Drusas, in Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?

I have yet to find a smartwatch which reasonably fits my tiny wrist, so there's really no competition.

If you’re able to hold solid foods besides the things like Gatorade/pedialite/ensure fig newtons are pretty calorie dense too.

SHamblingSHapes, in Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?

I don’t care to have anything on my wrist. But I want to start tracking steps, especially over winter, to prompt myself into enough daily activity. So I’m going to try a ~$50 fitness tracker on my wrist and see how that goes. If I can get past the annoyance at having something on my wrist, I may shop around for a full smartwatch, or more likely wait for the next gen or two. I am deeply unimpressed with the size and battery life of the flagship smartwatches right now.

I miss regular old pedometers. My old Fitbit One was awesome. I hate having crap on my wrists these days.

You may want to look at the PineTime smartwatch

dirtySourdough, in People of Lemmy that take more than 5 seconds to start your car and drive, what are you doing?

Telling someone that I’m on my way. Finding music to listen to. Figuring out what my next errand is or checking if I have anymore errands.

My go to is plain white rice with plain chicken thighs if I can stomach meat if not I’ll make it with some chicken broth.

If you’re struggling to eat for more than like a week you probably should bite the bullet and see a doctor. A prolonged lack of appetite can be a sign of some pretty serious stuff.

sturlabragason, in What is good to eat when you have no appetite?

Buttered toast with salt, grapes (possibly frozen), Gatorade.

FReddit, (edited ) in What is good to eat when you have no appetite?

Ive had diabetic ketoacidosis a few times. Once it starts coming on you can’t eat Anything. For a couple days or more.

Then the treatment is ice chips and IV insulin for a few days.

Coming out of it, your stomach is the size of a walnut and the thought of eating makes you want to make you puke.

My roads back to eating:

Broth from ramen cups. Liquid meal replacements. If you have a soy allergy, take a close look at the ingredients. Miso broth.

Drinkable yogurt.

Bland pasta with just olive oil.

Granola bars.

My experience is that I eventually get hungry again.

Best of luck dealing with your situation.

Edit: per others, chicken soup (I can get the broth down) and Pedialyte or Gatorlyte. Getting dehydrated does not help.

Really appreciate this comment, thank you!

If taste isn’t a concern, I’ve gotten by with chlorella and cocoa chia pudding for longer than I care to admit. I don’t mind the taste of chlorella, but most people apparently don’t find it and other seaweed all that appetizing, but it’s a drink so you can just chug it like a beer or something and neutralize the taste with like a splash of lemon juice or water with lemon juice. Won’t fill your stomach all that much, though.

Miso soup (with wakame and maybe tofu and veggies cut down to tiny pieces?) is also a great addition to that.

ReallyKinda, in What is good to eat when you have no appetite?

Hawaiian delight baby food, oyster crackers, broth (better than bouillon and a clove of garlic)

TootSweet, in What is good to eat when you have no appetite?

Instant ramen and crack an egg into the boiling water right at the end and stir. Gives it some protein and makes it a more substantial meal.

cheese_greater, in What is good to eat when you have no appetite?

Not sure if people will scorch this idea but one thing I love when I’m having trouble is scalloped potatoes cut up real small and you just graze it all day. Ginger ale is a nice companion but try to get as low dugar as you can find and use a metal straw and sip very preciously

I know there’s dairy and a bunch of other stuff but it goes down super easy and the trick is to have it in a million pieces so you can really go slow. Hope it helps

Pulptastic, in Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?

I am not a watch guy but I love the data I get from my Garmin so I wear it pretty much 24/7

Casio G-Shock owner here. I prefer a watch to always know the time without checking my phone but I would never use IOT devices, including a smart watch for privacy & security reasons.

mainframegremlin,

Yup, same here. Never really understood the G-Shock thing until I got one. The 5610U is truly one of the best watches hands down, and they’re cheap. I find myself using timers and alarms much more because I may not have my phone at all times (around the house etc). Solar to boot? It really doesnt get much better, they’re fantastic.

shalafi,

fist bump

I wear mine for outdoor stuff and a simpler Casio for a daily driver. Got my wife a matching pink one!

Satisfies my old-school wants and needs, about bulletproof, cheap as hell on eBay, all that.

Happy to see another G-Shock owner! I myself settled down on a 5610U. Its all I need + the very good aftermarket/modding community.

Ps: Just realised that you’re the guy from this comment, the world is small haha.

Supermariofan67, in Is it ok to use acronyms similar to those on an equally or more popular discussion forum?

It disturbs me that we live in a time when the idea of words being copyrighted is one even worth thinking about, and that people would feel that they may have to self-censor their expression out of fear of it.

intensely_human,

Sorry but “self-censor” is a trademark of mine.

aordogvan, in Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?

Tried various smartwatches and the problems always came down to one thing: battery.

Some of the watches batteries last a few days or a week but the screen remains dark and to see time you have to touch the screen our flip your wrist which gets on my nerves.

Now wearing a regular watch and each time I look at the time I’m in awe of the miracle of seeing the time displayed clearly.

When they come up with a watch that can keep the screen lit for at least a week without recharge I’ll reconsider…

Sea_pop,

I have a withings scan watch. Battery life is 25+ days. My original one, which hubby now wears, has a battery life of over 30 days but doesn’t record spo2. Both are water resistant up to 5 ATM, sapphire glass face and an analog watch face with a small, touch less, digital display. I will never not have a hybrid watch again.

shalafi,

Wife wanted me to wear my Samsung to our wedding yesterday. Yeah. It was dead after taking it to the camp where we had a cabin. One day, didn’t even wear it and it was dead.

And of course it takes a special charger.

antizero99,

One word, garmin. Garmin has its own special charger but it’s designed for ruggedneas and there are several adapters on the market that let you charge it with usbc. My 7x goes for 3+weeks with spo2 turned on and does everything else a normal smartwatch does like notifications, quick replies, music, etc.

Psychodelic,

I went with a hybrid watch since it doesn’t need a new battery for months

antizero99,

You should look at garmin. My 7x goes for weeks with all data collection on and the screen is clear enough to see without the back light when there is enough ambient light.

Unless I am recording tons of workouts, I don’t have to charge the battery but every few weeks. I sometimes plug it in when I take a shower so I don’t have to worry about it.
