Time is short this morning, but a thought to those who make products used for a purpose, from cell phones to exercise equipment.
If you can’t turn a feature off, it is a bug, not a feature
When it comes to excercise equipment that incorporates electronics, I want it to read out critical information, not feel-good messages. I want to be able to see time, distance, heart rate, and other without having to guess what is going on because you want to encourage me, or spend thirty seconds telling me that I’m X percent done, etc. Since they can’t be turned off, they are a bug; and, even if they could be, they still are not a good feature for someone who is doing a serious workout.
Grumble.
