Interesting as always Ralph. I enjoy your videos. I'll have to give a sweat loss test a try this summer. Keep up the good work and keep on running.

Thanks, Keith, for the positive feedback. I’d like to do more tests this summer under various conditions to see how the results vary. Hopefully I’ll learn something useful!

Thank you so much I bought a Fenix 6s And noticed the sweat rate How did your long running monitor go over the months… Did the garmin get better over time?? Or did you continue using your own methods Thank you greatly appreciated your time JamesSwinnerton

The Fenix series of watches look awesome! I may upgrade from my Forerunner 245 someday. :-) I have not done any additional sweat rate testing, other than what I did to make this video.

I don’t have any data regarding the Garmin estimation, but let’s not forget that scales are not that precise. I can stand on the scale twice in a row and see different values, sometimes 200-300 grams. And you loose some weight not only through sweat, but respiration as well (CO2).

My scale seems consistent when making two in a row readings, however, it only reads to the nearest 0.1 pounds, which is about 45 grams. So my numbers could be off by that amount. Thanks for the comment.
