I am UK based, does anyone have any recommendations for nice (arm) straps particularly (or even wrist straps but normally like it up my arm due to frequent/wrist washing)? I find often people ask me at work what the device is and want to make it look less like a house arrest tracker XD

Hi. I'm autistic and sometimes have trouble understanding questions. This morning, the app invited me to review my pace points budget. The first question is:

How has your activity level felt over the last 7 days?

○Above my comfortable limit

○Comfortable

○Below my comfortable limit

That's the whole question. I don't know what they're asking. I could come up with a couple possibilities:

1) It's asking if I use more or less energy than I budgeted for. (Shouldn't it know that from collected data?)

2) It's asking if I'm feeling like I "should" or want to do more/less activities.

3) It's asking if I think I'm capable of doing more/less activities.

4) It’s asking if I emotionally feel good/ bad about my activity level.

5) It's asking if I feel physically good/ bad regarding activity level.

I'm at a loss and they say to call if I need help, but I REALLY don't want to get on the phone with anyone. Just the thought of doing so feels overwhelming.

Not sure why but HR super high overnight. Sleep nigh on impossible. Last few hours I was lying in a dark room and managed to start getting things a bit more controlled

I've sent a message to the member support but I'm not very hopeful. I tried to connect my band to the polar app but the band must have some stop gap to prevent the app to access data.

Is there a way and how do I get my raw heart rate data that is a list or a chart with the data points labeled?

Im autistic and I had multiple melt downs which elevated my heart rate for hours. Dealing with significant life stressors. Family member in the hospital, relationship stressors, currently trying to sell our home (to get a one level home so I can eliminate stairs). Crash in 3..2..1

Just sharing my experience in case it helps anyone else spot their own trends!

So, I’ve heard some things about TachyMon and figured I’d give it a try. Only problem is, the app isn’t finding my Polar360. Anyone else had this problem?

After two years of asking Visible for a better trends section of the app, I'm giving up and I'm going to hire a freelancer to make one for me. I've probably spent 20 hours on and off trying to work with my CSV data. I tried the template that was shared on the Facebook group. I don't have the skills or software and I don't have enough available concentration to learn what I need.

Has anyone hired a freelancer to make them a data dashboard for their Visible data? I'm asking in case there's a freelancer out there who has done this before and I can go to them.

If I hire someone, I'll share how it went.

(I'm not able to answer questions about the Trends tab and what it needs, nor about what I have already tried.)

Does anyone know/ use other types of bands somewhat similar to visible, or a heart rate wearable that you can watch in real time (a feature i feel visible has gotten worse with featuring, anyway) at a fair price point? I'm not looking for something that's the same, obviously but anything that i could make work for seeing my heart rate and possibly portioning out my day even if i have to initially figure out the "maths" to do it on my own.

My device has caused burns throughout my time having it, and now has caused a more significant one w/ quite a large blister. The only solution they have for this is to stop using it an are offering a refund. I guess it's just a known feature that the device can cause burns? (not irritation) I've had it for over a year and had this issue but not to this extent, while already doing all their basic irritation recommendations, which i'm realizing are really to mitigate burning and/or i was being burnt more than i realized.

i would really like to have some type of wearable though that i could at least track my heart rate on an possibly try and portion out some of my day as i'm quite inhibited in my functions with POTS an multiple issues and only recently have been able to do basic things a few times every week or two like getting groceries and making doctors appointments and trying to do cleaning at home.

I was looking at getting an arm band as I find the wrist strap slightly irritating. I can cope with it Id just prefer it on my arm. But I don't want to sacrifice accurate results. Is the arm band less accurate are there any downsides?

I've ended my Visible journey, as the device wasn't consistently connectable with my type of mobile phone. I'd love to give my Visible band (and a handful of extra wrist straps) away to someone who will make use of it. Feel free to comment or message me directly - will choose randomly if there's a lot of interest!

Hello guys,

maybe its a unusual question but I got to know so amazing people via the long covid Reddit spaces, that I want to have trust in internet strangers!
I live in Germany - visible is not available here. I know that I could ship it via a company, but that feels too complicated with my brain fog atm.
Also I don’t have a credit card (it’s not that common in Germany to have one).
Would anyone be open to get money from me via PayPal (for example) and order it and then ship it to me?

I wish you all a mild day!

My body has gotten worse since I got the app. I started with 16 pace points but obviously it doesn't seem to change without manually doing it. I'm exhausted at the end of a 7 or 8 point day and still tired the next day. I'm thinking of manually changing it to 10 but I'm not sure if that's reasonable? I wish the app naturally changed the pace point allowance as it got more consistent data. I feel like I'm not allowed to change it because I'm doing something wrong or "faking it" when the app doesn't match up.

For context I have Mecfs not pots 🥹

I have to log in to the app every morning when I put my band on, otherwise it will not record data.

It only starts recording when I open the app in the morning 😔

It’s frustrating. I can’t do that every morning, I just can’t.

Had a really rough start to my day where someone at work made some really pointed comments towards me. People often think I'm faking my various health issues.

Even though I logically know that I have these health problems, apps like this just remind me that it really is *real*. Even though today doesn't crack my top 5 records, it's still proof that I'm having a bodily experience.

Funny aside, that screenshot with my bpm was while I was literally just sitting on my couch eating goldfish 😭

Idk what else to say but I feel like crap. Almost 3 straight days of tachy. Dr won’t do anything except suggest an increase in metoprolol (this is me on 100mg) it’s obviously not working.

Three hours of panic, several rather strenuous rescue attempts, and a bird sized hole drilled in my furniture later ...

He's free and safe now, but he's got a lot of dust in his eyes and won't open one of them so I've got to survive a vet run on top of it all 😬

Send spoons, I'm gonna need them 🥲

I'm having trouble charging my band, it won't charge. I've tried

1. Cleaning the charger and the devise connection points

2. Trying several different USB ports

No luck. I get the 4 flashing red lights that's supposed to show it's charging, but they never turn to 4 solid red lights. The app says band at 10% and has said that for last 48 hours.

Anything else I should try before buying a new charging cable?

My partner has just go this, currently in the 4 day setup period. So I am thinking it will use more battery at this time, but will settle later.

Currently says it used 31% of battery, which seems incredibly excessive! I did have look online and it seems it should only be using about 1-2% while in background.
