  GaryRobArms replied to the thread What Garmin are you wearing?.
  
  You're not missing anything. The AW02 is not a Garmin. Made by a company called Beeasy. Not a GPS watch, no map capability, no step counter, no smartphone connectivity. Has none of the features requested at the beginning of this conversation, so...

  GaryRobArms replied to the thread What Garmin are you wearing?.
  
  I used a Garmin Forerunner 945 (precursor to 965) on Camino Portuguese and on the Camino Del Norte. I used it for recording my walking as an activity every day, so the GPS was active during that. I didn’t use the maps on it. I used my iPhone for...

  GaryRobArms replied to the thread Hike-footwear shoes.

  GaryRobArms replied to the thread The Camino and maybe not quite 'getting it'?.
  
  Yes, I agree that your singing retreat experience is similar to the experience of being on a Camino. At least, it is for me; Maybe not for others. Specifically for me. I don't naturally buy into much of the Camino mythology that is so well...

  GaryRobArms replied to the thread Wired Noise Cancelling Ear Buds?.
  
  To solve your "fall-out" problem, an alternative would be to get ANC ear-buds that have a neck band. That is, there is light, flexible yoke that goes around the back of the base of your neck, and the earbuds are connected to that by wires. I...
