Usually winters are difficult for me and my mood drops starting around October and not improving until sometime in April. Starting two months ago I started tracking habits I think will help me have a better time in winter along with how I rate my mood each day.
I'm pretty excited because I think I'm beginning to find which knobs and switches do things and which don't and I have a path forward to improving things further.

@toddtyrtle Zach has long covid so I've been wanting to get him a Garmin to help him avoid crashes. I'd never actually seen the body batter graphs so wasn't entirely sure how useful it would be. Judging by what you've shown in your blog, looks great and could make a real difference for him!
@ADupuis It is really good that way. I'm fascinated with all the data it gives me. Some of it is better quality than others I'm sure. Wrist-based heart rate is OK but SPO2 readings seem a little wonky at times so I only use that on demand.
Sorry to hear about Zach - that's awful. May he feel better soon.
I'm not sure how it would help to avoid crashes but mine will call someone if it detects that *I've* had a crash so that's really good.
@toddtyrtle Crashes happen if he overdoes things when he's feeling good, so the body battery can help him know when he needs to slow down or maybe lie down for a bit. It's been 2 years and recovery is slow with a lot of setbacks. Which model did you get?
@ADupuis Oh *CRASH* Yes. I was thinking crash as in falling down. But yes, that makes sense now. And yeah - I could see this being helpful.
I went for a Fenix 7 - but no solar or "Sapphire" model - didn't need all that. Battery will apparently record a 50+ hour ride without solar so I'm good.
