How blessed are those who can give themselves the gift of running and indeed every run is a blessing.

This techie πŸ¦• has finally succeeded in setting up my first and probably only sports watch.Cannot believe what I had on my old iPhone 4 is on my wrist at a touch and of course much,much more.If I wished anything that is now on my new Xr iPhone and indeed more could be available on my wrist.

Oh WOW.πŸ’₯

Got all the gear and no idea.πŸ™ˆπŸ€£

No pressure just pleasure.Must get playlists sorted with the free 3 month trial.How cool is lifting your wrist asking for a tune from your playlist and hey ho it plays.Talk about the magic forum well this is techie πŸ¦• magic.

Have not tried out the ECG facility yet, plenty time perhaps for that, πŸ™ˆπŸ€£.

Victor Meldrew would say I don’t believe it,I say you better wake up mate and smell the coffee.πŸ‘ŠπŸ’₯

Continuous improvement is where it is at, for me anyway, and if you are standing still your going backwards.

Seriously and humbly everyone has there needs and what contents them in their joy of running,I just cannot contain my enthusiasm now and feel so blessed just to be able to pursue this passion.

As Floss says, There will come a day I will not run, Today is not that day.

Keep on keeping on, onwards and upwards,

With sincere best wishes to all on the magic forum.

Brilliant Bob! πŸ‘πŸ˜ Enjoy. I'm not an apple fan but my very own Scotsman is. He loves his.

They are pretty intuitive. But yes, amazing all the tech and support we have now! Seems like not long back the radio was all the rage now we don't even need those 🀣🀣

Thanks! It must be my age showing. Back in the 70s, I’d watch cartoons where Dick Tracy talked into his watch. I think it was a TV too, but I don’t really remember.

I have a series 4 too. I love it!

Great C3PO.I know where to come to when I get any gremlins.πŸ‘πŸ‘

Thanks, must look him up.I spent most of the seventies in the Gulf, very little TV.πŸ˜‚

Yes and that is what we are precisely doing now.When this teckie πŸ¦• gets it fully set up.

Standing still will never be an option! And don't worry too much about tech stuff, my 'go-to' run tracker and music provider is still my trusted iphone 6 with no intention of changing or upgrading. Happy running!

πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘.

This made me laugh mrrun.

I was back using my hand held iPhone 4 today with my plug pin in ear buds πŸ€”, wires trailing , Strava activated and timer.

Tomorrow the same, but timer set for half km target.πŸ˜±πŸ‘€πŸ’ͺπŸ™ˆπŸ€£

Way to go.πŸ‘ŠπŸ’₯πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸŒŸπŸ‘πŸ‘
