[QUOTE="Celsus, post: 1740379, member: 185674"] Wow [USER=374531]@Scott-C[/USER] , so you first now tell me that you are clueless about smartwatches [U]after[/U] I followed your advice and have spent hundreds of hard-earned cash on an expensive smartwatch?! :D Naah, just kidding, I also read with interest the many good links and references that you referred to. And like you, really liked the multi-purpose look of the Fossil watch. I got it with the dark-smoke color and blackish rim also to match. Suits well for both pleasure and work. And thanks again for the link to the Garmin watch software bundles. You are just a rich source of valuable information! Regarding bluecon, then yes. Its a bit unfortunate that it is not waterproof, as I also went for the nightwatch model, so you can replace the battery every two weeks. The waterproof disposable model is just way too expensive especially as it only runs for two weeks and battery is dead. To make it waterproof I 'on the day' throw it inside a plastic bag made for purpose for my food vacuum machine (I cook often sous-vide). Sealing the bag 100% tight with no problem at all. And the blucon I have sitting op top of the libre disc with the help of an armband from that German company, so sits very solid and firm. Do exactly the same btw with my Abbott Libre Reader into the vacuum bag, as you can still press the button on it through the plastic coating to launch a bg read. And I can then have that with me inside my wetsuit. (and it floats too! :)) Though age is taking its toll, don't hold yourself back from getting out there and shredding some waves! Maybe no longer in the 470 or the Laser. But still great fun in hobie cats and alike. Most of my time at sea I am alone with a surfboard or a windsurfer, so best to have the bg gear with me, as its a longer paddle/journey to go all way back in again and out again.
