I have a Polar H10, but I also have some vintage Polar T31 straps with the old Polar FSC2 wristwatch. The old watches only show instant, average and peak heart rates, but they do so reliably. I have the H10 for swimming and a Fitbit Inspire 3 for continuous monitoring out of the pool. I agree the new technology is just too unreliable for the high cost.

I’ve just bought one, but I’m still keeping my 1040. Great devices both of them. If I had known that the 1040 solar has twice the memory of the base edition I would have bought the solar and probably not bothered with the 1050.

Man, try to wear brighter colors next time. Be seen! People in cars see you less than you think, especially when it's rainy.

Serious respect for riding in those conditions, keep up the good work champ

Just to prove your global reach, I've got a double day today, Christmas Eve, but it's going to be 37 degrees today. Not looking forward to it, hopefully the breeze picks up for the run in the evening 😮

Buffalo NY 12 hours a week on the trainer 😂

Fair enough mate, I would have stayed on the sofa eating crisps if the weather was like that 😂

Loved these roads when a student in Cardiff, even in that kind of weather they're great riding!

Wish i had the mindset to ride in weather like this

Hey, Josh! Did you talk about your next year season plans and races already? Curious to know.

Used to love those climbs - rhigos, pen rhys and bwlch...usually in summer though! 😅

Day for the turbo that mate 🫣

Hey Josh! Did you put 2 angle 7 degree spacer over there? Thanks mate❤

I saw how a certain finance director treated a member of the public. A guy called pure audits. A shame. Otherwise seem a professional company.

How many gels can you actually fit in the bento? Trek says 8 and shows clif brand. I use powerbar that is about the size of SiS gels

Relieved to see it wasn't something more serious based on the thumbnail 😅

I have wahoo kickr bike and I fricking love it!! Countless miles and hours.

I just got a Directo XR T from Tredz to replace my old Saris M2.. £430 brand new. What an improvement over the Saris! (all my bikes have PM, so not worried about accuracy) If you were happy with the Directo X, this is quite a deal...

i would suggest getting the wahoo rollr. Just put the TT bike on the rollr. What makes the most sense to me, is that you are set on the saddle, and the back wheel moves - given it the realistic road feel. Compared that to a smart trainer whereby you take out the wheel - your bum moves over the saddle while the bike is stationary.

Turbo trainer doctor could probably have fixed it. My Neo died; he refurbished it for a very reasonable price

Nothing quite like flying down the Bwulch.

Perfect opportunity to get a Wattbike Josh, honestly the best thing I ever bought, no setup, just jump on it. (rebuild/rewire the front end to match your normal TT bike).

i call bs...0 degrees and no gloves...everyone? fk opf

I couldn't find any report on the quality of the water. Is it possible to provide a short assessment?

Thanks for sharing this Josh. It’s so important for people to understand that it’s not all a bed of roses like some videos show. Enjoy the winter and looking forward to seeing you smash it next year 💪💪👍

I wish we could only pay for the features we use. I have the 840 and I have most of the options turned off. You can do this with cars and lots of other things, why not with the cycling computers. My cycling days will probably be over by the time Garmin put a quality screen on one of the smaller lower models.

Actually just read the other comments thanks

How does that bottle cage on the handle bar connect to the bontrager bottle?

How has this been during wet conditions? That’s the game changer for me. The buttons. Has it gotten better?

Your review seems to be the total opposite of other reviews. It seems like you got a bad unit or something. It would be interesting if you called Polar, got a replacement and did a follow up.

Super Thoughts , i will try this also pleaee mention the drills for this minimum kicking regime. I am not sure what happened to me after my Intestine Surgery i cant stop panting? I am only a 10m Swimmer left

Hey. What is your size of this jacket and whats your weight/height?

Hi! Thanks for your video. What would you say is the % of benefits from a physically present coach vs online coach? 100% being life changer. 70% for live, 30-40% for online?

Thanks for the review mate but this is more of an add tbh just like the most Garmin reviews out there. The main question is how it fits on the front out mount as there are reports that the fit can be tricky due to its size. Also, how does it track the gradient? I own Edge Explore and it really struggles with ClimbPro, sometimes it shows negative gradient on a purple or red slope lol, also it's always very late in tracking it, something I'm starting to realise Wahoo does a much better job at. Also, how does it deal with navigation when you go off route? My Garmin sometimes gets confused and wants you to do a U turn even after you return to the course. So I think it would be nice if these KZbin reviews were a bit more hands on experience in the field, rather than just reading the specs out.

Josh, do you do swim technique analysis for non-coached athletes? I have no concept of timing between front and back end...I get round a 3.8km swim in an hour, but its very front end dependent I think

Great tips, thanks Josh

Hi, just wondering what was on the front of your bike underneath the handlebars? looked like there was a boom box or something... or am i just seeing things? :-)

Hi Josh, when you do a video on your races for next year, I would be interested to know how you balance that choice - prize money v costs, need to retain your pro licence etc etc....thanks

Get rid of the background music!

Hello Josh, Are you planning a video to tell all your races this season ? If not do you think you’ll do challenge Roth this year ?

the pro year is now demanding than ever, longer. give your self more off szn till dec.

Shoe doesn't break marathon world record...the guy who run using did

Love the journey mate - your swimming is a thing of beauty!

It has been an absolute pleasure following your journey all year, so one week off from youtube, with normal lifestress it fully understood! Good luck with the 2025 season!

What color is this?

Yeah, I have London marathon in April and I feel that I'm not recovered and always tired still from the previous season.

Busy and positive Josh! In a similar position with commitments and training and wondering when your first race will be next year witha build starting in January?

Love the videos! Just one suggestion to upgrade the videos: would suggest getting a better camera/iPhone. Can't put my finger on it, but you almost look AI generated.

I’m planning on getting the speed concept this year , is there anything in particular I need to know in the quality of the bike

Ok, I was so excited to watch Livestream that I applied for a draw, completely forgot about it and now I got a spot 😅😅😅😅 Now I'm completely freaking out.
