• I'd guess it's to fuck with Garmin et al in the activity tracker space

  • My brother is still convinced I wasted my money on a 735XT and would be better off with an Apple Watch, so there’s clearly a market for it among the Apple crowd.

    DC Rainmaker has written about this - the Apple watches will tell you that they've acquired sensors (HR, GPS) instantly. The reality is that they have not. You run/cycle/pogo-stick off, believing that the watch is recording what you are doing, therefore.

    Now of course the watch will record what you are doing - but it'll miss the start of whatever your activity is, for a random period of time, and you can't avoid it doing this unless you wait for a period of time that you can't check, before you set off.
