Discovery Vitality in 2016

[nadeem_k]

Does anyone have the tomtom spark and is it good? I am concerned about its fitness tracking accuracy

 

[StrontiumDog]

Weird, i only scored 300 of my 550 point target last week but yet my target went up to 600 :/

Anyone know which Discovery partners sync activities such as squash and treadmill with HR data?

 

[abudabi]

I must be dof. I've googled and googled and cannot see how to link wahoo fitness to mapmyfitness.

How'd you do it?

 

[abudabi]

@napalm

I'm pretty sure you can upload any heartrate data, i.e. not dependant on the type of exercise.

Funny

I figured it out by just tinkering around in the app, seemed fairly obvious.

What happens if your return a healthy gear item. Do they take the cash back they paid back?

 

[abudabi]

Yeah.. I was going all over the website.. Not thinking to use the app. And i never "share" stuff so when i did go to the app i was looking fpr "account" or "sync" or "export".


How long does it take to fo across from mmf to vitality? Mine's not synced since i set it up last night. My fitbit and the wife's jawbone is quickquick.

If i use two devices, say an Apple Watch and a Fitbit Charge HR. Which one takes priority if they are both linked to my Vitality?

Surely on the day in question, whichever scores higher would count? You'd have to ask Discovery to find out inner workings if that's where you are going with this , or do your own experiments.

Been experimenting the past week. I seem to have confused them a bit as last weeks goal is "pending" I did notice that both devices are pretty much spot on and only differ by a few steps.

"Pending" is no indication of anything really, their system is confused at the best of times

It might depend on when you return it. Are you trying to game the system?

 

[nadeem_k]

Nope. Returned a garmin watch. Found a better alternative

for me, mapmyfitness wasnt always a good sync for points. many times it never synced to vitality.

Garmin Connect sync is very reliable, syncs every 5 minutes with Vitality. So quick.
Runkeeper fairly reliable as well, syncs every hour or so with Vitality. So fairly quick.
Mapmyfitness is a hit and miss at best of times.
Strava....not sure, I only added it recently.

Let us know then how it goes with their cash back reversal

 

[nadeem_k]

But I looked online and can't seem to see what the policy is. If it's a reversal then I will be obligated to buy from sportsman's otherwise I will get it from any store... has anyone had an experience with returning a healthy gear item?

I get what you saying but it doesn't make sense

1. How much did you spend on the item and on what date?
2. Did they pay you the cash back already?
3. What date did you return it?
4. Why not just buy the second item from Sportsmans regardless?

 

[nadeem_k]

The main reason is sportsman's range isn't as good and the support is average. They not as knowledgeable about the devices so if I have an issue I'm not confident that they will be able to help...
