Hey everyone,
I'm a long distance runner and I use an Apple Watch Ultra for tracking my runs. I'm looking at getting a screenless tracker like the Fitbit Air as a secondary device when my AWU is charging, when I'm sleeping, or when I just want to wear my automatic watch.
I'm obsessed with tracking everything and I need all the data to merge seamlessly into Apple Health. The idea in my head is let's say I walk 2k steps with my AWU and then switch to the Fitbit and walk 4k more, it will show 6k total steps in Apple Health, along with heart rate and sleep data.
If anyone has actually tried running a dual setup like this using third-party sync apps:
1.Does it actually complete your Apple Watch experience, or is it frustrating? Was the day-to-day experience smooth and valuable, or did you constantly fight sync delays, duplicate steps, and broken graphs?
2.Which sync app worked best for you to keep the background syncing as automatic and painless as possible?

Would love to hear from your experiences before deciding myself. Thanks!

Hey guys, I’m moving to the US soon from a 220v country, so I have to leave my Mazzer Philos behind. I’m buying a new 110v Linea Mini R once I land and want to pair it with a solid electric single-dose grinder around the $2k mark. Here are my details for context:

1. Location: Moving to the US.
2. Experience: Seasoned home barista, very comfortable dialing in high-end gear.
3. Drink types: Mostly medium roast espresso and milk drinks, but I really want to use this move to experiment with more unusual or adventurous light/medium coffees available in the US.
4. Frequency/Space: Usually 2-4 drinks a day, sometimes back-to-back when hosting. No strict counter space limitations.

Candidates I'm looking at:

• Zerno Z1 / Z2: I love the design and engineering, but a 2+ month wait time(for the Z2) right after moving into a new place sounds miserable.
• Option-O Lagom P80: Looks incredible on paper with the 80mm Mizen blind burrs, but I’ve never used Option-O gear before.

I want something that feels like a genuine upgrade or a distinct step up from the Philos in terms of either cup quality or workflow. Would the P80/Z1 feel like a true step up? And are there any other max $2k heavy hitters I should absolutely look into instead? Thanks!

I’m planning to buy a new Linea Mini R once I land and want to pair it with a solid grinder with maximum $2,000 mark. I mostly drink medium roast espresso and milk drinks, but options were pretty limited in my home country, so I really want to use this move to experiment with more unusual or adventurous coffees.
