<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Omega calibre 1611 Chrono-Quartz was the world’s first digital/ analogue chronograph. It was invented by Omega SA. The watch launched at the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games and was Omega's flagship chronograph at that time.</span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 27.2000007629395px;">The issue seems to be "connected" to a rubber-mounted screen connector, which developes a faulty connection over time, and which may be exacerbated by heat.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 27.2000007629395px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 27.2000007629395px;">Over the past weeks I have experienced excessive screen tearing, multiple times a day. Ten minutes using a thin cardboard shim and a dab of silicone grease for the seal and: 24 hours - and counting- of uninterupted clear screen. Cut the shim so the small brass nub is not covered, and use a glue stick to fix the shim.</span></span><br />

This watchface uses natural language, which I find gives me a clearer feeling of time, while differentiating the Pebble from all other watches. From the elegance of the uncluttered watchface, a quick flick of the wrist reveals precise time and date information, while the Bluetooth monitoring subtly warns of connection loss (including BT-LE). Please consider downloading from the Pebble App Store!</div>

<b>Four months before</b><br />
After 2 marathon training sessions in 2013 on the borderline to Achilles Tendonitis, I reduced the mileage in my four month training period by about 50% compared to Copnehagen Marathon 2014.<br />
Accordingly, I was prepared to run either significantly slower times (insufficient training) or significantly faster times (less damage) than last year. I certainly did not expect what transpired...<br />
<br />
<b>The week before</b><br />
This year I elected for a complete rest from running the last week before Copenhagen. My right achilles was still tender, despite my reduced training load, and I figured the best I could do was give myself a complete rest. Five days before I started carb loading, by increasing the carbohydrate percentage of my diet and increasing my calorie count to 2000kCal/day.<br />
<br />
<b>The day before</b><br />
With 24 hours to go, I found myself checking the weather report every hour or so. Expected conditions fluctuated between very hot to very wet:<br />

I had arranged to collect my niece in Århus, then drive to Østerbro in Copenhagen and pick up my start number at the Expo around 6pm.<br />

The travelling went smoothly, and the Expo was bustling - I bought two pairs of CEP compression socks (the short version, as I already have compression sleeves) as I had picked up blisters from a half marathon in March, which I had run in regular supermarket socks... :-(<br />

We went out for a Pizza & lots of fluids and I hit the sack about 10pm.<br />
<br />
<b>The Day!</b><br />
<br />
Up at 5 for a quick breakfast of oats and half a liter of isotonic drink, slowly got dressed and by 0730 I was headed for the Metro, destination Islands Brygge. Arrived at 0800, dropped off my clothes and took my last drink. Walked quitely around, stretched a bit and heard a few more chapters of my audiobook to zone out.<br />

The route took us over Langebro into the City, through the center and out to Østerbro. I was on pace and running without issue by the time we headed back into the City at kilometer 10. Hot and humid.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>10-20km</b><br />
The next few kilometers brought us through my old neighbourhood (Nørrebro) where we had lived almost 20 years ago, then back into the center of town, over some cobbled roads to wake us up and at 17km we were heading back out to Vesterbro. Still holding my target pace and running with no issues. Halfway was passed in 2:14:00 which meant I would have to run an even split for both halves to come in under 04H30. By this stage I had eaten 2 Snickers bars (890kCal) and about half a liter of Powerade (80kCal) and had expended about 1600kCal.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>20-30km</b><br />
The long way back to Østerbro. Light rain started, which was a relief from the hot conditions up to now. I could feel it required more and more of an effort to maintain my pace, and I began to switch off my mind from my surroundings. Couldn't stomach eating more Snickers or drinking Powerade, so I picked up water at the stops. On the upside, it felt pretty much like last year (no worse, no better) so I knew if I could keep on without an injury I should make it through. At 30km the sky opened and it started to rain heavily.<br />

<b>30-Finish</b><br />
From 30k the hard work starts. Not fun any more. No thoughts. Foot. Next foot. Check pace. Shit. Push harder. Can't. C'mon, try. Can't. Just run. Foot. Next foot.<br />
<br />
The loops at 32km takes you AWAY from the finish line, and it's hard not to swear. Dammit, same again at 35km.... pace starts to really drop. SOOO close at 38km but the sadistic bastards put in another loop, 3kms AWAY this time! I'm beyond caring by now, just don't stop or I'll fall. Keep going.<br />
<br />

Finally, finally there are no more tricks and the road leads over Langebro and the finish line at Islandsbrygge. I could walk now. Nope. I could...? Nope. And finally, finally...<br />

<i>Marathon number 3!</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Post-race analysis:</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Shoes</b>: Merrel Vaporgloves are superb. Light, flexible, ultrathin, grippy - the perfect minimal running shoe.</li>
<li><b>CEP compression</b>: no blisters at all from the compression socks, despite wet weather. I drove the 6 hours home immediately after the marathon with no cramps and no issues. I ran a short run 3 days after the marathon with some stiffness, but no more than that. No injuries. No achilles problems. I am convinced the support they give works particularly well for long distance running and recovery.</li>
<li><b>iPhone/Pebble Smartwatch</b>: Pebble + WatchNote app are excellent for keeping relevant information (numbers, adresses, transportation, times etc etc. on hand. Pebble + iSmoothrun, with its multiple, user-configurable screens worked flawlessly at keeping me on pace. Kudos also to the extreme legibility of the Pebble Steel screen in direct sunlight, and its waterproof rating when sweating in a torrential downpour!</li>
<li><b>Time</b>: I should be able to run 4H10 to 4H20. My three marathon times have been between 4H31 (Copenhagen '13) and 4H38 (Berlin '13). Each time the wheels fall off at about 32km. I probably need to do a few more long runs in training, but I think the main issue is energy - I need to improve fueling. I ran pretty much the same race this year (dark green) as I did last year (light green) and clearly I ran (sorry) into issues at the same place. Must work on this... c'mon, dude!</li>
</ul>

<a href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2667340/Pebble/2014-04-16%2010.54.10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="536" src="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2667340/Pebble/2014-04-16%2010.54.10.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<b>Band/bracelet</b>: The original rubber strap of the KS and the leather strap / rubber bracelet are adequate, but not exceptional. I have ordered adapters for the Steel and will switch to quality nylon or leather NATO straps as soon as I have them. The bracelet fitting mount on the Steel is a bad design feature, and requires a further investement if other straps are to be used without modding them. <u>Winner: KS.</u><br />
<br />
<b>Screen</b>: The Steel screen is sharper to view, better than the KS but not enough so to be a deal-breaker. Reflection on the Steel screen is significantly more of an issue than the rounded screen of the KS. The sharp edges of the Steel tend to trap dust. On the plus side, the Gorilla glass is more scratch resistant (although a screen protector is cheap insurance for the KS) but the deal breaker for me as a runner is the elimination of the moire effect in sunlight. <u>Winner</u><u>: Steel.</u><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<b>Buttons</b>: the Steel buttons have an excellent tactile feel, but the KS buttons also have a good feel, or "click". Certainly not a deal breaker. <u>Winner</u><u>: even.</u><br />
<br />
<b>Potential for future software upgrades</b>: Steel has increased memory and a LED light, both of which may give advantages in the future. <u>Winner</u><u>: Steel.</u><br />
<br />
<b>Charger</b>: The Steel has slightly stronger magnets, but the KS charger really works fine, so no deal breaker. LED lights on the Steel are nice-to-have. <u>Winner</u><u>: even.</u><br />
<br />
<b>Weight/wearability</b>: Steel is slightly heavier and smaller. The weight is certainly no issue on the arm, even when running. I like the size of both, the KS is bold where the Steel is more refined. Both fit well on normal wrist sizes. Subjective opinion here so... <u>Winner</u><u>: even.</u><br />
<br />
<b>Vibration</b>: Finer, slightly "tinny" vibration on the Steel is easier to miss. This may be due to the steel bracelet I am using, which also appears to amplify the sound of the vibrator motor. Certainly useable on the Steel, I prefer the vibration of the KS, but need to try the Steel on a NATO strap before delivering judgement. <br />
<br />
<b>Appearance</b>: KS is more sporty, Steel more refined. As someone trying to project a refined, sporty image (yes, I said it!) I like the appearance of both. KS can be made more refined by fitting a wrap from GadgetWraps and a fine, oiled leather strap, Steel can be made more sporty by choosing the Matte Black with adapters and a NATO strap. <u>Winner</u><u>: even</u>.<br />
<br />
<b>Conclusion</b>: I give a slight edge to the Steel due to its elimination of the moire effect in sunlight and future-proofing. I will have to wear the Steel for a few weeks for the novelty effect to wear off, and try the adapters/NATO combination before I can decide which one to keep. <u>If I was forced to choose one right now, I would keep my trusty KS - set up to my taste - mainly due to my irrititation over the strap mounting system of the Steel.</u>HBTeicherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13907194034480467959noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6720061256013769152.post-77664885450872591372014-04-14T06:20:00.000-07:002014-06-10T06:24:44.671-07:00Pebble @World Half Marathon Championships, Copenhagen 2014<h3 style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, who could say no to that?

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We arrived in Copenhagen late in the afternoon, and loaded our gear off at my niece's apartment on Frederiksberg. Then we took the bus across town to Sparta Hallen, the site of the Expo and start-number pickup. Already here the flowing lines gave a foretaste of the amazing organization of the whole event. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After picking up our start numbers, and browsing the expo, we walked back into Frederiksberg and replenished our carbs at Sticks 'n Sushi before preparing our gear and getting a good nights sleep.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After breakfast of oats and milk at 8, we walked the 6km into Copenhagen center to get our legs loosened up. After dropping off our bags and jackets at the pickup-trucks we headed off for coffee at a sidewalk cafe, and by 11 we were moving toward the start area.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The race proper started at 12:00, but our starting group didn't get moving until about 30 minutes later. This was not a problem, as we had a grandstand view of a huge TV screen which allowed us to follow the elites' start and progress through the race: it was an amazing feeling to know we would be running the same race as the best in the world!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">0-17km:</span></h4>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally we were off, and I settled in to my pace of 5:40/km from the first few meters. I was able to keep adjusting my pace thanks to the iSmoothRun app on my Pebble Smartwatch. We had placed ourselves well, as I was able to latch on to a series of "pacers" fairly soon, and begin that process of abstraction I found necessary to remove my attention from the effort required to maintain a pace which was a full minute/km faster than my training paces (I really need to do something about those training paces...).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After 4km I was at Østerbro, and still on pace, feeling like I was working hard - but not more than I expected to be able to maintain. The experience was surreal, with literally thousands of spectators lining the route, helicopters overhead, chasing the best runners in the world... but this was just a foretaste of what was to come!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The temperature was rising, and I found myself looking for the shady side of the street (not a usual occurence in March in Denmark, let me assure you!). By 10km we were heading back in a loop through the City, and I could feel that I had been pushing hard - the effort was beginning to tell. In addition, I had developed a hotspot under each foot which signalled blisters under development. This is not something I usually have problems with, and I think they arose due to the exertion - and a slightly longer stride than I am used to.</span><br />

Here, the party really began - crowds 10 people thick on both sides of the street, live music everywhere and a general air of Spring, excitement and festival!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The 20km mark saw me passing Tivoli, and the last kilometer I ran on"empty" with clenched teeth and a growing desperation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally - the finish line: 21.27km at a pace of 5:39, and a time of...2:00:02!!! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was ecstatic at having had the chance to compete and finish without injury, at maintaining my goal pace so consistently (thanks Pebble and iSmoothRun!) and at having a running experience like no other - hours of winter plodding in slush and snow culminating in a superlative runing festival on a superb first-day-of-Spring!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Everyone who participated - elite and mass participant - contributed to a once-in-a-lifetime event. We all had the same goal: to reach and exceed our potential on the road. But the greatest thanks must go to the spectators and organizers, who turned the day into a true Festival of Running, and provided us with inspiration - both on the road but also for the years ahead!</span><br />

Personal setup of my own Pebble Kickstarter Edition, Gadgetwraps Brushed Titanium wrap, Grey NATO G-10 strap with PVD hardware running Pebblebits OS and demonstrating the watchfaces and apps I use on a daily basis. Here, in 2014, there is a lot of speculation regarding the new color-screen, voice-controlled Google and iWatch smartwatches - this video is to remind developers of the strength of simplicity... something Pebble seems to have grasped.HBTeicherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13907194034480467959noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6720061256013769152.post-51628446400839479352014-02-28T08:08:00.001-08:002014-02-28T08:08:30.102-08:00Three?

I picked up the 22mm tan NATO some years ago for a Seiko project, and it has been lying in my drawer since. These tan straps are easy to find on eBay, and seem to be made of an artificial leather, even though they are stamped as "leather". They are rather stiff and thick, which is why I have never really used them. However, this particular one was thin enough to fit between the springbars and case, so I broke it in by twisting it for a while until it became more supple. I tried to oil it, but it doesn't seem at all absorbant. The look, however, is rather nice and would match nicely with brown shoes and belt (or a Brooks leather bicycle saddle, for thos so inclined ;-).<br />

Fuzzy English Plus was originally Fuzzy French Plus, which I re-programmed to English and changed the text size of the auxilliary information to improve legibility. This is my "non-work" watch face as I tend to grasp the time more intuitively seeing it in this fashion - at work I need to keep an eye on upcoming appointments so I tend to use Smartstatus or Smartwatch Pro here.HBTeicherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13907194034480467959noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6720061256013769152.post-9461555848624282362014-02-25T12:41:00.003-08:002014-02-28T12:14:20.230-08:00LaTex Date Watchface<br />

As a runner I am on the fence, as with a Gadgetwraps wrap the Original Pebble has exactly the same functionality as the Steel, is almost as attractive and is more versatile... I can't decide whether the looks/versatility tradeoff is worth 250USD! I would like to hear if others have had the same <a href="http://forums.getpebble.com/search?Search=%23firstworldproblems&Mode=like">#firstworldproblems</a> dilema... <br /><br /><br /><img src="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2667340/Pebble/Photo%2019-01-14%2012.53.40.jpg" /><br /><br /><br />For me, the Pebble is about versatility. The fact that the Pebble Steel precludes NATO straps means that I will probably pass on it. While it looks nice, the functions are the same but the versatility is reduced. As a watch geek, I do hope Pebble will consider reaching out to the community when designing the next Pebble. The current steel straps are folded-link bracelets which signal "cheap" to most watch collectors, and I am afraid any sales of Pebble-specific bracelets will be offset by a reduction in potential Pebble Steel sales to people like me. I only hope that Pebble will offer a quick-adjustment, quality sports strap so that I can justify buying a Pebble Steel after all ;-)<br /><br /><img src="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2667340/Pebble/Photo%2019-01-14%2014.41.03.jpg" /></span>HBTeicherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13907194034480467959noreply@blogger.com0
