Been using the Lavazza Super Crema for 5 years or so. For a daily driver, we’ve found it to be the best.

Now it feels boring, and we’re exploring something else to try. Something tasty with different flavor profile. Maybe fruity? Floral?

Let me know if you have any favorites that might be worth trying. We have the Delonghi Magnifica Plus.

It feels like any time I turn off my Bluetooth, I have to follow multiple steps to connect it again to my phone. Turn on Bluetooth, make sure it’s paired with watch, go into watch settings and make sure it’s connected, and finally go into the connect app and sync it. The last step is a must, checking BT phone and watch settings sometimes not required.

Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong that when I turn on Bluetooth, it should automatically connect to the watch and that be it?

Recently bought this TV during a sale since our previous one crapped out. It’s in our master bedroom and we only watch at night.

This TCL QM5K is extremely bright, and I want to make it the opposite, low dim. It’s not as simple as just turning the brightness level down.

The last TV we had, it had some type of nighttime mode or something. Very low dim.

Any settings or ideas to help me out?

Every time I try updating topo maps via garmin express, it says I don’t have enough memory or storage. But when I do it from the watch itself, it works. However, it’s taken 8 hours doing it this way.

Any reason why this is and a solution?

Looking for some thoughts based on observations of my CPAP data in Oscar. Not sure if a Daily view is better to analyze than Overview view? Let me know and I can paste the images for that.

Mask: F&P Nova Micro. I do not use a chin strap or mouth tape, and I'm not sure if my mouth is opening at all during my sleep.

I’d like to start rucking. Most of my rucking will be around the neighborhood on long walks, not hiking through mountains or anything serious - at least to begin.

Should I go with a weight plate carrier? An actual backpack like a 20L Rucker 5.0? What product do I consider?

I don’t think I want a vest. Living in Florida, having the chest open is appealing. Plus the other physical benefits to the body of a backpack over a vest. But, maybe some opinions from this group will change that.

I have the fenix 8 solar. Only a week in. Double tapping the top left button (backlight button) engages the flashlight feature. From there, you can select your desired level of brightness.

My question, how do I change the brightness intensity once my flashlight settings disappear after turning it on?

There’s only like a 3 second window to select your brightness level or red light before it disappears. It’s annoying to constantly turn it off and back on again to change the brightness level.

Fenix 8 Solar 47mm titanium comes on Monday. First time user of the Fenix line, coming from Venu 2. Picked MIP since I live in a year round sunny state and bc the AMOLED, while nice vibrant colors, is too bright for me - even when it’s at its lowest brightness setting. Extended battery life is a nice perk as well.

Tips, tricks, things I should know?

Hoping I made a good decision!

Is there a garmin watch that operates similar to an Apple Watch when it comes to strength training? I’m talking about how Apple counts your reps, sets, and rest automatically once you start the activity. Whereas, compared to garmin, you have to click the button to start a new set each time.

Currently rocking the Venu 2. I’m ready for an upgrade after 3 years - it lacks many key features the new version and other models have, eg HRV, training readiness, etc.

My primary use cases other than walks are strength training, HIIT, rowing. I like the watch for capturing data for these activities, plus general health tracking. I also kayak sometimes, if the maps are at all helpful when on the water when I’m navigating rivers, that’s nice. Is this a good use case for the GPS on the watches?

I love the way the fenix, epix and enduro look. But there are manyyyy features I prob would never use.

Any thoughts on these models or buying advice?

Also, what are the pros/cons or things to remember when comparing AMOLED vs MIP screens?
