Riding with the Apple Watch

4 March 2017, 04:53 UTC

I ride with my Apple Watch, but my wrist guards usually cover the watch and just as a scratching precaution i generally wear it that way. I was going without any protective gear for a long time. and even no shoes often.

But, Now, I have had a few incidents back to back so i am wearing a few things to make sure i don't seriously hurt myself any more :)

Now i got the MIPS to

I cut a hole in the wrist guard for the Apple watch display.

You can't switch from extreme to elevated without being off board. With the buddy app it's nice to get tapped at 50% battery or when wheelslip occurs. It's nice to get tapped if you break your speed records as well.

@darthj0n you can switch during ride on v1. You just need to be below a certain speed (don't remember how much).

@FutureBoy it appears you have your watch upside down

@Solaranlage orly? Learned something new.

@darthj0n Yep, he's right. Crown button should be on the top-right so you can easily spin it with your right hand.

@thegreck It's an option setting to have a crown on the left. I like it because then speaker and microphone closer to my mouth / ear when I lift the watch on a call cruising on my onewheel. 😜

Any thoughts on series 1 vs series 2 if I am only really getting one for the OW at this point?
Does the GPS in series 2 do us any good with OWB?
Is the added 1mm thinkness of the series 2 noticable?
Thanks

@wr420 I have a feeling that OW buddy got the smack down from Future Motion just like the knock off onewheel got the smack down at CES this year. Just a thought as to why it's not on the App Store right now.

@FutureBoy it'd be nice to know for sure what the deal is.

I have the app, I was just wondering about the watches. And on the app, i'm praying the reason that it's not in the app store and no word from @SeeTheInvisible is that they bought it from him and are branding it for the +.
@SeeTheInvisible ???

If that's the case, he/she probably had to sign a non disclosure form, hence the silence for the last month.

@wr420 I sure hope they bought it from him or at least hired him for this build, since it looks like a lot of his features are going to appear in the new app.

@braswell I hope so too it's a good app. I didn't mind paying money for it.

Right? That would be messed up if they just ripped off his ideas and took him to court lol

It's possible they contracted him. However when I spoke to FM about their app development I was told it's done in house. Then again they night not know what I was talking about.

@FutureBoy You can actually have a conversation on the apple watch while rolling along on the OW? I have a hard time conversing with it in anything but a quiet room.

@dcosmos I've done it a few times, works fine - going slow of course.

@FutureBoy I like the AirPods for calls while on the onewheel. I took a call while cruising yesterday during the meetup and asked about sound quality. The response: "It just sounds like you're on a call outside."

Just want to share how Apple Watch compatible with Triple-8 wrist guards.
Doesn't lose connection with my skin and works well over side mesh.
