and that made total sense.
I don’t understand how the energy bank works. Maybe I just don’t get it? It doesn’t seem to decrease a longer than I’m awake. If I sat on the couch for a few hours, it doesn’t go down at all. And that doesn’t make any sense to me because I’m still awake and that right there should make it go down at least somewhat.
I’m thinking about commuting to my job on my new ebike (should be getting this week) i work 11 miles away and i work night shift at 10pm. Curious if anybody else commutes at night?
I had a garmin 970 until fairly recently. Went from that and an android phone to a iPhone and Apple Watch. I kinda missed being in the garmin ecosystem (I also have the garmin scale and blood pressure monitor) and I felt the calorie burn on Apple Watch was pretty high for the whole day so I was pretty excited when the cirqa came out and have a lower calorie burn that felt more grounded.
When I took it out of the box and put it on my wrist, yeah. It’s actually even bigger than I assumed it would be in person. The sensor sits just as high as my Apple Watch Ultra and idk? I thought the pictures here might just be close ups and making it look bigger than it is, but it’s definitely sizable in person.
On the other hand, it’s incredibly light and comfy to wear. If I didn’t look at my wrist, I wouldn’t really even realize I was wearing it. Although when I wear my work jacket, it has gotten stuck on my sleeve. So…feels light. But still technically a bit big.
Numbers wise it surprised me. I remember my 970 being very conservative with calorie burn compared. But my cirqa total daily burn is just as high as my Apple Watch. Kinda surprised me.
It’s been a bit buggy. I set an alarm and deleted it but the cirqa must have not gotten the memo because it still buzzed at that time. I show no alarms active. So assuming that’s a bug.
It syncs really fast. Faster than my 970 did. I also like the inclusion of usb c on the end. My 970 had usb A.
It didn’t auto detect my workouts. The screen on my phone is also laughably blank when I took it to the gym. No other stats while working out besides heart rate? Even the cheapest Apple Watch from 2015 has stats and you don’t have to pay extra for some subscription crap. Seems a bit greedy to me. But oh well. I knew what I was getting into.
It also didn’t do too well with sleep tracking, but i guess thats a garmin thing. I slept for 6 hours, woke up for a bit then went back to sleep for 4 hours. Garmin connect overwrote my 6 hour sleep and made it look like I JUST slept 4 hours whereas my Apple Watch properly tracked both times i was asleep and added it together
I’m wearing both Apple Watch and cirqa on the same arm just to kinda compare numbers. Not totally sure if I’ll keep wearing it. Kinda up in the air at this point. Just a fun little test
I really liked the total daily energy burn on the Garmin when I had it. Now I’m back to Apple Watch for other reasons, but the Apple Watch is calorie burn has me like 400 cal higher for the whole day. I’m really curious how the Fitbit calorie burn would compare to Garmin if anybody knows?
So my stats are 5'8 male at 259 Ibs. I have a job as a night shift security officer signing people in and out. I don't do a lot physically at work. I might sign in or out 15 people a night I have to get up, walk to their truck and around it getting all the numbers for paperwork and then back to the office. If I don't do any additional exercise I get about 5,000 steps a day.
I get up and a trucker might be a 1 minute interaction. Then I'm back down. Most of the night I'm sitting down at my desk. I go out once to do inventory but I drive a truck for that. When I get off, I go home and lay down, sleep for 6 hours and wake up and wait for my wife to get home and have dinner and then go back to work later that night.
My Apple Watch said I got 5,245 steps last night and burned 3100 calories. Seems a bit high if I'm to be honest.
Can someone help me guesstimate what my actual calorie burn might be closer to? Just ballpark it

I’ve worn my Apple Watch for a few weeks and used bevel and my body battery never gets mellow 30 most of the time. Even when I’m dead tired. Even when I’ve had days where I got 3 hours of sleep.
Yesterday I got terrible sleep, went to work at night and came home dead tired. My body battery is super high. Why is that? With my garmin I would get home and it would be super low and I was like “yeah that makes sense”. But bevel thinks I have so much energy
I don’t get it. Why does it do this
This was yesterday the 17th. Ended the day with 3173 on Apple fitness but for some reason bevel says 3300? Why the difference?
Did this come in some update? I click it and I can’t edit it at all. Change portions. Anything. Makes logging harder than it should be
It feels like parked car should have a shortcut like how I have a pin for home and work and stuff like that
I’ve been curious about how my calories burned on Apple Watch compare with what i must ACTUALLY burn. The only way to test that, is to track my calories and weight everyday for a long period of time and see where it trends. I’m thinking in just going for the standard 3500 calories 1 pound calculation and compare a projected weight loss vs what I ACTUALLY lost. Is this the proper way of doing this little test on myself ya think? Am i missing anything?
I'm highly doubtful. I would think at least 100 per wing if not more

Just for a reference i’m a 5 foot eight guy that weighs 260 pounds. I don’t work a really hard job. I work overnight security and I might have maybe an hour of actual work out of my eight hour shift. I did go walking quite a bit yesterday, but other than that, I sat down quite a bit as well. Just a dedicated 40 minute walk but overall a chill day.
To see it say that I burned 3400 cal? TDEE calculators say that sedentary is about 2400 for my body and light activity would be about 2800. I know we aren’t supposed to trust trackers obviously but this just seemed wildly off, right? Just curious what other people think
Thankfully, I’m not eating according to these calories lol I have my Lose It! app set to give me a calorie budget. That’s consistent with just light activity.

My ultra just does so much more stuff that I actually care about. Apple wallet alone for my evil dead movie tickets is awesome. Really wish walkie talkie was staying. Love using that with the wife
