Re: 1byone Wellness App For Mac

In my testing, the update across all three platforms is less than a minute. It seems to happen near-instantly (couple of seconds) between 1byone and Fitbit, and then appears to take slightly longer for the update to show up on Zwift, seemingly about 30-60 seconds.
I use Apple TV for Zwift the vast majority of the time, but also just for watching YouTube/Netflix/etc on the trainer. The Apple TV remote sucks though. This $8 case fixes that, it's a silicone strap that makes it easy to grab, but also has a strap to easily place on the edge of your handlebars. Boom! Note: Not compatible with 2021 Apple TV Edition.
Here's the thing, some people like front wheel blocks, some don't. I'm one of the ones that do. I like my front wheel to stay put and not aimlessly wiggle around. For $8, this solves that problem. Note some trainers do come with them. Also note, I use a riser block with *every* trainer.
I've got three of these $12 fans floating around the DCR Cave, and I frequently use them on rides. They work just fine. Sure, they're not as powerful as a Wahoo Headwind, but I could literally buy 20 of them for the same price.
This desk is both a knock-off of the original KICKR Desk, but yet also better than it. First, it's got wheel locks (so the darn thing stays put), and second, it has two water bottle holders (also useful for putting other things like remotes). I've been using it as my main trainer desk for a long time now and love it. Cheaper is better apparently. Note: Branding varies by country, exact same desk.
This is by far the best value in trainer desks, at only $59, but with most of the features of the higher end features. It's got multi-tier tablet slots, water bottle holders, non-stick surface, adjustable height and more. I'm loving it!
One of the most popular trainer fans out there, rivaling the Wahoo Headwind fan in strength but at a fraction of the price. It doesn't have smartphone/ANT+/Bluetooth integration, but it does have secondary outlets. I've been using it, and a similiar European version lately with great success (exact EU variant I use is automatically linked at left).
So, most people weigh themselves in bathrooms without clothes on. However, most people ride bikes wearing a few kg of kit, shoes and a helmet.
Honest question. Does zwift assume your weight is with or without the kit/shoes/helmet?
Hi Ray. Great article as always! I have a Polar Balance scale but am not really using any other Polar devices any more so it is effectively just a dumb scale now. Do you know of a way to sync the Polar Balance with Zwift?
It has been a while now but I recall when I first got the withings scale and both Zwift and Strava appeared to be updating perfectly. But the honest question was I had no idea whether it was because of the direct links to healthmate and/or because I had stuff interconnected through Garmin connect, etc.
Regarding the hydration. My scale gives one, and it seems to track with my recollection of how much I water I drank the day before. What is dramatically impacted is the hydration number to fat %. I noticed a trend that on Saturdays and Tuesdays my fat weight went up from the day before. Those were also the days that my hydration numbers went down.
As above, did you just give permission for weight, or all three (profile, friends and weight). I has same as you with just weight, but when I gaver permission for all three then it worked straight away,
Could be extended to a smart bike having a scale built in to track weight to sync with zwift but also allow feedback during exercise to remind Simone if how much to drink as it could sense weight loss during a ride
I already own a Garmin Index scale. Yesterday, I set it up so that when I weigh myself, my metrics go from Garmin to FitnessSyncer to FitBit to Zwift automatically. It actually works (so far)! But JFC, what a cluster!
Since there is a standard Bluetooth Profile and Service, which we hope most of these scales are using, it should be simple for Zwift to sync to them via BLE to get your most recent weight. But that does assume you have the scale in your pain cave.
